How to be Faithful and Fruitful in Ministry with Dr. Charles Stanley | Passion + Purpose Podcast

"Obey God and leave all of the consequences to Him." Dr. Charles Stanley has leveraged his life for Jesus and the Kingdom like few others in the last generations. In this first episode of the Passion + Purpose podcast, Louie and Dr. Stanley talk about what it means to be called to ministry, how to endure, and how to continue to walk in Godliness as a church leader, pastor, and student of the gospel.
Dr. Charles F. Stanley is the founder of In Touch Ministries and Pastor Emeritus of First Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia, where he served more than 50 years. Dr. Stanley's heart's desire is to get the gospel to "as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, as clearly as possible, as irresistibly as possible, through the power of the Holy Spirit to the glory of God."

I asked my mama why I feel sad of Dr Stanley's passing. And her answer gave me comfort. She said to me, you're sad because he (Dr Stanley) was and still is a mentor to you when it comes to your faith.

[@SanctifiedLady]

I was very sad…then I realized he retired 3yrs ago and all his material I’ve been watching was old. I feel his spiritual absence… I’m happy he’s with the Lord finally after a long productive life.

[@lindawalker812]

Just remember what Dr.Stanley always said, absent from the body present with the Lord, that's where he's at right now,with the Lord whom he loved much,I trust he is just fine

Me pasa lo mismo, Aleluya!!!! Que nunca se nos olvide sus grandes enseñanzas, hasta algún día pastor 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ASmith-jn7kf]

Yes. His words showed me the error of my ways that led me to believe the Holy Spirit speaks to us still and led me to a 40 day fast that led to my house of sand being torn down and true faith established. He was and still is a mentor to me so I have shared many tears and every time I think of it, when I think I can't cry anymore, I start again. God has used and continues to use his ministry so much in my life, in my faith. I just hope he's never erased.

Watching this on the night Dr Stanley went to be with Jesus. 😢 Shared this on my wall with his image. I will miss you and God bless you for this interview. 🫶🏾 😢Oh no! What a sad sad day this has become. God used his sermons at a very difficult time in my life to comfort, encourage and finally bring me to the saving knowledge of Christ. 😢I still listen to his sermons every Sunday when having breakfast and read his daily devotions. This man of God taught me to OBEY GOD AND LEAVE ALL THE CONSEQUENCES TO HIM. 🫂I know Dr. Stanley is now with Jesus but I am sad he is no longer with us. I look forward to seeing him in Heaven and say thank you, thank you for teaching me THE TRUTH. Oh this world has lost a preaching titan of our generation whilst Heaven has gained another saint. 😢Rest in Peace Dr.Stanley, I will never forget you, until we meet again.

Thank Our Heavenly Papa for Dr. Stanley, his Faithful journey with You and his teachings. And I just remember a summer day in Abu Dhabi offices club, (may be in 2014) participating in Chris Tomlin worship and especially listening to Louie Giglio's Sermon about Laminin and singing together as "the whole creation worshipping God, with sounds from the stars in the sky, dolphins in the ocean and of course with wonderful human voices..." It gave me goosebumps and that day we felt the Word of God moving through the silence of night and filling that Islamic nation with His Spirit... Who knows how many were touched by His Word that night... One has to experience to feel it in DNA... It, still gives me chills, how awesome was that!!! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
