How do you define success in mobilization? What do we do when we don’t see results in mobilization? Do you ever feel so discouraged that you want to quit? In this episode of the Gospel Mobilization Podcast, you’ll hear from Professor Terry Powell as he shares his own struggles with depression and failure. Dr. Powell is adjunct faculty at Columbia International University and author of the book, Serve Strong: Biblical Encouragement to Sustain God's Servants. You’ll appreciate Dr. Powell’s transparency and knowledge as he reminds us that the mobilization ministry we do is an important calling. He provides some tools for us to view discouragement and failure with a fresh perspective. Here are some of the questions host Dave Jacob asked:
1. Often the ministry of mobilization is the long game and we don't see immediate results. That can be discouraging but you note some themes in Barnabus' life we can glean from. Can you share about that? 2. How can playing back God's call help mobilizers who feel discouraged? 3. How should we define success in the ministry of missions mobilization? 4. How can we handle those in authority who might put pressure on mobilizers to "hit the numbers”?
