What does real discipleship look like when the culture is constantly changing and the spotlight often overshadows the sacrifice?
In this heart-level episode of Like Father, Like Son, Mike and PDev expose the difference between platform and purpose, challenging leaders and believers alike to return to what matters most—grace, truth, and genuine relationships.
From the cost of ministry to the gift of friendship, this conversation is raw, redemptive, and refreshingly real. Whether you're in ministry or just trying to live with purpose, this one will resonate.
🔑 Key Moments:🎭 The Stage vs. Ministry – Visibility comes with responsibility—and sacrifice 🧠 The Body Keeps the Score – Leadership stress is real 💔 Pastor Ernie’s Struggles – Real talk on praying for others while battling your own pain 🩸 Bleedership – “If you’re not bleeding, you’re not leading” 🤝 The Value of Friendship – You can survive alone, but you thrive with true friends 💰 Rich in Relationships – Choosing people over possessions 🌱 Why We Keep Going – Legacy, eternity, and leaving something deeper than inheritance
