Free Refills PodcastEpisode 026 || Discipleship, Engagement, Formation // The DEFs of Ministry - Mike HickersonSecondary discipleship is the reality of people discipling people after they have been discipled. When we get down to it, it's simply discipleship as it was intended. Our returning guest today, Mike Hickerson, has made an effort at applying this within his church community and helping other churches implement it into their culture.

2020-08-2859 minFree Refills PodcastEpisode 023 || Reimagining Momentum - Mike HickersonMomentum is what many of us strive to find in ministry. It proves we are moving towards our goal. COVID paused our momentum. It's time now that we redefine momentum as life has changed drastically from what we have known. As leaders, it is on us to define the metrics we rate in order to find patterns and goals to progress. We all want it. We have an opportunity to reimagine momentum.
