ABOUT THE EPISODE Church growth has been researched, taught and written about for decades. Church health, on the other hand, is a more recent emphasis. Today we’re giving you a sneak peek into a popular Christian Life School of Theology Global course called “Building Churches That Last” taught by Dr. Larry Asplund.

QUOTES & SCRIPTURE TO REMEMBER “The #1 American cultural value is individualism.

ABOUT THE EPISODE According to the Genesis account, God skillfully crafted women and endowed them with a specific expression of His nature. In this episode, learn more about the value of giving women “a seat at the table” and the challenges many of them face in ministry and organizational leadership. TODAY’S GUEST: REV. LAURIE LANGLEY Having more than two decades of experience in leading and developing people and teams, Laurie Langley is passionately committed to the values of integrity and follow-through. From a position of being a lifelong learner, Laurie is recognized as a highly capable communicator, an organization and proficiency professional, and is trained and seasoned in outcome management. In addition to the business skills she has developed over the years, Laurie is passionate about sharing hope, living in peace, and her belief in the power of kindness. She lives in Pensacola, Florida, with her husband, Dr. Randal Langley. QUOTES & SCRIPTURE TO REMEMBER “I believe, ultimately, it takes both a man and a woman to fully represent the nature of God.” — Rev. Laurie Langley “Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.’ So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” — Genesis 1:26-27 “Our own gifts compliment — and are synergistic with — men.” — Rev. Laurie Langley “Jesus was a liberator of women. He set the standard for what He wanted His Kingdom to look like where women are concerned.” — Rev. Laurie Langley “Offense puts me crosswise with the will of God and it makes me toxic.” — Rev. Laurie Langley “Sometimes I’ve interpreted [experiencing a glass ceiling] as ‘I’m a problem.’ But I’m not a problem. According to Genesis, we were created as an answer.” — Rev. Laurie Langley “When Jesus had every opportunity to be offended, He chose to keep His heart soft. That ministers to people: loving others even when they aren’t loving us well. And that can minister to the leadership over us who maybe don’t see the value of having women at the table.” — Jessie Williams “Growth happens in the stretching.” — Jessie Williams “Man’s ‘no’ cannot compete with God’s ‘yes.’” — Rev. Laurie Langley “If you are uniquely gifted in your work, you will rise and be promoted. You won’t be held back— you’ll stand before kings!” — Proverbs 22:29

ABOUT THE EPISODE If you want to see a miracle happen in your life, take a look at Hannah’s example in the book of 1 Samuel. In our last episode, we saw that she prayed with authenticity.

His desire is to help people fulfill their ultimate purpose in life and achieve their God-given dreams. QUOTES & SCRIPTURE TO REMEMBER Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly!” — Luke 18:6-8a “Make sure that God’s voice is the loudest voice in your heart and mind.” — Dr. Randal S.

ABOUT THE EPISODE There’s no secret formula when it comes to prayer, but if you’re looking for a miracle, Hannah gives us a solid example to follow in the book of 1 Samuel. It starts with authenticity, and in today’s episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to cry out to God with all your pain and brokenness, trusting that he can make the impossible possible.
