2.7 Raised to Stay w/ Natalie Runion

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0600

Have church leaders hurt you?

Has the hurt you've endured caused you to doubt God?

Many abusive church leaders go unchecked when hurting other pastors and people that they shepherd.

Shawn and Sonny go deep with Natalie Runion into the definition of what church hurt actually is, and how unchecked leaders continue in their position without any correction or confrontation.

ABOUT NATALIE RUNION

Natalie Runion is a pastor, author, and creator of the Raised to Stay Community. The Raised to Stay Community comes together to cheer one another on and run the race hand in hand with great passion and purpose.

Natalie lives in Colorado Springs, CO with her husband Tony and sweet daughters. She is on staff at New Life Church as the Pastor of Women and Creative Pastor of Family Ministry. Her very first book will release in June of 2023 with David C. Cook. In this debut book of the same title as the community, Natalie shares more of her story; the brutal beauty of being raised in the church and 42 years later, still here, holding on to Jesus.

2.6 Are You a Sinner or a Saint?

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0600

We are in an identity crisis... People, leaders, and, yes, pastors! We have forgotten the scope and nature of the saving work of Jesus Christ.

Today we are discussing a spiritual trend: understanding the difference between a sinner and a saint.

"I'm a sinner saved by grace" is the most damaging and distracting self-identification that a person could make or claim about themselves.

9 A Picture of Grace w/ Pastor Maury Davis

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Fri, 06 May 2022 05:00:00 -0600

Maury Davis grew up in some of the most challenging circumstances a young boy should ever have to endure. His early life patterned and shaped a future that would cost Pastor Maury his future and perhaps his life.

The beautiful picture of grace, mercy, redemption, and one faithful man telling the story of Jesus. There's hope and wholeness after the fall and here's one of the best stories you'll ever hear!

ABOUT PASTOR MAURY DAVIS - https://maurydavis.com

In 1991, when Maury and his wife, Gail, answered the call to pioneer a church in Nashville, Tennessee, they arrived in a new state with little other than a call from God, a set of triplets, and an intense work ethic. Rather than pioneering a new start-up church, an unexpected chain of events led to Maury’s election as Senior Pastor of a small, 200-member congregation in the suburbs of the city.

Maury’s unique and personal journey with God has allowed him to experience the full life cycle of a pastor and the deep satisfaction of growing a ministry. His success is a testimony to his belief in and passion for empowering those around him to grow, take ownership, inspire others, and move forward.

Whether through intimate conferences, one-on-one coaching, or consulting relationships, Maury is dedicated to teaching and guiding other ministers to grow their churches. His heart understands that to further the Kingdom, we have to reach people. And that’s what he does, each and every day.

Today, that little 200-member church has grown to over 16,000 congregants that call Cornerstone Church home.

7 Dream Again w/ Pastor Kendall Bridges

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 05:00:00 -0600

Pastors Shawn and Sonny are joined by personal hero and long time friend, Pastor Kendall Bridges to discuss his fall and the freedom that came after five years of healing.

The Kendall Bridges story. Success is a deceiver. If we are not careful, we begin to believe that we have arrived because of who we are and what we have done. And it's true.

When we take the glory that belongs to God alone, the casting down begins, and the fall happens. We have two choices, recognize and repent or rebel and remain.

About Pastor Kendall Bridges

33 years ago, I stood on the platform of Faith Assembly of God Church in Pasadena, Texas, and said two words that changed everything. “I do.”

When I said “I do” to Starla, I was committing to be faithful to the vows that I made to her that day. Unfortunately, I was not always faithful to those vows, and my lack of commitment brought a lot of pain, hurt, betrayal, and grief. But by the grace of God, we have found healing and restoration through Jesus Christ.

I realize more today than I did 33 years ago that when one says, “I do,” it means that we “keep on doing” each day that we live.

Great marriages, great relationships, and great lives are not an accident. They are products of “doing” the right things.

The word of the day is “I do.”

“You have to do the right things to get results.”

Think of what God did for us by sending Jesus as the sacrifice for our sins and keeps on doing for us today by working all things together for good.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God…”

In our restoration process, I committed to Starla that I would do whatever it takes to win her trust back. I’m still committed to doing that and will continue “to do” whatever it takes to be the man of God I need to be the most wonderful woman in the world. I love you, Starla, and “I do” all over again.

6 How To Come Back From a Setback w/ Pastor Lee McFarland

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 05:00:00 -0600

Pastor Shawn sits with long time friend, Pastor Lee McFarland. We never know a person's story until we sit with them and hear their story. Listening to them with compassion, kindness, and understanding.

Whether we are entering, in the middle of, or coming to the end of a fall. None of us are immune from a falling, but, we all have the same opportunity to rise after the fall.

5 The Prequel

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0600

This week Pastor Shawn preaches on how his fall came about and how he found himself at the lowest point in his life. Everyone falls, but our failure doesn't have to be fatal. It's those who who dust off their pants and pick themselves that write the script on their failure instead of it writing the story on its own. Becoming more compassionate and understanding of human failure will not only set us up to be better stewards of success but also better leaders and Jesus-followers.

4 When Those Closest To Me Fall

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0600

Today, we are digging deep on a sensitive topic.

What happens when someone close to you falls? Or when those whom you serve falls?

Disconnection. Disassociation. Denial. How, do we notice, address, and deal appropriately with the situation?

3 The Disgruntled Church

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 06:10:00 -0600

People have a tendency to write off all churches because they've been burned by one. Making sweeping statements about denominations and walking out because they've been hurt by the pastor. As a pastor or leader of an organization, in order to rise after a fall, you need to own the mistake, repent and learn what needs to change to move forward. There is hope in being restored to make an even bigger impact.

2 The Fallout After the Fall

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 05:15:00 -0600

Today, Shawn and Sonny are taking a look at people closest to them who have fallen. It's someone they know personally and influential in their lives.

They will look at the trauma, hurt, and betrayal we all feel when those closest to us have fallen and the fallout that follows. And then, the responsibility we have of listening to our gut and taking action.

And lastly, a big thing that affects churches, businesses, and entrepreneurial endeavors - how to deal with grief.

0 Start Here - What is the Rise after the Fall?

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy — Sat, 15 Jan 2022 06:00:00 -0600

Off the heels of "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" from Christianity Today, Pastors Shawn & Sonny Hennessy cut through the pleasantries and bring an honest look at church culture.

In transparency, they share their own story of fast success which lead to a fall. And after the fall, a process of healing and restoration before returning to ministry again. As a leader in the church - you don’t need to hide behind guilt, shame and run away only to fall into the same patterns. There is a rise after the fall.
