When You Follow God’s Call . . . and Fail — guest: Warren Mainard



After 17 years of successful youth ministry in Texas and South Carolina, Warren Mainard heard a call from God. His wife heard it, too. The call was to take their two children, move to Seattle, and plant a church there.

It took Warren three years to get church attendance to 100. Then came 2016, and political turmoil tore apart the small church. Two years later, with his family suffering, Warren had to step away from the church that he had planted.

Had God called Warren to Seattle to fail?

With nearly 30 years of ministry and leadership experience,Warren Mainardbrings enthusiasm, vision, and catalytic energy wherever he goes. In addition to serving as the National Director ofIMPACT Players-- which inspires men to be great husbands, fathers, and leaders -- Warren is a coach, consultant, speaker, and prolific writer. Warren has been married to Leah, the love of his life, for over 26 years and has two children, daughter Krista and son Micah.
