Few embrace the preparation.<\/p>\n<p>On this episode of Mature Me, I sit down with my friend @MannyArangoTV <\/p>\n<p>Manny is a husband, father, pastor of @thegardenchurchhtx, and one of the most joyful leaders I know. I&#8217;ve wanted to have this conversation for a long time, and it was worth the wait.<\/p>\n<p>We talk about his salvation story, preaching for the first time at just eleven years old, planting a church, and why God often develops us in private long before He ever uses us in public.<\/p>\n<p>This conversation is a reminder that fruit takes time, pain can become a teacher, and the season you&#8217;re in right now deserves your full stewardship.<\/p>\n<p>We spend so much time looking ahead that we forget to be faithful with what&#8217;s already in our hands. As Manny says, we often overestimate what we could do with what we don&#8217;t have, while underestimating what God can do with what we already do.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t rush the process. Steward the season God has entrusted to you.<br \/>\nTune in tonight at 7:30 PM on the Rich Wilkerson Jr. YouTube Channel. \ud83d\udd17<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to all of Rich\u2019s latest content: https:\/\/www.richwilkersonjr.com<\/p>\n<p>Listen to this episode on Spotify: https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5irnf5xVweBzylMB7L12lM?si=c1fa4ecc659e420e&amp;nd=1&amp;dlsi=9ee25cfb9b234d11<\/p>\n<p>Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts: https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/mature-me-w-rich-wilkerson-jr\/id1727468541<\/p>\n<p>Follow Rich on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/richwilkersonjr\/<br \/>\nFollow Rich on TikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@richwilkersonjr?lang=en<\/p>\n<p>Chapter Titles<br \/>\n00:00 &#8211; Teaser<br \/>\n01:11 &#8211; Meet Manny Arango<br \/>\n08:14 &#8211; From a Crack House to Christ<br \/>\n16:21 &#8211; Why He Started Preaching at 12<br \/>\n22:27 &#8211; The Secret to Growing Your Capacity<br \/>\n30:15 &#8211; Why Most People Quit Too Soon<br \/>\n40:16 &#8211; Are We Obsessed with Rest?<br \/>\n47:17 &#8211; The Correction That Changed Everything<br \/>\n57:49 &#8211; Church Hurt vs. Church Harm Explained<br \/>\n1:06:21 &#8211; Planting One of America&#8217;s Fastest-Growing Churches<br \/>\n1:19:27 &#8211; The Gift Hidden Inside Every Giant<br \/>\n1:27:07 &#8211; The Area Manny Still Needs to Mature In<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone wants the platform.
