Key Points from the Podcast
- Dallas Holm shares how he got connected with David Wilkerson and his youth crusades.
- Loyalty and spiritual growth were very important to David Wilkerson.
- Dallas Holm encourages Christians to nurture a hunger for the deep things of God and lay a foundation of God’s word upon which they can build a life of ministry.
- Skill, intellect, and connections cannot sustain a life of ministry, but depth in the Lord and knowledge of God’s word can.
- God is more concerned about getting all of you than you winning the world to God.
- If you want to have a word from the Lord to share with others, you need to dig into his word and seek his presence in prayer.
- Our happiness cannot be based on what we do for God, but on who he is and who we are in him.
- The longer you walk with the Lord, you will see that he moves you into different roles and assignments as the seasons of life pass by.
- In God’s economy, numerical success does not always equal spiritual success.
- If you are older and have walked with the Lord for a while, don’t believe the American cultural lie that says you are no longer of any value.
