Key Take aways:

Today’s episode was filled with hope and thoughts that will motivate others to move in a forward direction with their own ministries. Listening to Pastor Adams reminds us that even though we feel like we might have misinterpreted God’s calling, that the calling to lead a ministry is exactly what we are supposed to be doing at this time in our lives. Pastor Adams talks about reaching out for help after realizing he alone could not bring growth and unity into his church. He reached out to 24toDouble, and with one simple email to Richard Chancy the ball started rolling toward the growth of his church and believing in his own abilities as well as the abilities of his church leaders.

He utilized the step-by-step process of 24toDouble and has become more focused on what exactly he needs to identify and work on to make his church beneficial to all its members. He paid attention to those who can receive help and blessings from the church and said goodbye to those who might benefit from another church. He realized that this is okay, and, in the long run, good for his church.

Pastor Adams talks about using his strengths and skills that he brought with him into the church. He was a football coach. He found that while using God’s help, 24toDouble, some motivation and putting teams together, they would enhance the church experience for all. He has also incorporated some new outlets as well, such as music and media.

The conversation discloses the fact that self-doubt, fear, and the feeling that he needs to do this alone is one that many will identify with. Listening to his transformation is incredible. He has put into place tools from the 24toDouble website that promote growth for his church, more quality time spent with his family, and the ability to pay closer attention to the church’s newest members.
