Episode 105: When Ministry Doesn't Go According to Plan

Leadership is filled with moments we never expected.

Plans fall apart. People let us down. Opportunities disappear. Prayers seem delayed.

Recently, I had to make one of the toughest decisions I've faced in ministry. Just ten days before departure, our Sparrow Village Initiatives team had to postpone a long-awaited trip to serve 115 orphaned children in Uganda.

Months of preparation. Thousands of dollars raised. Excited volunteers. Children waiting for our arrival.

Then everything changed.

In this episode, I share that story along with five practical and biblical ways to navigate disappointment without losing your purpose.

You'll discover:

• Why disappointment isn't a sign of weak faith.

• How to look for God's goodness in difficult moments.

• Why setbacks should adjust your strategy, not your calling.

• How to keep moving forward after a painful season.
