In this practical and insightful episode of God Is Not a Theory, Ken Fish is joined by Joel Taylor and Katie Taylor for an honest conversation about how churches can best prepare for ministry trips, conferences, and Holy Spirit-focused events.
Drawing from decades of international ministry experience, Ken shares wisdom from hundreds of ministry trips across churches, conferences, and nations. The discussion explores not only how to prepare spiritually and practically before a ministry event, but also how to navigate spiritual warfare during the trip and—most importantly—how to sustain long-term fruit afterward.
Topics include:
- The importance of prayer and fasting before ministry events
- How unbelief can quietly hinder breakthrough
- Common forms of spiritual warfare during conferences
- Why flexibility and servant-heartedness matter on ministry teams
- How conflict and offense can derail powerful moves of God
- The dangers of platform culture and performance mentality
- Why churches must implement what they receive instead of waiting for the next event
- And how lasting kingdom culture is built through consistency, not hype
Ken also shares candid stories from ministry travel, lessons learned from past failures, and his heart for raising up churches and leaders who can continue the work long after the guest speaker leaves.
At its core, this episode is a reminder that ministry trips are not about creating spiritual spectators—but about equipping the Church to carry the work of the Kingdom forward themselves.
