Pastor Dale Lewis describes the incredible impact of taking twelve ordinary men through a transforming 13 week series called "The Barnabus Course" developed by Christian pioneer Cliff Stabler.

You probably need a sabbatical from your duties as a pastor and don't even realize it. A time of extended rest from the everyday grind of 24/7 ministry is many times what Christ asks us to do so we may serve His Church effectively. Karl Vaters interviews Sean Nemecek...and this conversation will give the overworked, trapped pastor an answer to his vocational dilemma.

An in-depth conversation with Pastor Brian Heminger on the realities of pastoral retirement. Who is called to actually retire? What does the end of a life in ministry look like? And ... is it really the "end"? What are the "road signs" of a pastoral career winding down?

What's it like to minister in Las Vegas? Known for its infamous moniker, "Sin City," it does a lot to live up to that. Its other famous tagline is "what happens here stays here," a line that invites all manner of dark activities. Can people be reached in a place like Las Vegas? Can a church thrive? Is it possible to hear from the Holy Spirit concerning how to reach the lost in a place like Vegas? Take it from one who has lived in Las Vegas for decades, the answer is "yes." The methodology employed is Spirit-led, and Word-driven. Add to these things a surprising component, and you've got life! Our guest: Pastor John Knapp. Be encouraged.

Pastor Dale Lewis is an example of a man who continues to allow the Lord to do what He wants in and through his life. Dale has pastored two churches: Calvary Chapel Merced in the central valley of California, and Bitterroot Calvary Chapel in Hamilton, Montana. He has since retired from the church in Montana, and now lives in Florida, from which he continues to serve the Lord within his calling and gifting. I’ve known Dale since 1981, and will never forget the Sunday morning when he and his wife Donna both raised their hands to receive Christ. As an older pastor friend of mine used to say, “They got saved real good.” Dale is not only a follower of Jesus Christ, he is also a discipler of men. Dale is also involved with a project stemming from his many years of verse-by-verse Bible teaching. Through scripturesupply.com, the Word of God is going out to anyone in the world who can read manuscript Bible teaching notes in any of 103 languages. Keep listening to the end. There is a huge opportunity for pastors to become better equipped to mentor others.
