  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
It Takes a Team ft. Kevin Gerald | Ep. 214
Q: What's a big idea that stands out in the book to you that would apply to the second chair?
The big idea is, don't just see that you have a leader, like be that leader and lead together and win bigger.
The Power & Presence of the Local Church ft. James Grout | S8 Ep. 210
Q: How does One Child work with local churches to make an international impact?
