Episode #63: John Nuzzo, Pastor of Victory Family Church
Bio:
John Nuzzo is the senior pastor of Victory Family Church located in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. Pastor John and his wife Michelle founded the church in 1993. Under their leadership, the church has grown into a body of believers possessing the same vision—to reveal the love of God for all mankind. Their belief is that an individual’s understanding of the depths of God’s love will cause every man, woman and child to rise above their circumstances, have an eternal perspective in life, and be moved beyond their own needs to the needs of humanity. Pastor John’s teaching is delivered in a way that is relevant to the life and heart of every believer. Pastor John and Michelle’s desire is to see people experience God in everyday life.

Key Takeaways:
- Biblical leadership is about who you lift and what you build for other people to live in after you’re gone
- Superficial success is attractive because it boosts our egos, but it will ruin your life.
- Success and failure are not secrets
- Don’t want to be anything other than what God wants you to be
- Live by principle, not pressure
- The pressure you feel is not going away, in fact, the further you go in your purpose, the more pressure there is.
- We can’t create God in our own image
- God’s all about getting His resources for His purposes to His people who are doing His purposes!
- It’s ok to be messed up, but it’s not ok to stay that way
- Leaders don’t grow because they don’t deal with their unhealthiness & inadequacies
- Never ever ever ever discuss what you don’t like laterally or down, talk to the people above you or else you’ll divide an organization
