It’s the First Friday of July and Independence Day weekend in the U.S.—and we’re bringing you Part Two of a powerful conversation between Pastor Justin Bridges and Pastor John Bendixen. Following up on Staying the Course, the First Friday episode in June, this episode digs deeper into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways we can derail ourselves from the call of God. Often through doubt, distraction, and unsolicited opinions that sound wise but are actually dubious to the vision God has given you.  For anyone leading in ministry, the marketplace, or at home, this conversation speaks to those moments when God’s direction challenges your natural reasoning. Pastors Justin and John unpack how the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit anchor us when everything else feels uncertain. If you’ve ever wrestled with insecurity, outside voices, or your own inner hesitation, this conversation will strengthen your stance. Lean in and be reminded: Faith isn’t dubious, and neither is God’s call on your life.Connect with us at Heritage of Faith in Crowely TexasConnect with Pastor John Bendiexn at Heritage of Faith South AfricaConnect with Winning Conversations Podcast, and follow us on Instagram: @winningconversationspodcastVia Email: [email protected]

Jessica and Adriain’s journey didn’t start on solid ground. Caught in the grip of addiction and barely surviving, their lives seemed beyond repair. But God had a greater plan.

Now, as a thriving couple deeply rooted in Heritage, their story is a testament to the power of transformation. What was once broken is now a force for the Kingdom.
