Mark 4:20-32

How real is heaven to you? Even as believers, is heaven just a concept that we read or study in the Word rather than a real, ultimate destination? We read about joy and hope God infuses within us towards, not only heaven, but also to carry us through the ups and downs of this life. Do we truly LIVE this reality out for others to see? Pastor Brian Brodersen considers such truths in a discussion with author, Randy Alcorn. Having written over fifty books, pastored a church at one time and now directing the non-profit, Eternal Perspective Ministries, Randy shares the need to remember that true happiness and hope in heaven is a real thing that matters.

In today’s episode of CGN Voices, Pastor Jeff Gipe talks with book coach and ghostwriter, Mary Pero. They discuss what a book coach is and does, the process of writing and publishing a book, as well as provide some tips on how to get started if you’re thinking about writing a book yourself. Mary offers encouragement to those of us who don’t really feel like writers, and helps us shift our mindset about why we write books, the power of our personal story, and how to think about marketing.Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life https://a.co/d/3rWCWaHOn Writing: A Memoir of the Craft (A Memoir of the Craft (Reissue)) https://a.co/d/40wJjDPBefore and After the Book Deal: A Writer's Guide to Finishing, Publishing, Promoting, and Surviving Your First Book https://a.co/d/4wBIQmGwww.marypero.comOnline course

Welcome to the Cultivate Church Planting Podcast I’m Brian Kelly, joined by my co-host Nick Cady. Today, we’re tackling a topic that every church planter will face, but many find challenging: managing money and finances in a church plant. This is one of those areas where wisdom, planning, and stewardship can make or break a ministry’s impact. 

We’re thrilled to have Seth Allingham with us for this episode. Seth has extensive experience in church finances and administration, and he’s here to help us navigate the practical and biblical aspects of managing resources in ministry. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re already in the trenches, this episode is packed with insights that will help you steward what God has entrusted to your church. Let’s dive in!

Pastor John Knapp of Calvary Chapel Green Valley in Henderson, Nevada is passionate about the Lord Jesus Christ and he and the fellowship he pastors are experiencing a wonderful time of renewal in the Holy Spirit. 

So, that's what we’re going to speaking with him about today … we'll hear their testimony and the wisdom the Spirit has given them.

John is the founding pastor of CC Green Valley and has pastored for years. I (Bill Holdridge) met John through being practically neighbors, and through the monthly senior pastor’s breakfast that happens in Las Vegas. 

It’s been said of some churches that if the Holy Spirit completely vacated the building and fellowship life, things wouldn’t miss a beat. Implying, of course, that all they had been doing was energized by human effort only, and not influenced by the very One Jesus prayed about to His Father, that He (the Holy Spirit) would be our parakletos.

How might a senior pastor move more into the realm and ministry of the Holy Spirit?

How does a pastor or congregation become open to the person of the Holy Spirit? 

What has Calvary Chapel Green Valley learned about how to seek God for and be open to the Holy Spirit's direction in the life of the pastor and the church?
