Resting in our King

Resting in our King

Psalm 95 is both an invitation and a warning, and it's important that we heed both of them. Watch the video version [https://youtu.be/jM2erGtpixY] of this sermon.

Unsafe shepherds

Gentleness is both a safe word and an unsafe word, which makes gentleness such an indispensable trait for shepherd leaders. Check out this clip from my time on the Leading from Alignment podcast.

Stop talking about other people

The Bible has much to say to those who talk about others, and none of it is good.

Royal robes

The clothing of King David not only points us to the clothing of King Jesus, but also the clothing of the saints as well. Watch the video version [https://youtu.be/SzLxy2N-Smg] of this sermon.

Run away or face it?

A storm is coming. What are you going to do: brace for it or run for cover? Watch the video version [https://youtu.be/y_h5-dMhKNI] of this episode. The Scriptures I reference in this video are Proverbs 27:12; Matthew 6:8, 32; James 1:2-4; and Romans 5:3-5 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2027%3A12%3B%20Matthew%206%3A8%2C%2032%3B%20James%201%3A2-4%3B%20Romans%205%3A3-5&version=NIV]. I also mentioned a previous related blog post entitled Faith Over Fear [https://craigtowens.com/2022/09/27/faith-over-fear/]. One of the storms many leaders face is the attack from those whom they lead. I address this topic extensively—and a better alternative to a fight-or-flight response—in my book When Sheep Bite [https://craigtowens.com/when-sheep-bite-book/]. ►► Would you please prayerfully consider supporting this ministry?
