Breaking Barriers

How can you create and instill an inviter culture in your church, and what can we learn from the story of the paralytic from Mark chapter 2? One thing is for sure: his friends were desperate for this man to meet Jesus, and we should have that same desperation.

Limiting beliefs can keep us from stepping out and doing big things. Let's be honest... its HARD to start something, or shift the direction on something without knowing what the outcome will be! What you believe about success and growth on the front end is a pretty good determiner of what you're going to see happen. In this episode, Pastor Bobby gives us 10 limiting beliefs that are common for church planters/leaders and then some practical steps to overcome those limiting beliefs. breakinggrowthbarriers.com

We can't control what God does... but we can prepare the jars for God to work in and through us and our church. In this episode, Pastor Andrew and Pastor Bobby dive into 2 Kings, where Elisha tells the woman to prepare the jars for oil–and the miracle of the multiplication of the oil is directly related to the number of jars that the woman prepared! We can't multiply the oil, but we can prepare the jars. Are we preparing the metaphorical jars for what we want to see God do in our church? Be sure to subscribe for more content like this!
