Success has a scoreboard, but who decided what points count? We start with raw worship and real revival reports, including churches uniting and hundreds receiving the Holy Ghost, and then we turn toward the question that quietly shapes every ministry decision: what do we mean when we say “successful”?

Dr. Jackson joins us with stories that feel almost too familiar if you’ve spent time in Pentecostal leadership, like the moment a simple ride in a rental car turns into someone shouting and speaking in tongues. From there we talk about the fivefold ministry, the freedom of God to work outside our plans, and the hard prayer of surrender: cancel my thoughts and let your purpose lead. Along the way we pause to pray, because Apostolic mentoring is not theory to us, it’s lived obedience.

Then we challenge the metrics most of us inherit without noticing: attendance, buildings, and cash. We don’t deny those numbers exist, but we refuse to let them define spiritual success or church health. Instead, we name deeper measures that actually build a Spirit-filled church that lasts: discipleship, evangelism, and fellowship. The conversation lands on faithfulness, not hype, and on benediction over reputation, with a reminder that you don’t control outcomes, you control obedience.

If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a leader who feels pressure to “produce,” and leave a review so more people can find Apostolic Mentoring.

We love to hear from our listeners! Thank you!
