Episode 43: Mike Ainsworth on the Power of a Father’s Prayer, On Fueling the Fire For Ministry, and Choosing Discipleship Over Discipline

December 20, 2024

In this episode, Mike and I discuss his personal testimony and call to vocational ministry. We talk about ministry as a challenging but rewarding call and how that plays out in the life of a pastor or spiritual overseer. We discuss the role of parenting and reflect on what the decades of life and ministry have taught Mike and through him sharing, what it can teach us.

Quotes for Notes:

“You love being a pastor. It is an incredible calling. Yes it is challenging but equally, it is rewarding.”

“I don’t believe God is nearly as interested in growing big churches as He is in growing big believers.”

“…discipline focuses more on behavior and discipleship focuses more on belief.”
