In this enriching episode, we delve into the literary influences that have shaped the ministries of Gary and Jason. Both of them agree with the adage that "leaders are readers." Numerous authors have profoundly impacted their approach to ministry, with a special focus on the late Henry Blackaby, whose works have left an indelible mark on their spiritual leadership.
They explore how reading offers new perspectives and challenges and stretches one's faith and leadership abilities. The recent passing of Henry Blackaby serves as a poignant reminder of the lasting impact that thoughtful, biblically grounded authors can have on individual lives and broader ministry practices.
This episode is both a tribute to the transformative power of such writers and a call to action for listeners to engage more deeply with books that advocate solid biblical principles.
Join us as Gary and Jason discuss how they have translated these teachings into practical actions within their ministries and how listeners can do the same to broaden their impact.
It’s a celebration of legacy and a motivational push toward personal and spiritual growth through the disciplined pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.
