Summary
Abundance is a word we throw around in church circles — but have you ever stopped to ask, what does abundance look like for me? In this episode of Pastors Thriving , Kevin takes you into Psalm 24:1, John 10:10, and Romans 8:28 to explore how God’s definition of abundance intersects with your personal desires, ministry goals, and family life. Kevin shares his own story of a sabbatical retreat where he defined financial abundance years before it became a reality — and how God honored that definition in unexpected ways. Along the way, you’ll learn: Why abundance demands your definition, not just a dictionary meaning How desire, success, and failure look different for every pastor Why God leaves out the word “how” in Romans 8:28 — and what that means for your trust in Him Practical steps to begin journaling and praying over your personal definition of abundance How resisting what God wants to give can keep you from experiencing fullness If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like: What does abundance look like in my church? Am I allowed to desire more? How can I trust God when I don’t know how? …this episode will encourage you to step into God’s fullness with fresh courage. 👉 Resources & Next Steps: Join the Make More Disciples Challenge to help your church fully engage without burning you out.
