My Mentors: Bob Merritt on Shortcomings as Strengths (South Dakota #13)

Today’s episode is the second episode in My Mentors series.

My guest today is my dear friend and mentor, Bob Merritt - the former Senior Pastor of Eagle Brook Church in Minnesota. 

During his 29 years at Eagle Brook, the church expanded from 300 people to 28,000 and grew to 10 locations throughout the Twin Cities metro. He now spends his time helping pastors and speaking at churches. 

As a pastor, I have looked to Bob for advice on how to build faith for big things and so much more. The impact he’s had on me and the church I pastor, Embrace, has been incredible and I’m so grateful for his guidance and wisdom.

Our conversation covers everything from addressing shortcomings and what to do if you are angry. And Bob shares about the mentor’s he’s had in his own life and gives great advice on how you can find a mentor (and tips for what to do when you find one).
