Closed doors can be painful and challenging. Sometimes they will move a person into deep discouragement or even depression. On today's episode of Lead2Serve, Pastor Ed Taylor and Pastor Bob Claycamp remind us of the importance of knowing that both closed doors and open doors for ministry and life come from God. God uses closed doors (a NO) as much as He uses open doors (a YES) in our lives. You'll hear of a couple of examples in their lives to see God moves us where He wants us.

Let's admit it, submission is a tough subject. It goes against our own selfish ambitions and can be made even more difficult when abuse has been involved or when you are serving alongside bad leaders. Even though there are challenges, we need to learn to be submissive to God while choosing to be submissive to the leadership God has placed in our lives. Without submission, chaos, confusion, and disorder abound. In this episode Pastor Ed and Pastor Bob talk about the importance of submission.

In today's episode, Pastor Ed Taylor and Pastor Bob Claycamp discuss the ongoing challenge of serving well while hurting. Serving can be one of the most painful things a person chooses to do, but will that hurt stop you? It's essential to learn to endure hardships like slander, gossip, betrayal, dishonesty, and a whole host of other challenging scenarios you will encounter.

In this last episode of Season 1, Pastor Ed picks up where we started, looking at the all sufficiency of Jesus Christ in our lives. The pressures upon the leader and servant are so great, that it's easy to succumb to these feelings of inadequacy, inability, and weakness. God's desire is for us to lean into Him, trusting Him with our lives. We are able, not because of our education or experience, but rather because of His grace and empowerment in our lives!

John 14:27 (NLT) “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” The spread of the coronavirus has caused major disruptions, changes, and as one media outlet called it, “forced new realities”. It’s also stirred up new fears, anxieties, and even widespread panic. But one thing has not changed, the sovereignty of God. He is still on the throne. This is the time, this is the year, to arise as a Church scattered to help those in need.  Today I sat in the GRACEfm Radio Network Studios with Pastor Eric Cartier, Sr. Pastor of Rocky Mountain Calvary in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

In Matthew 18, before Jesus gets to His instructions on how to resolve conflict with others, He takes a child and places him in the midst of the adults he's teaching.
