Welcome to Sunday Renewal — a weekly podcast for anyone who feels spiritually tired, distracted, or distant from God.
Hosted by Ernest Benjamin — a preacher, entrepreneur, husband, and father with nearly two decades in ministry — each episode brings you back to what matters: Scripture, stillness, and the presence of God.
No hype. No performance pressure. Just honest teaching that helps you reconnect with the One who renews you.
Every Sunday, you'll find clarity when life feels chaotic, hope when faith feels fragile, and rest when your soul is weary.

61 | How To Be Successful (God's Way)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You can win in public and lose in private.
You can build something impressive and still be empty.
You can climb the ladder and realize it was leaning against the wrong wall.
So let me ask you a serious question: What if success is not what you accumulate… but who you become?
The world measures success in money, status, influence, titles, and applause.
But Scripture measures it differently.
In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we open God’s Word and ask a deeper question:
What does it actually mean to be successful God’s way?
Because it is possible to preach and still be lost.
Possible to attend church and still be drifting.
Possible to look faithful and still miss the heart of Christ.
So what is real success?
In this episode, we'll explore:
✅ Why wealth, power, and position are not reliable measures of success
✅ What the rich young ruler reveals about misplaced confidence
✅ Why intimacy with Christ must come before imitation of Christ
✅ How prayer anchors a life that does not sink in the storm
✅ What Peter walking on water teaches us about focus and faith
✅ Why success is guaranteed when Christ is the focal point
If success is acting like Jesus without thinking about it, then Jesus is not just a priority.
He is the priority.
That means learning to think like Him.
Respond like Him.
Forgive like Him.
Trust like Him.
It means keeping your eyes fixed on Him in the storms of life.
🎧 Listen now and discover what success looks like when Jesus defines it.
God bless you.
