Today's podcast is Part 1 of a conversation between Jeff and Rob Tarnoviski. Rob is the Lead Pastor at Bethel Fellowship - The Church @ Franklin Mills, Philadelphia, PA. As you listen to this episode, you will likely be reminded of your own call to ministry, and the successes and missteps along the way to where you are today. The purpose of this conversation is to encourage you in your ministry, and remind you that you are not alone in your doubts and failings in your ministry journey. The key is to persevere, to not give up. You must keep moving forward in faith.
Rob's ministry at Bethel has only seen 17 years. To some of you that is a short time, to others, you can't imagine spending 17 years in your church. But those 17 years were lived one day, one week, one month, and one year at a time. You can do the same. It's always too soon to quit, and it's never quite time to give up. If you believe that the Lord brought you to where you are today, continue. Move past your fear. Move in faith instead. Faith in who God is, and who he made you to be.
You can find Rob's church online at www.fmchurch.net and follow him on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pastorrobfm. We hope Part 1 of this conversation is helpful to you. Part 2 comes next week in Episode 39. Your leadership matters. Stay the course! You can subscribe to The 200churches Podcast and leave us a rating by opening iTunes here.

Super blessed to have Pastor Rob as my Pastor! I was one of the un-churched people that walked through the Bethel doors less than a year ago, and it's been an amazing experience ever since. So blessed to have Pastor Rob & Bethel!

I was in my early 60's and a baby Christian (recovering Catholic) when I started at Bethel. Under Pastor Rob's leadership along with Pastor Steve and Pastor Chris I've learned what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ in a community of followers more diverse than I've seen anywhere else. Our small groups and serving teams reflect this diversity. Thank you Pastor Rob for your vision. I'm home. Comments are closed.
