If you're anything like me, then the chances are that you've had your fair share of struggles as a leader. These obstacles can be frustrating but in reality, aren't so much an issue to overcome rather than the everyday bumps in our careers and personal lives; this is what I write about on my blog.
Good morning, Reader. Four days from now, Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church walks into a room with Mars Hill Anywhere for the first joint service either congregation has held in years. That is not a small thing. Two pulpits do not share one microphone by accident. This Sunday: The Gathering The Gathering: One City. One Savior. One Worship Experience. This Sunday, Mars Hill and Ebenezer combine into one 11:00 AM service, done by 12:30. Tag-team welcome and announcements, one combined worship…
I was gone. Not glancing-at-the-phone gone. Actually gone. And Mars Hill Anywhere did not fall apart without me, because this was never supposed to run through one man’s exhaustion in the first place. Family. Friends. This church. You pushed me out the door and then held the ministry down while I was out of pocket. That is not a small ask, and you did not treat it like one. Thank you. Homegoing: Vevely A.

Bring someone who needs it, or come as you are. Still online too, if that’s where you are. But if you can be here, be here. See you Sunday. Pastor Clarence E. Stowers, Jr.
Hey Reader, You’ve done the work. Five weeks of it. You named the wilderness. You faced the giants. You stopped waiting to feel ready. And you still haven’t said the one sentence that matters. You’ve circled the mountain. Prayed around it. Called it being “open to whatever God wants.” But be honest, a private hope never has to be defended. Keep it vague, and if it doesn’t happen, nobody ever saw you want it. This Sunday, in the finale of GIVE ME MY MOUNTAIN, we closed that exit. The Big Idea…
Caleb got the deed to Hebron at eighty-five and drove out the giants in the very next verse.
