[November 2025] I. Don't. Want. To. Go.

In The Loop ·

2025/11/01

Ever stared at your schedule and thought, “Ugh… I really don’t want to go”? We’ve all been there—whether it’s a meeting, a ministry event, or even a Sunday service. But here’s the truth: leadership isn’t about convenience. In Episode 62, I’ll talk about why showing up matters, how your presence sets culture, and why your influence is bigger than you realize. This is your reminder: leadership is lived in the moments you choose to be present.

[October 2025] One Thing that Changes Everything

In The Loop ·

2025/10/01

Leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about asking the right questions. The truth is, churches don’t grow by accident, lives aren’t changed by chance, and leaders don’t stay passionate without purpose. Today, I want to invite you to step back from the busyness of ministry and lean into some core questions that can reshape the way you lead. These aren’t once-a-year, strategic-plan questions; they’re the kind you carry in prayer, revisit often, and let guide your decisions.

[September 2025] The Power of a Quiet Leader

In The Loop ·

2025/09/01

When we picture a leader, most of us imagine someone loud, bold, extroverted—someone who walks into a room and immediately takes charge. But leadership doesn’t always look that way. Some of the most powerful and effective leaders are the quiet ones. They don’t lead with volume, but with presence. They don’t demand the spotlight, but they make space for others to shine. Quiet leaders are listeners, thoughtful decision-makers, and steady examples. Today, we’re going to talk about the strengths, the

[August 2025] "Hey Narcissistic Leader... Who, Me?"

In The Loop ·

2025/08/01

There’s a quiet danger in leadership—the slow drift toward narcissism. It doesn’t happen overnight. It starts small: a little pride, a little control, a little spotlight. But left unchecked, it can poison a ministry from the inside out. In this episode of In the Loop, we’re taking a hard look at the subtle shift from servant to celebrity, from called to controlling. This is a heart-check for every leader—because the most dangerous leader is the one who no longer sees the need to grow.

[July] Stop Chasing the Pulpit—Start Carrying the Load

In The Loop ·

2025/07/01

There’s a dangerous misconception creeping into the mindset of too many aspiring ministers today—a subtle but powerful lie that says the pulpit is the prize. That somehow, the goal of ministry is the microphone. Your pastor doesn’t need another sermon—he needs a servant. The spotlight doesn’t sanctify you—service does. Today, we’re going to talk about what it really means to be used by God, and why chasing the pulpit will never compare to carrying the load.

[June 2025] When Work Becomes the Enemy of Vision

In The Loop ·

2025/06/01

Let’s be real—you’ve had that moment. The lightbulb moment. The “this is it” kind of vision. It hits you out of nowhere and suddenly, you can see it. The future looks big, bold, and full of purpose. You start dreaming, planning, maybe even telling people about it. It’s exciting… until it isn’t. Because right after the vision comes the realization: this is going to take a lot of work. And that’s when doubt starts creeping in. The excitement fades, the energy dips, and you start wondering—*was this

[May 2025] Content vs Connection

In The Loop ·

2025/05/01

In a world overflowing with sermons, reels, and leadership resources, it’s never been easier to deliver great content—but is that really what moves people?

[October 2024] Leadership or Lordship

In The Loop ·

2024/10/01

In this podcast, we’ll discuss leadership and lordship. At what point in your leadership could you start to lord over God’s people as if you own them?
