In this episode, Andy and Mark talk with Robert Mullins, Lead Pastor of Crossroads Community Church and Director of Passion Tree Ministries.
Quotables
- “One of the pastors there raised his hand… He said, ‘I have been a pastor for thirty years, and I have never been discipled. I’ve never had someone intentionally pour into me.’ Then he looked back at me and said, ‘And what are you going to do about it?’”
- “It was God’s plan to go methodical and slow…all of a sudden you have a tipping point, and five, six, seven years down the road you are in the middle of revitalizing a church. When what you attempted to do was to be obedient to Christ.”
- “I think we have easily between eighty and ninety pastors being discipled in Alabama right now.”
- “Jesus started the Church the way He wants it. Now He wants it the way He started it.” – Ken Adams
- “We just go, go, go, go, go. And the reality is, every single day Christ waiting on us with a cup of coffee. He is waiting on us with a conversation.”
- “If we can be the kind of people to answer the questions, ‘What did you have in your quiet time? What did you have in your time with the Lord today? And, who are you discipling?’ Then we’re going to be living out the intimacy and the challenge that Christ wants us to do in our everyday life.”
