  • Surprising clash

    Felt startlingly incongruous when the conversation about Eugene Peterson’s ruthless attempts to askew platforms, is interrupted by paid advert for a marketing organization about expanding your reach.

  • Wrong side of history

    As far as the JD Greear episode about Charlie Kirk, from his silence on the bad things Kirk espoused, it’s pretty clear to see what side of the civil rights movement JD would have been on. The wrong one. As with Billy Graham.

CNLP 840 | The Dangerous Side of Leadership: Andy Stanley on Being "Special" And Letting Influence Go To Your Head
Q: What's your point of view on whether leaders are born or made?
Stanley believes people can improve their leadership skills, but some have an innate leadership gift that draws followers. Those who have it must use it responsibly.
CNLP 839 | Philip Anthony Mitchell on Overcoming Jealousy, Surviving a Suicidal Season, How to Lead If Your Church Doesn't Grow (And If It Explodes), and Answering His Critics
Q: What happened during the season when you wanted to end your life and the ministry?
Mitchell describes being devastated after a story he told from the pulpit hurt people and became a public controversy. His daughters sent him an encouraging message and his brother Matt reached out. Reflecting on the events of Holy Week helped him find comfort in the idea of sharing in Christ's suffering, and he says the experience deepened his faith.

Q: What was the battle with jealousy like for you?

CNLP 838 | "I Don't Want to Be That Guy": Chuck DeGroat on Shame, Burnout, the Limits of Spiritual Disciplines and the Nervous System
Q: What is your advice to leaders who are really struggling with a sense of, I can't talk to anyone about this? There's just too much shame.
DeGroat says shame is rooted in disconnection and the belief that one is not enough or does not belong. He recommends seeking trusted connection and addressing shame early, before it fuels isolation, addiction, or further harm.
