As pastors, we are all hoping to raise kids that love the Lord and love His church. But it can seem tricky to navigate when the world around us is so dark and church wounds are very real. Many of us even fear our kids will be driven away from the church or walk away from their faith.
This is a candid conversation hosted by Rachel Swanson of New City Church and her dad, Pastor Bob Johnson, who raised four Jesus-lovin’ and church-building PKs, with many bumps and lessons learned along the way.

Pastor Eric Butler from Christian International Church challenges us that no matter what challenges you are facing, you are built for this, because you are built by God.
It’s time for the Samuel’s, it’s time for you. Pastor Jerushah Tanner (Living Hope) takes us through a very familiar story; the story of Samuel to remind us that sometimes we need to hear the familiar to reveal our true identity.
We have a future, God has a future for us and it’s going to be the best that is yet to come. Good leaders lean into the future despite everything that is going on around them. Listen as Dr. Frank Damazio helps us become leaders who know how to lean and lead into the future.
The moment that we’re in doesn’t pause the mission that we’re on. Dr. Ed Stetzer from Wheaton College shares a powerful reminder and message on how we can be faithful to our mission in THIS time and THIS moment.
God wants to shift you from the place where you are to the place where you are going but it’s not going to happen without prayer. Pastor William McDowell (Deeper Fellowship Church) challenges us to not grow weary when it comes to prayer. It’s time to go back to the secret place for some of the things that have been on our heart for our cities and churches.
This year has been one that many of us were not planning on. There was no manual, or MFI breakout session on how to pastor through a pandemic, and if we’re being honest, it’s easy to get discouraged. But there is one thing; God knew 2020 was going to happen and He still chose you to lead your church through it. Pastor Tracy Wilde-Pace shares some practical ways to not get discouraged as we continue to pastor through one of the most difficult seasons in our lifetime.
When we go through difficult seasons we can be tempted to try and change things drastically, hard times can cause us to try and close up and not allow those we lead to see where we are, but often times when the storm comes we need to keep moving forward. Listen as Pastor Natalie Aman from Joy Church challenges us to take one more step closer to what God has planned for our churches & teams.
Pastor Raydeane Owens (Heart of the City Church) shares a powerful message and reminder that no matter what space we're in, we need God. Sometimes we need to learn how to get to know Him in a new place, a new way.
For many of us this has been a year of broken places, but I believe that God is turning that around! God is about to flip the enemies script and turn things around. Pastor David Cannistraci from Gateway City Church shares with us one of the most important principles that he’s learned in life… the power of our words and the power of God’s word!
How do you stay well during times like these? God wants you healthy and he has a way for you to stay healthy. Pastors Bob & Cara Grimm from Life Church in Walla Walla, Washington dive into Psalms 126 and talk about how we can learn to take care of ourselves so we can dream again!
To prepare to go forward we must understand who we are, when we are, and where we are in God’s timeline. Pastor Gilbert Kelly from New City Church shares a prophetic word on the importance of preparation and dependence on God so that we are able to persevere every trial that comes our way.
Leading in the church, ministering to people and making disciples can be rewarding but, at the same time can be draining and lead to spiritual fatigue especially during a pandemic like we are facing today in the world. It’s in moments like these that we can lose sight of doing things with the right heart. Pastor Gilbert Silva shares a powerful message on why we need to make prayer a priority in our lives.
We’ve all been invited to a storm that we didn’t ask for… This is a season to not step back and not to even think in survival terms. It's a season to extend yourself in faith, to see God in a way that you’ve never seen or dreamed before. Pastor David Frech from Church of the Harvest shares a powerful message about walking through the storms of life.
Leadership in the future isn’t about how fun we can be, it's going to be about how we handle the challenges that come our way. But how do we do that? We need to be leaders who are able to teach and instruct biblically, rather than be swung by what the world is telling us. Pastor Bob MacGregor from City Harvest Church shares with us 12 challenges that every leader faces during this season and how we should face them.

God’s heart is to seek and save the lost. God’s command to us is to love him and our neighbors as we love ourselves. But who is our neighbor? 18% of the US population are Spanish speakers, making them the largest ethnic minority in the US. We need to reach and be ready to love our Latino neighbors. We’ve been serving our Latino community by having Spanish services at Mannahouse for the last 15 years. Join us as we share some of our ideas, dreams and stories to pastor the Latino community.

Over the past four decades in the U.S., at least at a popular level, the ground beneath our feet has shifted. Over the past four decades in the U.S., at least at a popular level, the ground underneath our feet has shifted. We’ve moved from a Christianized culture (a mixture of Christian and pagan ideas and then, later, secular ideas) to what social critics call a “post-Christian” culture. Society sees the church as irrelevant at best, and extreme at worst. Your faith can be private, but don’t bring it into the public square. Given today’s cultural background how do you engage and reach people with the Gospel? In this session we’ll explore our current.

Bill Johnson is a fifth-generation pastor with a rich heritage in the Holy Spirit. The present move of God has brought Bill into a deeper understanding of the phrase “on earth as it is in heaven.” Bill and the Bethel Church family have taken on this theme for life and ministry, where healing and miracles are normal. Bill teaches that we owe the world an encounter with God and a gospel without power is not the gospel Jesus preached. Bill is cofounder of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM).
