“Go First” leaders live on purpose with a purpose. Pastor Jared Herd dives into 2 Thessalonians and teaches on the powerful concept of purposeful vocation. Whether it’s for a paycheck or not, we are called to live with a purpose. Rather than letting life happen to us, let’s live with passion over passivity.

The bible’s message about sex isn’t fear-based, it’s faith-based. Pastor Jared Herd teaches through 1 Corinthians 6 and Paul’s powerful words about sexual wholeness. Rather than robbing from ourselves and living in sexual immorality, God invites us to experience the gift of sex within the context he designed it. Our bodies are sacred temples meant for the Lord, together we can choose wholeness over shame.

To have relational connection in a digital age, we must go first and be friends, not just friendly. Pastor Jared Herd teaches on the powerful friendship between Jonathan and David in 1 Samuel 14 and the power of covenantal friendship. Just as Jesus didn’t do a “cost benefit analysis” on us, we need to go out and give that same kind of love to others.

Burnout results from trying to give what you do not possess. Pastor Jared Herd teaches on Psalm 23 and the power of seeking God’s Kingdom first, each and every day. “Go First” leaders rebel against the frenetic pace of our society and slow down in order to be present for people in their pain. We can’t go deep with others if we haven’t first experienced the depth of God.

Emotionally healthy leaders can have joy not in the absence of problems but in the very presence of them. Pastor Jared Herd teaches through Psalm 77 and the importance of self-leadership within our emotional health. In the midst of our pain we must preach to ourselves the truths of God. When we take the raw materials of our burdens and channel them into the story of God we find peace within our pain.

What formless void is God inviting you to create some order in? Pastor Jared Herd teaches on the power of “Go First” leadership and emulating the ownership and authority God gave to man in Genesis 1. The future belongs to the people who address the problems of the world passionately instead of passively. Rather than saying, “I’ve been meaning to…”, choose to “Go First.”
