Struggling to talk about money and generosity with your church? In this episode of Breaking Barriers, we explore five essential principles that help pastors authentically lead their congregation in biblical giving. Learn why generosity is one of the most powerful discipleship tools available, how to shift from wanting something FROM people to FOR people, and practical ways to teach tithing and first fruits giving. Whether you're preparing for end-of-year giving campaigns or building a year-round culture of generosity, this conversation covers the heart issues, theological foundations, and leadership practices that make discussing money feel natural and transformational.

Many churches struggle with community ministry that feels disconnected from making disciples. In this episode, we break down how adoption and foster care ministry serves as a powerful evangelistic tool—not just a "feel good" initiative. From reaching biological parents to discipling children in Christian homes, Pastor Andrew and Pastor Landon share practical insights from helping 200+ families engage in foster care and adoption. Plus: why knowing your church's unique gifts matters more than copying another church's model. Perfect for pastors wanting mission-aligned community impact.

Most churches have solid theology about discipleship but still struggle to make disciples. Why? Because good theology ALONE doesn't lead to good discipleship, relentless execution on good theology does. In this episode, Pastor Bobby breaks down the critical difference between discipleship theory and discipleship practice, using Acts 2 as a framework. Alignment matters more than you think. Learn how to avoid "cashing out" your momentum, and why the "day by day" execution is where most churches fail. If your church has tried multiple discipleship models without seeing results, this conversation will challenge how you think about making disciples.
