Eric Mason reminds each of us to be quick to listen and repent.

The health of your ministry depends on you dealing with you.

Your ministry is as only as healthy as your repentance.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgamut, author of Lives Women Believe for Thursday, January 19, 2017.

Those of us who are involved in speaking and leading others regularly need some times when we can pull back, be refreshed ourselves, and make sure that our own lives match the things that we're teaching.

And that's why every other year, Revive Our Hearts hosts a conference for women's ministry leaders or those who would like to be involved

in women's ministry in some way. These revived conferences are an opportunity to get away,

connect with the Lord, and be refreshed for a new season of ministry. The next Revive conference

is coming to Indianapolis, September 29 and 30. The focus of this conference will be

women mentoring women. I'll be speaking along with Dana Gresh, Susan Hunt, Mary Cassie, and Blair

Lynn, and others. So if you're involved in women's ministry in any way, or if you have a heart to be

involved in Titus II-type mentoring relationships, I hope you'll

make plans to be there too. To give you a taste of what a Revive conference is like, today we're

going to hear a message that Dr. Eric Mason delivered at Revive 15. I know as I listened to this message,

I was sitting there on the front row. I could hardly breathe. There was such an

anointing, such a power as Dr. Mason called us as Bible teachers and leaders to be repenters

ourselves, to be sure that we're responding to the message that we're sharing with others.

So here's Dr. Eric Mason on the role of repentance in the life of a Bible teacher.

Psalm 51, honored to be here.

Honored to be here.

Let's go there, verse one in the Psalms says, have mercy on me.

Oh, God, according to your steadfast love, according to your abundant
