Yeah, I'm

kind of going back maybe a little bit before that.

Listen to Charlie speak.

When I moved to Miami at 14, was serving the Lord, loved the Lord.

In fact, when I go back to my junior high days, I was always very sensitive to the voice of God, very sensitive to the Holy Spirit, always had dreams and visions of ministering.

I don't know if I understood what type of context that would be.

Am I going to be a local church pastor? But I always felt a strong conviction and a call to minister and to preach the gospel.

Yeah.

I love Paul, and right here in Acts chapter 20, he says something that's interesting.

He says, I consider my life worth nothing.

Can we just stop? That's a little bit concerning.

That's a little bit crazy.

Is Paul okay? Is Paul hating his life? Is Paul having a bad day? Is Paul suicidal? What is up with this type of phrase, I consider my life worth nothing? Here's what you have to understand about Paul.

It's only concerning when you don't know the context.

[audience applauds] I'm worshiping, I'm reminded how the scripture says, "He inhabits the praises of His people." Yes.

[audience applauds] Notice what it doesn't say.

It doesn't say, "He inhabits the complaints of His people." [laughs] It doesn't say, "He inhabits the fears of His people." Yeah.

He doesn't inhabit the worries of His people.

Enjoy the message.

How good it is to be in God's house today.

Anybody thankful to be in the Lord's house on this Sunday morning? Clap your hands.

I want to welcome you to church.

Right here, I'm at the Ballanton campus, but all of our friends on the EFAM and really all over the world, all of our locations, we're so grateful that you're tuning in.

And I'm just thinking about the psalmist as he says, oh, I want to magnify the Lord.

Let us exalt his holy name.

What do you find is the hardest – I don't know, thing as a church leader that you're dealing with in ministry right now?

I think probably what we're dealing with is what I sense lots of leaders in and out of the church.

We can make some specific things about challenges in the church.

But I think the first challenge just with leaders that people are experiencing is I love Gen Z. I love the new generation coming up.

They're really cause oriented.

They really want to make a great impact in the world.

I think in the church, they really crave authenticity.

We're waiting until we're not waiting anymore.
