E-Lead - Stan Gleason

good evening and welcome to our broadcast I'm so glad that you have joined us this night and I just encourage you to gather your family around and let's have a great conversation this week we've been talking about leadership and really how that plays into this season that we're in what it means to be able to be good leaders be good leaders in our home leaders with our family on our jobs be leaders as Christians as churches and we've had some great guests and we're so thankful and tonight you're going to really enjoy our special guests we're so happy to have with us tonight Pastor Stan Gleason pastor Gleason pastors the Life Church in Kansas City Missouri where he's pastored since 1988 and pastor Gleason has also been very involved in the United Pentecostal church international as a leader he serves as the assistant general superintendent for the western district he's been the district superintendent of the Missouri district as well as being on the boards of ocean college and issue at Ocean Graduate School of Theology and he's been very instrumental in helping us as an organization focus on really what it means to get back to discipleship so we're very happy to welcome Reverend Stan Gleeson brother Gleeson it's great to have you and we trust that you and your family and your staff and and your church and everyone is doing well thank you Pastor Meyer it's a joy honor and a privilege to be on this broadcast to get to speak with you and your audience and yes we are well all as well by the grace of God and we're so thankful a man so thankful that you're doing well what an amazing church you Pastor there in Kansas City and the influence of that church and your ministry has has really been worldwide and we're so appreciative of you and your staff in your church and and we're very thankful for you to take this time and to allow us to just pick your brain a little bit and and to just see what all the Lord has been talking to you about in terms of managing this pandemic all of us as pastors are trying to figure out a way to stay connected with our congregations and stay creative and how we're able to communicate and let me just start out by asking you tonight you know when you look at this pandemic that we are facing where do you think the church fits into all of this do you feel like God has positioned us as a church for such a time as this or do you feel like that we just have to manage something that's come upon us how much do you feel like the Lord was a part of what we're facing now that's a great question and I think every pastor and leader is grappling with that my opinion is that God can and perhaps is using this pandemic to position the church and get it to where it really needs to be and here's my thought about this you know the Bible says in Genesis 49 that Joseph was a fruitful vine whose branches had grown over the wall mm-hmm and if we see the church in the context of a date a time in a place you know so many times we talk about the church you know like it's an address right but but the church is a living breathing organism and when we consider the fact that the first century church had no building they had no dedicated worship center even the temple the Bible says daling the temple in every house that they did not have domain of the temple the best perhaps the early church could do was gather in a corner somewhere but their most effective gathering was in many various homes and so we're back to that and I hope that the church has taken advantage of this opportunity to bring Christ he word his presence a discipleship model back into the home the most important disciples will ever make our children and so this is a great opportunity to lead our families and hopefully along the way impact the community where we live pastor you have been very influential in and really helping us all of us and our churches with shifting our thinking in fact I think you wrote a book about that called disciples shift if I'm not mistaken and and you really have helped us to to readjust our paradigms and to really look at how we can be more effective with discipleship making when we talk about how to shift our thinking with discipleship how do you see that fitting with this time that we're in because we've had to shift the way that we have Church we've had to shift the way that we connect with our congregation and in terms of discipleship per se have we reached a time where we have to maybe shift our thinking in terms of how we do personal evangelism and discipleship well you know the good news I think is that we're out of the building and for the last seven or eight years I've been trying to kick our people out of the building and I've been my mantras been it's more important what happens Monday through Saturday than what happens on Sunday if we're doing what we're supposed to be doing Monday through Saturday and doing what Jesus said you know Jesus said go make disciples of all nations which literally the literal rendering is as you go as you go in your daily walk your daily thinking your daily process have a discipleship making mentality the church has not lived here since the first century perhaps you know we go to church and when we're at church we do Church stuff and then when we leave church we don't do Church stuff we do business we do family we do you know recreation we do entertainment and we've not good job about what Jesus told us to do and that is to be intentional with our lives and to have a disciple making mentality everywhere we go you know it's interesting of course we're in you know shelter-in-place at least here in Missouri we are so you know you can't go to restaurants you can't you know go hang out with people we trying to be very careful about that so it's not an ideal disciple-making posture that we're in right now but the good news is is we're out of the building and we're having to think about being Church and doing Church in our homes which that's a very positive thing I know it's been an awkward adjustment for some parents in fact we could go Sunday we we live-streamed our service about dedicating our houses dedicating our houses our homes right and you know I heard comments fact you know it was a little bit awkward for some parents and and I thought why should that be awkward right why shouldn't that be natural and so you know but anyway I thought about this pastor art Hodges in Southern California his father-in-law passed away a couple years ago and he was a pastor of a his work there in SoCal and they said at his funeral there were twelve families that were at his funeral that he met at a doughnut shop because every morning at the same time he would go to the doughnut shop because he loved doughnuts well maybe he did but he was going there to meet the same people to build relationships which eventually turned into Bible studies which eventually turned into disciple-making which eventually turned into rooted and grounded members of an Apostolic Church and you know I just that's just a one small glimpse of what Jesus wanted us to do you know if he's gonna be at the doughnut shop why not make disciples yeah that's a great point you know one of the one of the interesting aspects of this season that we're in is that we're supposed to be doing social distancing and I think for the most part everybody is and yet it seems like in some ways we're more connected than we ever were we're more connected with our community we're more connected with friends and relatives and of course we're having to learn how to harness the Internet and you know technology and all these other venues that we have but you feel like in some ways whenever a country faces an enemy and opposition that's common to all of us that in in some ways it allows us to come together in our human in our humanity and open up opportunities for us like you said to be able to share with one another and and to use that time to disciple someone else or to witness to someone else yes I think that's exactly what's going on we're having more exposure now than we ever have there's probably been more Bible and gospel message preached and taught in the last six weeks than any time in human history you know it's interesting in 2015 the Kansas City Royals won the world's abuse and in 2020 the Kansas City Chiefs won the Superbowl and what I noticed is the week leading up to during that event or at the you know the end result of that was our community because we had a common let's say champion okay the city was kinder gentler seriously in traffic in public you know opening doors smiling being gentle giving others the right-of-way I mean it was clearly obvious that the mood of the whole community had changed and I think we're seeing this on a national level now of course I haven't traveled all of our everybody's travel has been shut down right but I think now we don't have a common champion but we have a common enemy and I think you're right I think the community has pulled together and I typically run through Starbucks you know every morning I'm not way to the office and I've still been going to the office because I want to stay married to my wife and it's just really hard just trying to save my marriage happy for me to go to the office I think today and and so we do have a skeleton you know crew very small crew just two or three here at the office every day and so I'm going through Starbucks and I've even noticed it they're just you know happy and joyful and accommodating and in fact the other day the lady said can I get you anything else I said just a few kind words and so a couple days later I pulled through and the lady said can I get you anything else I said just a few kind words she said oh we know who you are you're staying the man you're staying the man and so it's been at that part of it the connections have been fun yeah has it resulted in any massive you know out point of the spirit or conversion not yet but I think tremendous seeds are being sown if we are you know on the job and being mindful yeah you know it seems like this is a real season for us as a church to really be introspective all of us in our homes and and in our families and relationships with with each other our children and you know I wonder really what your thought is about this I wonder if this is not a great season for the church to really look at our own spiritual maturity and to see whether or not we do have relationship with God because so many times you can have a connection with a church building you can have connection with other people on a social level but really this has forced us to look at what is our relationship with the Lord like on a day-to-day basis do you think that this is kind of an opportunity or a season for for people to really examine their own faith and their own Christianity and determine the depth of it in the midst of this crisis yeah I think that's a great question and I've given this a little bit of thought and have even communicated to our congregation about this know early on I think our first hour last Sunday to worship in the building was March 15 I know others were the week prior to that and so that next Sunday you know I said to our congregation look you know we don't know how long this is gonna last but if it lasts 30 days or 60 days or 90 days or 120 days you know if if we're gonna lose out with God in 30 days or 60 days because we like you said because we have a relationship with a building and not with God you know what is that telling us about ourselves and and so I think what's happening is the mature committed believers are are sort of celebrating their strength and their courage in the face of opposition and just like the early church when persecution came this is not persecution but when persecution came to them the church accelerated exponentially the church expanded exponentially Acts chapter 8 verse 4 says and they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word and and so I think that this is a time for families to gather to come together to do a better job of deciding to do a better job of communicating connecting every week I have a zoom meeting that's called coffee with the pastor and so anybody from the church that wants to jump on they can jump on and it's Thursday mornings at nine o'clock and we have a sweet single mother who's a foster mother and she has about five children in her house different ages and various ethnicities which is incidental but she she jumped on there and we were talking about challenges and she typically drives several couple hundred miles a day in her work she works with clients and so on and she said you know I've been letting my kids stay up till 3:00 a.m. playing games they like they'll sleep in till noon so I said oh we don't even want to go there we don't even want to think about what that that looks like right now what she's just trying to survive you know and end up but you know what we had a drive-thru prayer and blessing she came through with those kids on Sunday just drove through our staff was there we stretched her hands out we blessed her we prayed for her she's doing a good job of managing her home and managing the spiritual vitality of her children and yeah they're staying up till 3 o'clock she's getting the work done and keeping her sanity so we're all trying to you know figure ways to connect and her stay in relationship and I think this is a great time for parents you know to have family altar have family altar that's a lost art I grew up in a home where there was family altar every Saturday morning and I tried to do the same with my family and so this is a really opportune time to to sort of rediscover that hey man that's so good so good pastor you know I was thinking as you were talking about the great opportunities that are in front of us during this season what do you think is the greatest danger for the church during this time well I think probably the greatest danger is to lose connection we have to be more intentional maybe than we ever have before we don't get that obligatory you know people show up once or twice or three times a week for scheduled services I think the danger is that we lose connection that we lose continuity that we lose morale that people will fall through the cracks and I think as pastors as church leaders and members of our congregations we have we have a responsibility and an obligation to watch out for each other and to make sure that nothing is lost you know the Bible says Paul wrote I think it's in 2nd Corinthians chapter 2 maybe verse 13 or somewhere close to there he said I had no rest in my spirit because I could not find Titus my brother Wow and so I think the church has to ask themselves the question right now who's responsible who is their brother's keeper is it the pastor did the pastoral staff you know we tried to do several several layers of connecting at the Life Church of course the live stream like everybody but I've asked one of our staff members to formulate a phone committee where everybody in our congregation gets a phone call I don't want anybody coming back to the Life Church saying nobody called nobody checked on me so that's one small thing we're doing of course we maintain several small groups through zoom and I'm so thankful for that coronavirus version of the Bible that says forsake not the zooming of yourselves together as I haven't got that addition yet yeah it's there I just read it the other day and so we've been zooming our small group disciple-making groups we call them acts 29 they're connecting I've asked every member of our congregation to connect with 10 people every day either on social media make phone calls send emails and hopefully we can network and just stay in touch a week ago Saturday I spent four hours on my phone texting I sent 100 text messages I didn't cut and paste I just sent 100 personal text messages to people that I haven't been able to touch since in a while Wow and the comments were favorable in fact one couple that we hadn't seen in four months they came to the drive-through on Sunday Wow and they told us they've been watching the streaming since I did that the last two Sundays they said we've been watching Keenan and so I think this is a way to be more intentional about not allowing people to fall through the cracks so I think that's a potential blind spot and a pitfall if we just you know expect you know everybody to show back up I don't think that's gonna happen I think the church is gonna look different when we get back and I don't know what the differences are but let's do what we can to connect in the meantime do you feel like there's a danger I've heard some pastors say that their concern people get out of the habit of going to church and certainly going to church is is is something that's a discipline and something that should be a part of our routine and is but do you feel like there's some danger that people could good people not necessarily people that are back slip but just they just get out of the habit of going to church and and it may be difficult for them to get back into that discipline do you think that there's a potential problem there perhaps there may be and I don't know how else to couch my terms but to say I think that temptation is more in the let's say the peripheral or the fringe got your people that are not committed just real solid you know core people that you can build a congregation on I think those people people that you can build a congregation they're chomping at the bit to be back to the house of mine now we I don't know what you did pastor Meyer but we were did not have a streaming presence we had an online presence but not a streaming presence prior to Coba 19 but we have committed that yes we are going to continue a streaming presence we're making investments and we're trying to get better every week we're trying to get up to speed and I think we're making improvements every week you know to continue this presence so I suppose you know the temptation is there for some people well we'll just you know not make it today we'll go online but here in Missouri we have bad weather so this will be a bonus for us that people who live we have people that drive up to two hours to get to our church and several drive an hour and a half and we are a Metro Church in an area of two and a half million so I would say the average commute is 20 to 30 minutes to our congregation so the live stream will help us particularly for shut-ins and for bad weather days we get ice we get snow once in a while we get a tornado which they're saying may happen tonight we don't deal with the Hurricanes like you folks in Florida so name your poison but anyway I think you know I'm not worried about that because I think and I'm sure you feel this way about your congregation we have something good to offer that you can't really get at home it's the next best thing but it's not the same and I think if you have something good to offer that I'm not honestly that really hasn't crossed my mind I'm not worried about that the church is going to come back eventually it's going to come back stronger it's going to come back better it's going to come back healthier it's going to come back greater I truly believe that I do too I do too pastor you're right you know we've heard all these terms during this pandemic flattening the curve and social distancing and and now we're we're being told about gating and how you know we're like a bunch of horses I guess in the gate getting ready to run the Kentucky Derby and everybody's you know getting position if we stay on this this downward trend of minimizing the you know contagious nature of this virus that we could start to slowly assemble ourselves together again we've heard all these different terms and and now this term we're hearing a lot about is what they call the new normal you know how things it's going to be awhile for us to ever get back to the way that it was but maybe we don't necessarily want to go back to the way that it was what do you think will be the new normal for us as a church well I think every pastor is thinking about that and we're praying about that and I've mentioned to our church several times that this pandemic is too expensive for us to go back to where we were when we exited the house and we don't know what the culture is gonna look like we don't know what society's gonna look like you know we all remember 9/11 and I remember the president George Bush he said you know thing you know we're changed forever and I didn't like that you know I still don't like it every time I have to you know go through the TSA at the airport right you know I I'm aggravated because 19 men stole from us our liberties you know our freedoms and our conveniences and and I am thankful for everything our country is doing to protect our travel and so this is going to be another new normal and you know we don't know what medical community is gonna look like we don't know what testing is gonna look like we don't know if we're gonna have to wear masks in hospitals we don't know if we're ever gonna shake hands again brother Meyer in our congregations you know are we gonna you know are we just gonna you know give the holy elbow or are we gonna you know do the Asian nod or you know what the bow you know what what are we gonna do even you know a slow phase back in the whole social distancing I anticipate the elderly of our congregations to be much more reticent to return than perhaps others and I would not blame them yeah and I know some pastors are even considering an extra special service just for the elderly where they can pack practice strict social distancing and perhaps craft a service you know particularly for them yeah I don't know what that new normal is going to look like but I hope okay so let me just give a bird's-eye view I really feel that what's going on here is that this world has realized more than ever before how small of a community the world is and we have a common enemy and we see where people are willing to surrender personal freedoms in the name of survival right and this will be the dominant spirit and attitude of the tribulation now I personally don't feel the church is going to be here in the tribulation but we feel a prevailing wind of the tribulation and I think the Antichrist is taking notes I think the Antichrist is alive and he's watching you know there's a lot of talk now about this you know chip that people can have to scan for medical things and you know we've got a gentleman in our congregation who's involved with the government and you know there's talk about you know we're gonna every time we go into a public building now we're gonna be scanned for viruses and you know we better just get used to right now there are going to be changes and but as the church we have to be mobilized more than ever before and we have to realize if nothing else that Jesus is coming soon and I think this is a a great a great message to us in the spend more trouble is coming more trouble is coming but we as the church hopefully through this have have you know found our own learning curve and that we're going to be better for it you know pastor we've been hearing great reports I know you've seen it your church we've seen it in our church where you know people are just driving down the street and they see there's a few cars in the parking lot they come in they're coming off the street getting baptized people are getting baptized in swimming pools people are receiving the Holy Ghost and healings and their home and it's really like time whenever people that maybe are unchurched are very open to the gospel and open to the opportunity to examine their own lives you mentioned 9/11 and you know they always tell us that the Sunday after 9/11 there were more people in church in America than any other Sunday in in the history of our nation but then we also hear that two weeks later it went back down and really that's probably a verdict on all of us in our churches last night we were talking to pastor Woodward and he was talking about how his church was slammed during the Gulf War and then how that that changed a few weeks later when we look at what we're facing right now do you anticipate that this is a great opportunity for the church to not just seize the moment but somehow put systems in place that will help us to be able to capitalize on the hunger that's in this world beyond just this pandemic but something that can be a part of who we are going forward for for many months and and if so how can we best do that you know Jesus said father I pray not that you would take them out of the world but that she would keep them from evil so Jesus in his priestly prayer in John 17 demonstrated or at least expressed in his prayer the tension that exists with a church a Bride of Christ in this world that is not of the world but neither can we say that we're we may be insulated by the blood and the name and the word and the power but we are not isolated we are in this world and the culture does have an effect yes I don't care how good of a leader you are I don't care how good of a preacher how holy you are how straight you preach it if you think your church is not affected by this world in the culture and then you've got your head in the sand okay so that may be a negative application the positive is is that sometimes the culture drives the church to where it needs to go to where it needs to be now if I could bottle the urgency and the fear you know not all fear is bad right you know the bad fear the Bible says that you know perfect love casts that bad fear out but the Bible says great fear came on the early church I believe this was in the wake of Ananias and Sapphira as destruction because they lied to the Holy Ghost and if I was in a church service and to Pete to people that everybody thought was good and upstanding were struck down a husband and a wife within three hours of each other you know first of all I'd be afraid that service is never end that's a three hour service what great fear yeah name on the church and then shortly after it and I'm sorry I don't have the exact reference but it says that fear was followed by great grace rigorous and when great fear comes on the church God also visits that church with great grace and this pandemic has driven us out of our buildings and that's where we need to be that's where we need to be doing our best work that's where we need to be making our greatest sacrifices that's where we need to be doing our best to cycling for too long too much ministry has happened at a building and not happening where it needs to happen in I research this I resonated the Gospels years ago and Jesus did more miracles outside the synagogue in the temple than he ever did inside in fact many of his miracles happened down at the lake Wow and oh I'd like to spend more time at the lake and and to be more like Jesus in that regard right and so yes the church cannot resist we cannot exempt ourselves from what's going on in the culture in the world and in this case I see it as a good thing I don't see the pandemic as a negative only in the sense of the lives that it's taken right and only in the sense of the health that it's compromised for our for our people in people of the world in general but anyway this is a big topic and yes a great question but that's that's where I you know that's how I feel about it absolutely that's so good you know you mentioned earlier about Joseph and the vine on the other side of the wall do you see part of our responsibility as a church and not just staying connected to our members but also in serving our community well this would be a case-by-case basis you know as a pastor right now I can't encourage our people to go in soup lines you know and and food lines I guess you know if they have gloves and masks but you know that would be a very individual situation I'm not going to mandate that as a pastor because I don't want people to feel guilty if they don't have a comfort level you know of reemerged reemerging back into the community so I think the way that we serve our community and I know about your neighborhood but my neighborhood I have connected with more neighbors and talked with more neighbors and seen people I've never seen before than ever before right I've been trying to take some prayer walks around our neighborhood I think that's one thing that Apostolic people can do to put prayer on location it's a proven fact that when prayer goes on location that things change the atmosphere changes people's hearts are more open to the gospel so we can see this as a sowing time you know the Bible says he that goeth forth let's say we went forth from our churches weeping in a sense lamenting that we can't come back to our church but if we're bearing precious seed and if we're sowing that seed maybe through Xoom connect groups and Bible studies we just had a lady testifying to me I shared it Sunday her neighbor the mother of small children was despondent she'd lost her job she was dealing with self-destructive thoughts and so this lady from our church got her mother is in Mississippi on FaceTime and she carried her mother on her iPhone over to this woman's church and we had just anointed our houses with oil and we prayed dedications prayers over church so she took a prayer of dedication to her neighbor's house she anointed the door her mother's with her in the FaceTime her mother is a radical intercessor she's speaking in tongues she's taken authority she's casting out Devils and I'm telling you something happened in that house because two days later that woman called this lady in our church I said you're not gonna believe this she said I feel so good God has blessed me I just got a call from a hospital 10 minutes away they've hired me I'm starting May 11th and she said depression is gone self destructed thoughts are gone so this lady in our church called her mother back to celebrate her mother's a tambourine worship her like Miriam you know on the other side of the road she started speaking in tongues and shouting and you know this is perhaps for some a small victory yeah but for this woman in our congregation this is a thrilling time that she's connected with her neighbor in a way she would have never had the opportunity to do so in the past Wow so yes we can't take advantage of this and you know every community is different we have to be wise but if God opens the door let's walk through it absolutely you know we were talking the other day too general superintendent brother Bernard and we were talking about leadership and he talked about the importance of vision and I just I know we're up against the clock but I just wanted to ask you Pastor when you look forward 12 months where do you see the church in America 12 months from now Wow if I knew the answer to that you know by the way you mentioned brother Bernard and we thank God for his leadership he is the right man to lead us and is doing I think a great job in a very difficult time with the organization I mean you know what can we do in fact he's had the executive committee have Xoom meetings with district superintendents in small groups just to connect just to see if there are any needs to see what we can do and I've met lift I think maybe 20 district superintendents the last 3-4 days Wow and a very common theme is running through all of these meetings and that is God is on the throne you know God is in the middle of us in fact I come across a scripture it's in Habakkuk chapter 3 I think it's verses five and six and somebody said where is God in all of this well the Bible says in Habakkuk three that pep is before him and the plague is behind him so God is in the middle of this pandemic and you know what's the church gonna look like in 12 months pandemic or no pandemic it's gonna be greater yes it's gonna be more mighty you know what's happened as people are praying people are fasting that people are feeling more responsible to their community we're we're alarmed about people dying and people getting sick and of course people have been healed and some have not been healed but if we can take the disciplines perhaps that we've learned during this time and take them into a post pandemic society you know brother Meyer I'm not a prophet but we're gonna be back here we're gonna be back here maybe greater or less than but it's you know from here on until Jesus comes we know there's seven Jets 21 judgments that are coming during the tribulation and half the world's population is going to die this is that this is a practice this is a trial run for the world and it's a strong message to the church you don't have much time you know the first century church greeted each other not with praise the Lord brother but with Maranatha behold he's coming and we need to recapture the eminences the urgency of the return of Jesus Christ and if we can capture that 12 months from now if we're still here we should be a mighty revival force with the power of God working among us and in US and through us and if we could just get better I mean think about this you know I told our church a couple weeks ago you know we can take Church home but we don't want you bringing home to the church you don't what you're walking into Church you know with a bologna sandwich in your mouth and your slippers in your pajamas you know we don't want that but we want Church at home and if we will have Church at home guess what church will be better at church right if we would be prayerful and godly and righteous and having moves of God and miracles and baptizing and praying people through at home then when we come back and if we can sustain that we'll be unlike any church has ever been in any century at any time Wow faster if someone's watching tonight they're not a believer but they have some interest they recognize that things are different now than they've ever been what would be your message to them well my message to you if you have never developed a relationship with Jesus Christ is to know this he is the friend that stays closer than a brother we can all I think relate to that in some way and so my message to you or to anyone that you know in this time is that God loves us he cares for us he is there with us the greatest trial that any man alive on this earth ever went through with his job and job said I looked to the right I couldn't find him I look to the left I looked in front of me behind me I couldn't find God and I want you to know if you can't find him he can find you because job then said but he knows the way that I take because my feet have not strayed from his path and so my advice is to get your feet on a path toward Jesus Christ and the first step toward him is to repent just to turn from sin and to ask God to forgive you of your sin my my second piece of advice is to find a pastor pastor Meyer would there would be none better than him if you're in his area to ask him to baptize you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and to begin your journey with Jesus Christ and the great Apostle Peter said if you will take these two steps God will be faithful to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and when you receive the Holy Spirit you essentially are receiving the Spirit of Jesus Christ because in John 14 he told the disciples I'm with you but I shall be in you and so that is my prayer that you will obey the gospel of Jesus Christ and be saved today if not today then soon and become a believer and enter into relationship with Jesus Christ and then find a local congregation with a godly man that is leading that congregation yes and develop a relationship with the body of Christ amen thank you so much pastor this has been so rich I just asked would you pray over us as we close tonight amen Lord Jesus I thank you for every listener every viewer of this broadcast I pray that grace will come and will be multiplied to every one of us Lord I pray the priestly blessing upon
