The Potter's House Podcast

Pressure isn’t a sign you’re off track; it’s God breaking up the ground so your harvest can grow.   In this panel discussion, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Dr. Val, and Pastor Don Johnson take us through Acts 6-10, revealing what real growth looks like when the foundation is tested. They challenge the myth that titles produce work, exposing that the most powerful servants were already doing the work before they ever received recognition. From Stephen’s unwavering faith while being condemned to Philip’s willingness to let go of the mantle so Paul could step into his purpose, this panel shows us that God doesn’t promote titles, He promotes hearts.   You’ll discover that softening your heart daily, volunteering without expecting return, and keeping your eyes on Jesus instead of your accusers is what sustains you through pressure.  These questions anchor our discussion:  • Why do things become harder before recovery?  • How do I soften my heart daily?  • How do I check my spirit when volunteering, not to seek recognition?  • What does it mean when God is trying to heal you, but you reject it?  Watch the full conversation and discover how pressure produces purpose.  Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: Growing Through Pressure”  Speakers: Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Dr. Val, and Pastor Don Johnson Scriptures: Acts 6-10 Date: June 10, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

When you look at someone’s position, you see the glory. But do you see the weight?  Pastor Keion Henderson unpacks what actually happened during the transfer of leadership at The Potter’s House almost a year ago. Drawing from the biblical transfer between Elijah and Elisha (1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 2:9-15), he reveals how Elisha didn’t ask for the position. He asked for the spirit that drove the man. Because every great move of God costs somebody something.   When God calls you, He first asks you to change your plans to change someone else’s world. And when you’re tired? God says to get up because sometimes His answer to our discouragement is divine assignment.  Pastor Henderson says the mantle only falls on motion. Elisha was working his 12 oxen when the call came. He wasn’t waiting for perfection; he was faithful with what he had. And the mantle isn’t just on the Roberts — it’s on you. The church. A transfer is coming.  What are you going to do with it?  Message: “It’s Heavier Than It Looks” Scripture:  1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 2:9-15, John 14:12 (NET) Speaker: Pastor Keion Henderson Date: June 7, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Pain may be loud, but it doesn’t get the final word.   In “Help Is on the Way,” Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that God never asks us to ignore our pain, but He invites us to bring it into His presence. Gratitude and grief can exist in the same heart, and trusting God in the process is how we walk through it with Him.  In John 14 and Lamentations 3, we discover how hope is born in the middle of hardship, why pain doesn’t have to paralyze your praise, and how the Holy Spirit serves as your advocate, helper, and guide. When Jeremiah’s soul was sinking, God’s faithfulness lifted his perspective, and He can do the same for you.  If you’re navigating disappointment, grief, uncertainty, or simply waiting on God, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that His mercy is still at work.   Message: “Help Is on the Way” Scripture: John 14:25-26, Lamentations 3:20-24 (NKJV) Speaker: Sarah Jakes Roberts Date: May 31, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Sometimes we’re surrounded by so much noise, fear, and pressure that we don’t hear heaven’s sound.  But God is still speaking.  This Walk It Out Wednesday conversation continues unpacking “The Great Gathering” and the power of Pentecost, exploring how the Holy Spirit gives us boldness, breakthrough, and the strength to keep moving even in difficult seasons.  As the night unfolds, what begins as teaching turns into a powerful moment of worship, prayer, and prophetic declaration. This service will encourage you to stop silencing your faith and start echoing what God is saying over your life. Grief, fear, and pain aren’t the end of your story.  Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: The Great Gathering” Scripture: Acts 2:1-4 (NKJV) Speakers: Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, Dr. Oscar Williams Date: May 27, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Some seasons feel scattered. But on Pentecost Sunday, Bishop T.D. Jakes reminds us that God is still in the business of gathering. Gathering what was broken, what was planted in tears, and gathering people back into purpose, power, and hope again.  “The Great Gathering” unpacks how God brings beauty out of brokenness, turns seasons around suddenly, and gives ordinary people power to do what they never thought possible.  If you’ve been discouraged, resistant, or wondering if anything is still growing from what you planted in faith, this message will remind you: God still turns things around — suddenly.  Message: “The Great Gathering”  Scripture: Acts 2:1-7 (KJV) Speaker: Bishop T.D. Jakes Date: May 24, 2026  ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don’t have to walk this journey alone.
