Pastors Thriving | Ministry, Leadership, Discipleship, Church Growth, Small Church Strategies

I know sometimes it feels impossible to make what you are currently facing to be light and easy, but there is a way! Today on my show, I’m going to introduce you to my friend Andy who’s going to show you a new way o...

Worry is a pandemic in our culture today. You cannot go anywhere without feeling and facing some form of anxiety that provides the minds of most. Why is worry so prominent in our minds? I think it is misunderstanding! We've not sought to understand and obey the word of the Lord when it comes to worry. We don't have a specific plan to attack worry when it shows up. In my podcast, we're going to inv...

Hi! So glad you're here, let's get right to work. Big events, like Easter, can be daunting in the church world. They can be so overwhelming and you feel you have to sell your soul to make them work.

In this Episode, we're going to exp...

When it comes to personal growth and business development, we have to understand that there are good and bad qualities of leadership.

In this episode of Kevin Elworth Unplugged, we'll walk through how to ide...

Why do you do what you're doing? Why do you stay at it, day after day, minute after minute? What's the reason? Think about it - every facet of your life contains a "why" behind it. When we're tested and up against something that is trying our patience and fortitude, we can tend to lose heart in the things we are about and the things we are doing because we don't know why. In this episode of Kevin...
