In this episode, I talk to Pastor Gregg Headley, who served as lead pastor of Gospel Lighthouse Church for 30 years and now serves as Secretary-Treasurer of the North Texas Assemblies of God.

We discuss his remarkable journey — from surrendering to God’s call at a youth camp in Alabama, through Bible college and seminary, to moving to Texas in 1980 and faithfully leading the same church for three decades.

Pastor Headley shares key lessons learned from 30+ years of ministry, including how to develop the spirit of a servant, the heart of a shepherd, and the skillfulness of a leader. He also opens up about the powerful transition moment when God spoke three simple but profound words: Obey, Trust, and Surrender.

We dive deep into practical wisdom for young pastors and ministry leaders: embracing God’s timing, balancing faith and practical leadership, the importance of prayer partners, delegation, and refusing to quit even in difficult seasons. We also talk about the joy and challenges of starting and sustaining a Christian school as part of the local church.

A must-listen for pastors, ministry leaders, seminary students, and anyone who wants to run the race of ministry with faithfulness and fruitfulness for the long haul.
