The Well: An Elim Fellowship Leadership Podcast

In the Season 3 finale of The Well, Doug Coburn sits down with Dr. Eric Peoples, author of Finishing Strong: A Leader’s Guide to Courageous Living, for a candid conversation about what it really means to lead well and finish well. Drawing from a near-death experience, decades of leadership, and the hard-won lessons behind his new book, Eric challenges leaders to rethink success, confront the fears they often leave in the dark, and ask what truly matters in the season of life they’re in. From difficult conversations and relational trust to the difference between success on paper and biblical faithfulness, this conversation is an invitation to stop chasing the wrong scoreboard and start paying attention to who we are becoming along the way. Because finishing well isn't simply about crossing the finish lines. It's about breaking the tape with our faith, character, calling, and relationships intact.

In this powerful message from Elim Fellowship’s Prophetic and Worship Conferences, Bob Sorge challenges worship leaders to move beyond polished, predictable worship and learn to recognize and respond to the movements of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from the story of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, Bob contrasts the “Philistine cart” of human methods with the weight and responsibility of carrying God’s presence on our shoulders. With passion, humor, and a prophetic challenge, he calls the Church to recover the biblical richness of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs and to become sensitive enough to know when to stop, listen, and make room for the glory of God.

What does it really mean to be a worshiper? In this episode of The Well, John Heisman takes us deeper into the heart of worship, exploring the connection between worship, prophecy, the Word of God, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Romans 12, Deuteronomy 33, and the story of John the Baptist, John challenges us to move beyond religious ritual and learn to recognize when the Spirit is “hovering” and revealing what God wants to do next. Worship isn’t simply about what we sing or what we receive from God. It’s about becoming a people who pour our love and affection back to Him, listen for His voice, and allow His Spirit to lead us. Discover what it means to worship with discernment, to hear the living Word of God, and to wait long enough to see Jesus revealed.
