Mature Me w/ Rich Wilkerson Jr.

A calling from God will cost you everything but it’s worth everything.This week I sit down with Bobby Chandler—husband, father, and founder of Authentic Church, now a full-time evangelist—to talk about calling, surrender, and the seasons that shape you.From waiting tables to planting a church, Bobby shares how God gives direction without details and how every waiting season is an invitation to serve.We talk about humility, obedience, and the faith to follow when God moves you from place to place. His story carries a miracle too—his daughter’s healing, his family’s surrender, and God’s provision every step of the way.It’s a reminder that God starts with seeds, not mountains. Don’t miss it. Premieres at 7:30PM 🔗

This week I’m joined by one of my favorite evangelists, @keenanclark_, alongside @dakotaduron—two voices calling a generation back to truth.Keenan’s a husband, father, and author who preaches with fire and conviction. His words carry weight, reminding us that preaching isn’t about performance; it’s about obedience. That fasting is training for the fight. That boldness is born in prayer and knowing the Word of God.We talk about preaching with conviction, standing bold in love, and fasting as preparation for the battles ahead. Keenan reminds us that clarity produces confidence, and confidence produces boldness. The more you build history with God, the bolder you’ll become.Real grace doesn’t excuse sin; it empowers obedience. Truth leads. Fasting trains. Boldness builds.Keep me bold, God.🔗 Tune in tonight at 7:30PM.

“Singleness is a piece of cake, it’s layered.” 🍰This week on Mature Me, Rich sits down with Manouchka Charles—preacher, location director, and a leader in many capacities at VOUS Church.Together they unpack what it means to be single & secure—content in the present while secure enough to believe for what’s ahead. Manouchka shares about the layers of singleness, the pressures and temptations of the season, and the importance of building a strong foundation of character, maturity, and identity.Her message is clear: singleness doesn’t stop you from walking in your purpose. It’s not a pause button, but a season to grow, to prepare, and to walk confidently in the purpose God has already placed in your hands.Releases tonight at 7:30 PM 🔗 Sign up for Leadership With Rich free weekly newsletter: ⁠⁠https://www.richwilkersonjr.com⁠⁠Watch this episode on Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCARNPkLHwzeC4KSXGu4RISQ⁠ Follow Rich on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/richwilkersonjr/⁠Follow Rich on TikTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@richwilkersonjr?lang=en⁠

On the road to VOUSCon earlier this year, Rich led a staff meeting to celebrate wins, cast vision, and talk about where they’re headed.In this session, Rich unpacks a leadership principle inspired by Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: the Circle of Concern, the Circle of Influence, and the Circle of Control. He explains how great leaders focus on what they can actually lead, change, and steward—rather than being consumed by what’s out of their hands.Drawing from Genesis 45, Rich shares three areas every leader must keep under control: attitude, habits, and voice. It’s a reminder that effective leadership starts with leading yourself well.Catch the full leadership talk and be encouraged to lead—proactively, intentionally, and faithfully.Sign up for Leadership With Rich free weekly newsletter: ⁠https://www.richwilkersonjr.com⁠Watch this episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCARNPkLHwzeC4KSXGu4RISQ Follow Rich on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richwilkersonjr/Follow Rich on TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@richwilkersonjr?lang=en⁠
