What if the real cost of success wasn’t what you thought?

In this week’s episode of the Believe Again podcast, Josh and Amy Roberie sit down with Grammy Award-winning producer, songwriter, and pastor Aaron Lindsey, along with his wife, Adrian Lindsey. Known for his work with gospel icons like Fred Hammond and Israel Houghton, Aaron shares his journey from electrician to music producer, and now to pastor, with powerful insights on taking risks, finding success, and navigating the challenges of ministry.

One of the most profound moments in the conversation is when Aaron discusses the idea of finding the "stones to cross the river of success." He explains that rather than focusing on the end goal, it’s about identifying and stepping on the stones—small, actionable steps—that lead to long-term success. This mindset shift allows you to keep moving forward, even when the goal seems far away.

Are you focusing too much on the big goal instead of the small steps that will get you there? Think about the "stones" in your life that can move you forward—what’s the next step you need to take?

Aaron also reflects on the difference between paying the price for failure versus investing in success. Many believe that success comes with a price, but Aaron flips this notion on its head, arguing that "you pay the price for failure; you enjoy the benefits of success." This mindset encourages us to view risk-taking as an investment toward our dreams, rather than something to fear.

Do you see risk as something to fear or as an investment toward your success? Reflect on a time when you hesitated to take a chance—what would change if you viewed that risk as part of the process to achieve something greater?

This conversation offers a wealth of wisdom for anyone looking to step out in faith, whether in ministry, business, or life. If you’ve ever hesitated to take a risk or struggled to find your next step, this episode will inspire you to keep moving forward with faith and determination.
