In this episode, Tyler had the opportunity to sit down with his friend and pastor, Brad Evangelista. For the past three years they’ve served as pastors together at CrossPointe Church. Since that time there’s been a pretty typical pattern of local church ministry, until March of 2020. It's likely the circumstances of 2020 have been some of the most consistently difficult and widespread that many of us have faced. And yet, Brad reminds us that God's goodness and faithfulness can be clearly seen and trusted, even—especially—in such a time as this. Join us as we talk about church planting, matters of doctrine and theology, ministry and shepherding during a pandemic, some potential negative effects of "virtual church" and pastoral encouragement to counteract them, and a bit about youth ministry.

Local Church Ministry with Brad Evangelista

Pastor His People - Brad Evangelista, Pastor Cross Pointe Church, Columbus, GA

On today’s episode of Journeywomen, I chatted with my former pastor and friend Brad Evangelista about spiritual disciplines. Ya’ll, I cried twice in this episode! That’s a first for me! Brad and I talked about everything from the goal of practicing the spiritual disciplines to how doing so will flesh itself out differently based on our season of life. Hello, mamas! This quote brought on the waterworks,  “There’s a 25 or maybe 30-year-old mom that may be listening to this and right now one of the fruits that God is building in her life is not feelings of awesomeness, but right now he’s developing in her life spiritual grit. He’s putting calluses, spiritually speaking, on her hands, so that when she is a 55 or 60 year-old-woman 20 or 30 years from now, she’s going to be able to come alongside a young, tired, struggling, frustrated, mom and say, ‘Sister, you’re going to make it,’ and that’s the fruit that God is producing and anchoring and digging deep into a young woman’s life right now. And the thing is, I would say to that sister is just, ‘Hold on, the harvest will come in and through your life of godliness, but it takes time! It takes time.’” I hope that you guys find this conversation as encouraging and grace-filled as I did.   BRAD’S RESOURCES  Spiritual Disciplines by Donald S.
