Our Blog Equips You For Ministry

According to Ephesians 4:11 – 12, the main function of church leadership is to equip believers for the work of the ministry.

Equipping others, however, is difficult. Our blog posts address the practical ways that church leaders can build communities of support and encourage other believers to be the hands and feet of Christ in the Church and the larger community.

Discouraged.  It’s how every leader has felt at one point or another when we want to be somewhere we’re not.  Dale navigated his own experiences of disappointment in himself and uncovered key truths about leadership in ministry that can anchor and guide us today.

Churches in America are closing at an alarming rate.

Dale Sellers of 95Network believes this trend is largely due to discouragement among our pastors. Many church leaders begin ministry with dreams of making an eternal impact. But years of striving, stress, and strain have left them feeling defeated, disillusioned, and stalled.

Thankfully, there is hope that ministry can turn around for the discouraged pastor. As a former minister who’s been in the trenches, Dale Sellers reveals that:

  • God is not keeping score
  • It’s impossible to let God down
  • Doing ministry from Jesus, not for Him, is a pastor’s key to a thriving church.

In STALLED, you will discover your sweet spot and realize you are closer to being “there” than you know.

It’s not healthy to compare trauma from one person to another. Trauma is trauma. It doesn’t matter the “source” of your trauma whether it’s from vocational situations or even your upbringing. There’s no benefit in “downplaying” your trauma just because it doesn’t sound as serious as someone else’s.
