Many leaders are searching for clarity in a very confusing world. Their lives are chaotic and they struggle with their effectiveness, and as a result, they don’t enjoy leadership as much as they could. I provide a framework called The Christian Leader Blueprint that helps leaders learn and master the biblical skills needed to improve their leadership health and effectiveness.

  • 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.

Short Clip: Why Most Father-Son Pastoral Transitions Go Wrong | Chantry Dean
Q: What were the most pivotal conversations between you and your dad that made this a healthy transition?
Honest discussions about timing, visibility, and influence established a clear path for who leads without eroding respect for the father's foundation; the process was gradual and grounded in ongoing dialogue and mutual trust.
Short Clip: The #1 Mistake Leaders Make Before Saying 'God Told Me' | Raymond Woodward
Q: What would you say to the pastor or leader who is struggling to hear the voice of God and gain discernment today?
Start with practical steps: seek reliable counsel, compare your sense of direction with trusted mentors and past outcomes, and be willing to repent and adjust course when you've misread God's leading. Make discernment a communal process rather than an isolated moment.
Short Clip: How to Know If You're in a Hard Season or Just a Bad Steward | DJ Hill
Q: What is the most prominent leadership blind spot related to rhythm, and what small adjustment can help close it?
A common blind spot is failure to listen to feedback from family or close colleagues; the suggested adjustment is opening lines of communication and inviting honest critique from those who see the daily impact of your choices, then acting on it.
Short Clip: How to Know If You're in a Hard Season or Just a Bad Steward | DJ Hill
Q: How do you discern the difference between just a hard season that requires endurance and a need to course correct?
The guest explains that some seasons are driven by external events and inevitable chaos, while a bad rhythm stems from self-imposed patterns like poor boundary setting; the key is to assess whether you can control the factors (e.g., date nights, family time, prayer time) and to rely on a trusted life team to tell you when you're pushing beyond healthy limits.
Short Clip: What Resistance Looks Like When You Take Over a Church | Chantry Dean
Q: If a pastor is about to, or a leader is about to follow like a 30 or 40 year pastor, what would you say are the first two or three moves that they need to make to set themselves up for long-term success?
Focus on listening in the first season to learn culture before attempting to shape it, publicly honor the past while privately clarifying the future, and build a small, trusted leadership core early to guide the transition—engaging volunteers and seeking feedback to prevent carrying the burden alone.
