  • Amazing pivot!

    Don’t sleep on the Christian Leader made simple podcast with Ryan Franklin!

    TBH I checked it out when it first launched but it was more of a short form podcast which I didn’t care for.

    But apparently he pivoted about a year ago and I just now realized it. He has went long form with some really great topics and guest!

    Some I’ve heard of many I have not but they’ve all been great!

    If you’re looking for good conversation from which you can gain wisdom and insight , this is it!

  • In depth Biblical topics

    Pastor Ryan does an excellent job of engaging his guests and asking in depth questions. Their grounding in faith allowed me to think more deeply about leadership.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The One Thing That Lowers Your Stress Faster Than Anything | Dr. Carl Wilson
Q: What role does relationships play in rewiring our brain?
Wilson explains that safe, healthy relationships can promote oxytocin and help counter stress responses. He suggests reaching out to someone who makes you feel safe and loved, while acknowledging that isolation and past relational trauma can make connection difficult.
The One Thing That Lowers Your Stress Faster Than Anything | Dr. Carl Wilson
Q: For the leader out there who, at times, senses that their reactions may be out of proportion to what's actually happening around them, what's the first step for that person to start rewiring the brain?
Wilson recommends recognizing whether the reaction comes from leadership pressure or a trauma response. When a response seems much larger than the present situation, pause and examine it, including any physical reactions and possible triggers.
Why You Can't Protect Anyone Until You Protect Yourself | Lincoln Graham Jr.
Q: What did finding the right boundaries between you, your family, and the church actually look like in practice?
Graham says the process is ongoing. He began to understand boundaries through Scripture's teachings on rest and stewardship, applying them to caring for his wife, children, health, and congregation.
Why You Can't Protect Anyone Until You Protect Yourself | Lincoln Graham Jr.
Q: As a PK yourself, you watched what over pushing did to pastors' families growing up. Tell us about what you saw there.
Graham says he was exposed to too much information about the difficulties of ministry, which made him wary of ministry and reluctant to accept his own calling. He now presents ministry to his children through the lens of passion and calling.
Preaching Is Hard Until You Learn These 7 Rules | Jerry Jones
Q: What does a fuzzy purpose statement look like versus a sharp one?
A sharp purpose statement expresses the sermon's message in one clear sentence. Jones says every point and illustration should support that idea, and material that does not fit should be cut or saved for another sermon.
