About this listen
In this raw and encouraging conversation, Phil sits down with Jim Collins to talk about something we don't hear enough in ministry circles: failure. Jim shares his personal story of planting a church in Tennessee that didn’t go as planned—from launch dreams to a painful unraveling. But more than that, Jim reflects on the deeper lessons God taught him about leadership, calling, submission, and identity through that hard season.
Whether you’re a young leader eager to launch or a seasoned pastor navigating burnout or regret, this episode is a grace-filled reminder that failure isn’t fatal—and God is never done shaping us.
Key Topics Covered:
- The danger of launching without spiritual counsel
- How pride and ambition can masquerade as calling
- The difference between modeling and copying a ministry
- Why slowing down is not the same as disobedience
- What it looks like to find your identity after ministry “failure”
- Leadership lessons from real-world pain
- The importance of submitting to authority before leading others
Key Quotes:
“If you can’t submit, you can’t lead.”“I was self-called. God allowed it, but I don't think He authored it.”
“Failure doesn’t mean you’re finished. It might mean God’s preparing you.”
