  • Great information

    I had a question could find where to submit. Long story short. After a 2nd chair leader steps down due to whatever issue. Fast forward years later. How does this 2nd chair leader step back in to leadership. I know that we have to pray about it but what’s the next step? Thanks. God bless all of you!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lead It Like You Own It ft. Brandon Stewart | Ep. 219
Q: What do you hope the book will achieve?
The hope is that it serves as a tool to raise up leaders in local churches everywhere, and that it encourages ownership within church teams.
Lead It Like You Own It ft. Brandon Stewart | Ep. 219
Q: What was the motivating factor for writing this book?
The motivating factor was to raise up leaders for the kingdom of God and provide a resource to help new leaders feel empowered in ministry.
Leading in Your Grace Zone ft. Julian Lowe | Ep. 215
Q: What would you say to the person who's striving for another role?
Focus on dying to self and burying ambitions for personal glory. True growth comes from serving and investing in others rather than seeking recognition or promotion.
Leading in Your Grace Zone ft. Julian Lowe | Ep. 215
Q: How do we decipher between a lack of grace and a lack of effort?
It's important to assess if effort is being applied. If someone isn't performing, help them reflect on their commitment and effort level towards their role.
Leading in Your Grace Zone ft. Julian Lowe | Ep. 215
Q: How do you see it as a pastor? I mean, when you're looking at your team, does it feel like there's a different grace and a different need for every role, for every hat on the team, so to speak?
Each role has distinct challenges, and noticing when someone is not in their grace zone is crucial to prevent damage to the organization.
