Waiting on God’s Timing: Lessons from a Small-Town Pastor’s Big Revival

What happens when a church in a town of just 6,500 refuses to play small with God? Pastor Greg of Forward Church in Amory, Mississippi, joins Philip to share how faithful obedience is sparking real transformation among the next generation—including a once-a-year youth night that drew more than 300 students and saw roughly 40 teens give their lives to Christ. From the heartbeat of a thriving, team-led ministry to the conviction that “the good is often the enemy of the best,” Pastor Greg unpacks the principles shaping a healthy, multiplying church. He also introduces his new book, Dear Young Preacher, a timely field guide urging emerging leaders to wait on the Lord’s timing rather than “birth an Ishmael.” You’ll hear candid stories of closed doors, redirected paths, and the freedom that comes when we invest in people over bank accounts, choose collaboration over the one-man show, and “bloom where we’re planted.” If you’re a pastor, volunteer, or believer discerning your next step, this conversation will help you tune your heart to God’s rhythm and lead with wisdom, humility, and courage.
