In a world increasingly divided by politics, ideology, and cultural conflict, where should a Christian’s ultimate allegiance lie? In this episode of FORTIFIED, Dave Harrell and Cory Piatt examine what Scripture teaches about the two kingdoms at work in the world and the believer’s place within them. While many are tempted to view current events through a purely political lens, the Bible reveals a far greater spiritual conflict unfolding around us. Join Dave and Cory as they discuss the Christian’s true citizenship, the nature of Christ’s kingdom, and how believers can remain faithful to their King in the midst of a culture that demands competing loyalties.For more podcasts, books, sermons, and other resources, please visit:SHEPHERDSFIRE.ORG"FORTIFIED" is captured and produced by VCE Productions in Nashville, TN For more information visit www.vceproductions.com

The Goal of Christian Ministry - Part 2
In this episode of Fortified, hosts Cory Piatt and Dave Harrell continue their study of Seven Key Principles for Effective Ministry as they return to The Goal of Christian Ministry. Building on the foundation laid in Part 1, they press deeper into Scripture’s vision for what ministry is truly meant to accomplish—not worldly influence, personal ambition, or external metrics, but the exaltation of Christ through the spiritual growth of His people. Cory and Dave explore additional biblical texts and theological convictions that illuminate how genuine ministry seeks to shape believers into mature disciples who display the character and glory of Christ in everyday life. With thoughtful guidance and pastoral warmth, they encourage listeners to measure ministry not by momentary results but by enduring faithfulness to God’s Word and God’s purposes. Join them as they continue this vital conversation, calling Christians to labor with their eyes fixed on Christ and the eternal impact of a ministry devoted to Him.For more podcasts, books, sermons, and other resources, please visit:SHEPHERDSFIRE.ORG"FORTIFIED" is captured and produced by VCE Productions in Nashville, TN For more information visit www.vceproductions.com
