Ministry Matters with Bishop Douglas White

Our fourth and final episode on 'Burdens & Callings: The Peace and Power of Knowing the Difference' attempts to wrap up the concept of your ability to have a burden without a 'calling' to any particular designation.  It is, however, impossible to have a true calling if you don't have a consistent burden that drives that calling.  Join us today for the conclusion of this lesson delivered live to our congregation.

Truly desiring to be used of God means you will eventually be confronted with the question, "If this a BURDEN or is this a CALLING?"  Even worse, many have absolutely no clue if there is even a difference in a Burden and a Calling!  Join us for the second installment of 'BURDENS & CALLINGS: The Peace and Power of Knowing the Difference'.

One of the most confusing things to someone who truly desires to be used of God is being confronted with the question, "If this a BURDEN or is this a CALLING?"  Even worse, many have absolutely no clue if there is even a difference in a Burden and a Calling!  Join us over the next few weeks as we explore 'BURDENS & CALLINGS: The Peace of Knowing the Difference'

Today we finalize the 5 part lesson, "The Apostolic Advancement of Unwavering Commitments', and are once again joined the Pastor Benjamin White.  This lesson was taught to the ministry and leadership of Abundant Life of Silsbee and made available to you, the listener, to help enhance God's ability to bring Apostolic Advancement to your life!

We're being joined this week by the powerful direction of Pastor Benjamin White as we go into the 4th installment of a lesson taught to our ministries and leadership at Abundant Life of Silsbee called 'The Apostolic Advancement of Unwavering Commitments'.  Join us as we attempt to strengthen the ministry and leadership of this present day Apostolic Church!

Last week we spoke about things that you DO NOT want to do if you're going to develop effective study habits.  This week we're looking at things you absolutely DO want to, things that will enhance your ability to study for sermons in a more productive manner.

To be truly called of God means being driven to be the best you can be.  Developing productive study habits are enhanced or minimized by certain 'DO' and 'DO NOT' elements in a minister's world.  Today we're looking at those things you 'DO NOT' want to affect the development of productive study habits.

Every passionate ministry is anxious to be involved in the work of God... but, if they are not careful, many mistakes can be made when they bypass God's chosen timing and start operating by their desire instead of God's wisdom.  Here are some basic guidelines as it pertains to the dangers of not knowing the answers to the question, "When can I go?"

Every sermon built has to start somewhere.  It's been my observation that where that sermon starts either makes it easier to prepare... or makes it much harder to prepare.  In this podcast of Ministry Matters, we share where sermons start and the importance of building that sermon with the right directives, and how it makes your sermons much more effective to the purpose of God.

There are a lot of things that 'Elders' used to teach their upcoming ministries.  Among them was the importance of how your claim to have a ministry will affect the humanity around you.  This podcast looks back at what to expect when YOUR ministry collides with THEIR humanity.

It happens to everyone in ministry at some point in our lives.  We, in the process of trying to help others, feel that uncomfortable 'disconnect' in our spirit that leaves us unsure, unfulfilled, and sometimes unaware of what's going on.  This podcast explains what causes that 'disconnect' among sincere hearted ministries.

Have you ever wondered why some called to ministry flourish while others, with the same kind of calling, seemingly flounder?  There is a massive difference in a 'maybe' ministry and a 'martyr' ministry.  This podcast examines that difference for every hungry hearted soul.

Who would have dreamed it would even be a factor... but reality demands that, sometimes, you have to protect your marriage from your very own ministry!  This podcast surveys the different 'snare points' that can damage or destroy your ministry... as well as the 'safeguards' that will protect you marriage as you navigate the treacherous aspects of ministry.
