Episode notes
Early Ministry Wake-Up Call
- Mark Jobe recounts getting sick three months into pastoring and realizing he had been playing the role of Messiah.
- He repented after the Spirit convicted him that he was a steward, not the one in control.
The Insanity Cycle Defined
- Daniel 4 exposes an "insanity cycle" where leaders claim credit that belongs to God.

- Renounce sins and do what is right, especially toward the oppressed, to avert judgment.
- Accept the season of grace as a limited window to repent before discipline arrives.
