If You’re Not Raising Leaders, You’re Losing the Future by Ps. Roman Gutierrez | MCALLEN CONF

About this episode

Pastor Roman Gutierrez discusses the critical importance of raising leaders to prevent the collapse of churches and communities.

What happens when there are no leaders left? Pastor Roman Gutierrez opens the McAllen Bible Conference with a powerful message on why churches, ministries, and even nations collapse when leadership is not cultivated. Using real-world examples and biblical truth from 2 Timothy 2:2, this sermon breaks down a hard reality: If you’re not raising leaders, you’re setting up failure. This isn’t just about pastors. It’s about parents, workers, teenagers, and anyone serious about making an impact. Key takeaways: Leaders are formed, not born Growth without reproduction leads to collapse Faithfulness beats talent every time Real leadership is influence, not position Your legacy is who you build, not what you build This message will challenge how you think about discipleship, leadership, and your role in shaping the next generation.
