On this episode, Michael McAfee is speaking directly to ministry leaders and pastors who feel stuck in the routine. When the calendar is busy and the vision seems small, it’s easy to forget that God still calls us to dream big, believe for the impossible, and expect miracles. We’ll explore the story in Luke about the woman with the issue of blood—who, through sheer faith, reached out and touched Jesus when everyone else declared her situation was hopeless.

For they shall rejoice.” Michael shares honestly that we don’t have to despise the days of small beginnings...
