Stepping Up

Lakewood Church pastor Johnny McGowan helps readers unlock God’s power to elevate their position in STEPPING UP!

Beloved Lakewood Pastor Johnny McGowan offers personal insights and biblical wisdom to help us reach our God-given potential. Exploring what he has learned on his own path of service, first as the aide to Lakewood founder John Osteen, and now to Lakewood lead pastor Joel Osteen, he shares the importance of embracing our current position. Where we serve today could be where tomorrow we lead. God’s plan for his children is greater than we can imagine. By fully committing ourselves to his guidance right from where we are, instead of focusing on self-advancement, He will open doors where our gifts can be used in the most wonderful ways.

Throughout his experience, Pastor Johnny has embraced his role of service, being strongly compelled that God wanted him where he was: part of a movement that was larger than himself. He learned to truly rise in his supporting role and has flourished with purpose as a result.

Now, Pastor Johnny shares his wisdom in STEPPING UP! This book is a guide for serving with integrity, passion, and instinct for success. Through service, we can step up and achieve a life that is favored by God. By joyfully approaching our current position, we let God open the right doors for us and receive the divine value and glory of STEPPING UP!
