S4 EP12 featuring Aaron Hlavin: Keeping Our Attention on Jesus

Welcome to the L3 Podcast! We hope this podcast will be helpful to both you and your ministry.Today, we are joined once again by Pastor Aaron Hlavin to explore the second crucial element in maintaining our focus and overcoming the things that make us angry in ministry: Keeping our attention on Jesus. In the midst of the demands, pressures, and constant activity of pastoral leadership, it is alarmingly easy to let the work for the Lord slowly replace our relationship with the Lord. Pastors Aaron and Jim discuss why this shift in focus is one of the most dangerous and subtle traps for a minister. They unpack how the very things meant to be expressions of our faith like preaching, planning, and leading can quietly become the focus of our identity and attention. If you’ve ever found yourself more consumed by the logistics of church than the presence of Christ, or more frustrated by the people you are leading than fulfilled by the one you are serving, this episode will challenge and encourage you to re-center your heart on Jesus.For more information on the Michigan Ministry Network, please go to our website at mmn.ag.
