In "The Power That Changes the World," Bill Johnson addresses a common misconception in the church regarding pulpit ministry. Many people equate one’s dedication to Christ and their spiritual growth solely with their involvement in preaching from the pulpit. This perspective can lead to an unhealthy view of spiritual maturity, where only those who preach are perceived as truly devoted to their faith.

Johnson emphasizes the need to reevaluate this assumption and recognize that devotion and spiritual maturity manifest in various ways beyond just pulpit ministry. He encourages believers to understand that genuine faith can be expressed through diverse actions and callings, highlighting the importance of creating a lasting impact in daily life rather than strictly through formal ministry roles.
