Love. Live. Lead. (Week 1): Take Heart
Bartimaeus: a blind beggar who refuses to be silenced - in this episode, Dr. Tom Pound and Matt Durst walk through Mark 10:46-52 and unearth practical lessons for individuals and churches trying to live on mission. We use Spring Hills’ mission-love like Jesus, live like Jesus, lead like Jesus—as the lens to explore Bartimaeus’ shameless faith, the crowd’s reaction, and Jesus’ tender leadership. You’ll hear why Jesus stops on the dusty road to Jericho, why Bartimaeus throws off his cloak (and what that cloak represents for you today), and why the question “What do you want me to do for you?” restores dignity and invites surrender. Tom and Matt also connect the story to everyday rhythms-mastering your morning, practicing Sabbath, and keeping a pace that notices interruptions as ministry opportunities. Listen now to be encouraged, challenged, and equipped.
