In this episode of The Today Counts Show, host Jim Piper Jr. sits down with Mason Moore, Worship Pastor at NorthRock Church, and Dr. Chris Juarez, Campus Pastor at NorthRock Church, to explore what it really means to lead the Church in a different world as a Gen Z leader.

As ministry continues to change at a rapid pace, Gen Z leaders are navigating new pressures while learning timeless lessons in real time. Mason and Chris share honest insights on learning from mistakes, embracing collaboration across generations, and leading with authenticity in a culture that quickly detects what isn’t real. They discuss how failure can become a formative teacher, why shared leadership is essential for sustainable ministry, and how authenticity builds trust with both teams and congregations.

This episode isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about growing through experience, leading with humility, and creating healthy ministry environments where people can thrive. Whether you’re a Gen Z leader, a pastor developing young leaders, or someone invested in the future of the Church, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and practical wisdom.

In this episode of The Today Counts Show, host Jim Piper Jr. sits down with Darryl Lyons, CEO of Pax Financial Group, to uncover one of the most overlooked forces in leadership: the hidden financial beliefs that shape how great (and bad) leaders think, decide, and influence others. Every leader—whether in business, ministry, or the public sector—operates from a philosophy of money, and that mindset impacts everything from budgeting and stewardship to generosity, risk tolerance, and organizational culture.

Jim and Darryl explore the difference between healthy financial beliefs that strengthen leadership and unhealthy money mindsets that quietly sabotage decision-making and credibility. Drawing from Darryl’s experience leading a national financial firm, this episode blends biblical wisdom, real-world leadership insights, and practical examples to help you recognize the financial assumptions shaping your leadership style.

If you’re ready to grow as a leader, steward resources wisely, and build a healthier relationship with money, this conversation will challenge your perspective and give you tools to lead with confidence and integrity.
