What if your greatest ministry impact came not from working harder—but from being filled first?
In this episode, Heather interviews Kyle about prioritizing our hearts in ministry and missions. Kyle wrote Overflowing: Ministry and Missions That Flow From The Heart after 10 years of journalling on how we must prioritize our heart. God wants worshipers who work, not workers who worship. There is a vast difference between the two. Kyle shares his personal journey, exploring how character, connection with God, and spiritual vitality must come before effectiveness. This honest and hope-filled conversation will resonate with missionaries, ministry leaders, and faith-based workers who want to pursue a life of deep impact rooted in a vibrant relationship with God. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why Kyle wrote Overflowing and the heart journey behind it ✅ The biblical foundation for focusing on “being” before “doing” in ministry ✅ Why focusing on the heart is essential for ministry, leadership, and longevity ✅ Key barriers that block overflow: disobedience, pride, and unbelief ✅ Powerful stories from Kyle’s time ministering in South Africa, including facing fear, danger, and trusting God ✅ What it means to be a spiritual oasis in a dry and thirsty world ✅ Kyle’s top challenge to missionaries: “Prioritize your soul” Whether you’re serving overseas or leading in your local church, this episode is a timely reminder that ministry begins in the heart—and flows outward from there.
