Ep. 202: Jesus WANTS us to Take Risks Through Faith - Leadership & Culture ft. Pastor Brian Hughes

Video
Men’s Alliance

Pastor Brian Hughes from Passion Community Church shares his journey to faith, which began later in life after experiencing a pivotal moment with his daughter. Despite initial challenges and criticisms, Brian followed God's guidance to create a church for non-traditional churchgoers, leading to significant growth and impact. His emphasis on trusting in God's provision, taking risks, and fostering a culture of transparency and delegation has allowed the church to thrive and reach a wider audience. The importance of aligning actions with God's will, seeking feedback, and empowering others within the organization are key themes in Brian's leadership approach, ultimately resulting in a supportive and accountable community focused on continuous progress and following God's calling.

Video

Millions suffer from anxiety, yet people usually hide it.  In this episode, Robert gets real and shares his journey.  He includes what the Bible says about anxiety, to include the practical steps he took to cope with anxiety.  The book You Are Not Your Brain by Jeffrey Schwartz and Rebecca Gladding shares the following 4 steps: 1) Relabel 2) Reframe 3) Refocus 4) Revalue Ending with some verses that help bring strength and peace with Philippians 4:4-9 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be  careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with  thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
