Made to Advance with Brian Aulick

Noah Herrin, lead pastor of Way Church in Nashville, joins Brian to tell the story of his path from prodigal pastor’s kid to church planter, and what three years of explosive growth have taught him about hearing from God. Then they dig into his book Welcome to Manhood — chasing the right goals, why so many men play it safe, the danger of a critical spirit, and the simple 60-second prayer habit that changed his prayer life.Links & Episode Notes Noah Herrin, lead pastor of Way Church in Nashville, Tennessee Welcome to Manhood: Moving from Potential to Purpose by Noah Herrin Billy Graham, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association “The Man in the Arena” by Theodore Roosevelt Scripture References John 4 John 14:12 Hebrews 11 “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” — Theodore Roosevelt, “Citizenship in a Republic,” April 23, 1910Made to Advance is a production of Engedi Church and is hosted by Brian Aulick.
