Episode 60: Ben Crisp on Viewing Everything Through the Cross, Why Humility Is Where the Kingdom Begins, and What Survives the Fire

In this episode, Ben and I discuss how parenting has shaped his discipleship and leadership journey and his greatest takeaways from the first 6+ years of ministry. We talk about how vision was sparked for Reflection Church to release a prayer and worship album and dive into Ben’s first book and Paul’s understanding of Church leadership in 1 Corinthians. Quotes for Notes:“…this is what I found the most helpful: is that everything has to be viewed through the message of the cross. Every resource, every conference, every podcast. The message of the cross is the lens by which everything is digested, everything is evaluated.”“If we achieve good outcomes but the methods by which we achieve them are unholy and impure, if the motives are unholy and impure, if it is by any other means than the message of the cross, than what we have built and achieved will be burned up at the end of the age.”“Humility is the entry point. It is the first place, the first attribute, beatitude of the Kingdom. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.”Links:Ben’s Book: Strengthening the Church and Its Leaders: https://www.amazon.com/Strengthening-Church-Its-Leaders-CorinthiansHabitations Vol. 1: https://reflection.church/habitation-vol-1Reflection Church: https://reflection.church/
