Not a Crowd to Be Feared, Nor an Audience to Be Entertained, but a Family to Be Loved - Trevor O'Keefe

Expositors Collective

Trevor O’Keefe and Mike Neglia speak about Cillian Murphy’s recent Academy Award and other momentous moments in Irish history. Trevor also shares the wildest story about a debut sermon ever on the history of the podcast! (He nearly killed someone)

Trevor was a youth ministry for more than 17 years in Maranatha Chapel before transitioning in to the Lead Pastor role at Olive Branch Christian Fellowship in Poway, California.

In this stirring conversation they speak about boundaries in ministry, depression, anxiety, and the reality that a church gathering is not a crowd to be feared or an audience to be entertained but a family to love.

They have an extended conversation on the difference between vulnerability and honesty in the pulpit and oversharing and “bleeding all over your people.”
