S10E05 | He Must Increase, I Must Decrease: Evangelist Glen Shank
Evangelist Glen Shank, whom former classmate and host Dr. Matt Davis knows as Shorty, served as a 海角原创 representative for several years and as an assistant pastor for twelve. The Lord used both positions to gradually direct him into his present ministry. When asked his mission, he dedicated a week of intentional reflection, examining his life verse and 鈥渆ncapsulating鈥 it into a comprehensive statement which he shares on the podcast. In reverse order, he and Dr. Davis look ahead at the projected trajectory of churches, revival meetings, and the 鈥渓eaking away鈥 of evangelists as a profession, and then look back at the early days of Shank Family Ministries. They discuss common struggles of evangelists, the necessity of courage and faith, the needs of smaller churches and becoming bi-vocational to assist those churches, and the importance of family and balanced priorities.
