    In this episode, I share how the Lord worked through my nine-year-old daughter and my dear sweet Gram in heaven, to get us back into the fold - to save my soul! It's remarkable how the Lord worked in our lives that year.

    Did I mention that God is truly faithful?

    May God bless you abundantly this day!

    Hey team,

    Sharing a few personal testimonials from a few years back ... as we journey forward in becoming courageous leaders for Christ. This story is about my coming back to faith through an interesting character on campus and the battle over a seminar room!

    The Lord is truly faithful.

    Stay close to your Guardian angel, my friend. Blessings upon blessings.

    In this quick episode, I share my earliest memory of experiencing the presence of Jesus and being consumed by His Love and being Home. It is taken from reading the pages of my wee memoir of my journey, "The Battle for my Soul".

    May God's peace be with you, and His Holy, Holy Angels embrace and protect you.

  • Contemporary Leadership: When Things Go Awry
    Jun 12 2025

    Send us a text

    Meet 'Mother Nancy' - who, in our family, is lovingly called “Little Mama.”

    She’s my stepmother-in-law, a mother, a Priest, gamby, and even great-gamby, and fast becoming one of my dearest friends. I finally met Nancy two years ago in Texas while visiting Brian’s dad, Jim. Nancy and Jim were married for 12 beautiful years before we sadly lost Jim to cancer last November.

    Recently, Nancy spent time with us here in New Zealand, and through conversations, memories, and a bit of strategizing, this special podcast series was born.

    Over six episodes, we dive into the world of leadership, drawing from Nancy’s journey and the wisdom she’s gathered as an ordained Priest in the Episcopal Church.

    Expect heartfelt stories, meaningful insights, some laughter, maybe a few tears, and definitely, a couple of giggles along the way. We’re so glad you’re here.

    Read below to learn more about our "little mama".

    Bio:

    Nancy Springer is an Episcopal Priest serving in Canyon Lake, Texas. She was ordained on June 11, the feast of St. Barnabas, and has been in ministry for nearly 13 years. Before her call to the priesthood, she spent 15 years as a technical writer in the banking, software, and grocery industries. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English, a Master of Divinity, and has recently begun work on a Doctor of Ministry degree. Passionate about spiritual formation and helping people lead like Jesus in every vocation, she believes we are all called to live into our gifts as beloved children of God, in the here and now.

    Here's a list of our episodes with Nancy:

    1. Leading with Faith: A Journey into Purposeful Leadership
    2. The Joy in Leadership: Fantasy or Foundation.
    3. Levelling the playing field through Jesus-led leadership
    4. EQ, Love & Reclaiming Self in Leadership
