In this episode, Sam reflects on the past 12 years of his wilderness experience that started when God led him out of the church. Using the story of Jesus being led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil before beginning His ministry, Sam challenges us to consider what wilderness experience God is leading us into. To enter into God’s calling we must experience a right of passage. To enter into our purpose we must pass through the pain, trials, and tests of the wilderness, and walk through victorious. _________________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast. Join Sam Neider, a former pastor, on his journey of enlightenment as he shares his story of walking through darkness and despair to lay hold of the LIGHT that he could not find in 30 years of seeking, searching, and serving in the church. Sam exposes why the church is broken and how the misaimed, man-made system fails at bringing light into the world and at producing transformation in the lives of the believers. Sam will empower you, the listener, with the good news of living the KINGDOM LIFE, based on the TRUTH of what Jesus really taught and commissioned us to do - the TRUTH that has been veiled by the broken system of the church.
