It Costs NOT to Be the Boss! 🔥 Stop Living in Mediocrity

from APOC Ministry · host Dr. Eric Thomas

🚨 Listen to me—it costs NOT to be the boss! 🚨 Look at David—if he had stayed a shepherd, if he had let fear stop him, if he had let Goliath do all the talking, Israel would have stayed in defeat! But David knew the cost of not stepping up was greater than the cost of facing the giant. When you refuse to lead, when you shrink back, when you let fear run your life, you're not just losing money—you're losing destiny! God called you to be the head and not the tail, above and not beneath (Deut. 28:13)! But if you don't move in faith, you forfeit the blessing. David ran to the battle because he understood: IT COSTS NOT TO BE THE BOSS! And that's exactly where so many of us are—stuck in mediocrity, waiting for someone else to lead, afraid to take control of what God has already promised. 🔥 Are you active in your faith, or are you sitting back, reserved, waiting for the "right time?" 🔥 Are you settling for good enough when God called you to EXCELLENCE? 🔥 It's time to get up, get active, and walk in your purpose! This sermon is a gut check! Stop living in the bare minimum and step into the greatness God has for you. God doesn't do average—neither should you!

Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God. We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance! Now, let’s grow deeper together Word Online: Series 7 - The Transfiguration & the end of the Galilean ministry Word Online There is a dramatic change in the life of Jesus as this point. He takes his disciples away for a private time together which leads to the amazing event of the Transfiguration. This is a turning point. The Galilean ministry is at an end. Jesus is going to leave Galilee and head south towards Jerusalem for the final and much shorter part of his ministry which will lead ultimately to his death and resurrection.
