Ep 58: Putting Jesus on Display, Power Evangelism, & the Kingdom w/ Brian Blount

Tuesday Sep 02, 2025

Brian Blount joins me to talk about his story, Kingdom ministry, and the importance of "doing the stuff" by taking risks!

Brian has spent over twenty-five years equipping and training teams and churches in the mission, message, and ministry of Jesus in healing and power evangelism, both nationally and internationally. Brian was a part of planting Crestwood Vineyard Church (https://crestwoodvineyard.org) where he has served as senior pastor and currently leads Serve the Nations (https://servethenations.org), the missions outreach of Crestwood Vineyard. He lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with his wife Jeanine and their six children (including triplets).

Brian’s heart is to equip and empower believers and churches to live a lifestyle of putting Jesus on display with love and power. Brian is the author of two books, "From the Sanctuary to the Streets" (https://amzn.to/4fYCtem) and "Putting Jesus on Display with Love and Power" (https://amzn.to/3UPc7Su), and is featured in other resources and documentaries.
