Such a wholesome and pleasant conversation! I couldn’t stop watching! Many things said helped me made connections in my own life and start asking God what I should do next just like Pete and Laura did. Lastly, I’m grateful for leaders who are transparent and humble 💜.

[@OfficialRichWilkersonJr]

Amazing. Glad you watched!!

[@organicprinciples]

SO WONDERFUL! Mature Me indeed! Thanks for honourig this beautilful co😮uple, Hillsong itself (whose worship raised, grew & fed me whilst under Darlene & Joel H). I've walked through many wildernesses as a believer and God has ALWAYS been faithful. I'm praying for the Houston family and for Hillsong as they come through a new season too. And looking forward to all the awesome things I'm sure will come from Parable Church. This is a great podcast - may many believers be grown through this ❤️‍🩹🙏🏿

[@OfficialRichWilkersonJr]

[@kulanivolavola2142]

The word that God says about us and the words we say about ourselves is the most important things. When we are align with the word of God, the word we say about ourselves will be full of positivity, love, joy, compassion, etc, etc

[@OfficialRichWilkersonJr]

That's right! Happy you tuned in today

This Very very very Passionate Godly woman indefinitely keeps her Biblical Political View Stance. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that at all!!! And I’m not backing down on my Biblical Political View . And I’m absolutely on Team God/Jesus always:) And that will never ever change!!!:)And I’m not into putting Pastors on very very high Pedestals @Rich WilkersonJr

Wait what, did I hear Rich say America was the Mother Country of Australia? Yeah nah not too sure about that one. Love Laurzy and Pete, they are good quality people who have nurtured and encouraged so many people.

Invite Carl Lentz - that would be fun

[@userone3802]

Hillsong church and the like, are the most toxic environments where I would never want my kids to go. They could take a lesson from Carl, at least he is real and working hard in his recovery. Hillsong has a lot of blood on their hands.

[@taniahurtado1254]

Great episode!

[@joshua852009]

I remember Pete saying he was going to marry Laura before they started dating, and it feels like only a few years ago.

[@Vin-og2dj]

@1:13:41 when Toggs talks about shying away from feeling prosperous. I have also really struggled in this area. I got the shock of my life when in my quiet time God showed me in my heart that I was treating my tithe like a transaction. If I do *abc* God WILL do *xyz* In my crazy human thinking I was again putting God in a box again... Why is it that I struggle so much with the point that Tithing is revealing the state of my true hearts posture? Why do I think that just cos I tithe I think that God is going to give me that job I want just because I decided to give up a couple of hundred bucks for that pay week?? God owes me nothing! And yet I was expecting him to reward me because I gave him my tithe. Absolutely - God wants to bless me!! But I also believe that God wants to reveal the true nature behind why I was tithing... I think this is an area that I will continue to learn lessons from for the rest of my life...

[@bree.bonnie]

Bring back TOGGSY! Such a good name

[@user-rd5ye5jn9y]

Rich eres uno de los mejores del mundo!

[@OfficialRichWilkersonJr]

Gracias por conectar con nosotros!!

[@melindafletcher1979]

Celebrity culture comes about too easily. People (especially pastors) need to return phone calls and be authentic. Pastor Serge was the best example of a pastor. Someone who really cared about the sheep. But it’s not about decorations, marketing and coffee carts. Time will tell but people need the real Jesus who is represented by the not many wise, not many learned but humble nobodies filled with the power of God. The church / people need real deliverance and equipping not just lovely moments. I’m sad to say this is the current “church” problem. It’s still too celebrity. Congrats on your 4th baby coming. I prayed for often for you guys after colour conference 2015. ❤

[@carolecurley7744]

Congregants need to keep eyes on Jesus and not on who the Pastor is. Our relationship is with Him and as long as my Pastor preaches/ teaches the uncompromised Word, I'm filled with joy, through all seasons. Pastors are human and should not be elevated above that. A great conversation with 3 anointed, chosen of God, humans. Thank you.
