  • Summary

  • Throughout the years, I've come to believe two truths: one, everyone leads someone, and two, no one really feels qualified to lead anyone. Add the pressure put on us by culture to have all the answers in a world full of confusion, and you've got a recipe for reluctant leaders. Thankfully, when it comes to leading in the Bible and in life, the most qualified aren't always the most obvious. This podcast is a conversation for all of us who want to lead well but never feel like we are.New episodes are released on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays each month.

  • TRLP 039: Never - and we mean, NEVER - stop planting because the harvest IS coming

    TRLP 039: Never - and we mean, NEVER - stop planting because the harvest IS coming
    Apr 9 2024

    As we wrap up our "Restored to Health" miniseries in Psalm 126, the psalmist reminds us that even after we've been restored, there is work to be done.

    Even more importantly, he reminds us that the work often still feels like work, and yet he holds out the very real hope that when the sowing brings us pain, the reaping will bring us bounty.

    TRLP 038: Let's Talk About Taking Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back, and Why Sometimes That Might be Normal

    We've all been there. We've gone public about something amazing that God has done in our lives, churches, businesses, or ministries only to wake up the next day and find ourselves wondering if it really happened?

    In this episode, we can take comfort in the fact that the people of God also lived in the "now and not yet" places we find ourselves. Yes, God had brought back the captives (Psalm 126:1), and yet in Psalm 126:4 they asked Him to do it again.

    Or did they?

    Let's find out together in part 4 of our "Restored to Health" miniseries in Psalm 126.

  • TRLP 037: Let's Talk About a Four Letter Word with the Power to Get Us Through the Process

    TRLP 037: Let's Talk About a Four Letter Word with the Power to Get Us Through the Process
    Mar 12 2024
    Sometimes the process of being restored to joy is just that ... a process. That process can be daunting and overwhelming if we think it's about being the perfect leader or the perfect person, but when we accept as fact that the Lord has restored us to health, then the process can become a celebration of all that the Lord has done to this point.

    No more hiding or pretending.

    No more masks or fake smiles.

    "Here I raise my Ebeneezer" because thus far, to this point in the process, the Lord has been my help. And that means, He'll continue to be from this point forward, too.

Simple obedience produces supernatural outcomes!

I’m not giving myself 5 stars, but I am giving my YES 5 stars! When we give God our yes - even reluctantly - He takes care of the rest!

Much needed

I'm so fearful in the best way to download and start this book. I think it's so true that as he said what is not acknowledged can not be healed. Furtick said in a sermon a few years back when speaking of racial inequality that what doesnt get healed gets handed down. And so having to face the fact that whether we like it or not, we have work and rewiring to do bc of what has been handed down to us is no easy task. There again, if we didn't feel "reluctant", that would be strange. Another thing that really stood out is Paul saying that God EXPOSES what He wants to heal. I felt like that was a gigantic exhale if I'm being honest bc MAN - has He ever exposed a nation divided, a city divided, a community divided and even at times a family divided but what a message of hope that is, that He did that so that what would be uncovered could then be covered by His grace. I can honestly say I welcome the uncomfortability. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the authenticity and vulnerability. I'd love to hear you both conversate more so I look forward to the next 5 or 10 follow ups.
