We’re back with some NEW theme music, some NEW energy, and 3 things every church leader needs to be prepared for in 2021.
In today’s episode, Jesse Tink talks about operationalizing follow-through, how he has learned to lead people through ministry loss and difficult changes, and some honest insights into why church leaders need to be more honest with their people than they typically are.
2021 is going to look just a little different for our team here at 95Network. Austin, our Managing Director, is taking a step out and starting his own content marketing agency. Here’s how we’re navigating that transition.
“Freedom is not the absence of something, it’s the presence of Someone.” Bob Hamp, Founder of Think Differently Academy, forever changed Dale’s life and ministry.
Earlier this year, Dale had the opportunity to lead a one-day event and a workshop at the Preaching & Teaching Convention at Ozark Christian College.
Dillon Smith is the Content Director for Carey Nieuwhof and is an intuitive, wise, and strategic Gen Z leader.
Today, here’s about as honest of a conversation as you could get on the podcast, and some crucial reminders about how none of us are the exception.
Derwin Gray, former NFL player and Lead Pastor of Transformation Church in Indian Lake, SC, is truly one of the most grounded, thoughtful, and balanced leaders we’ve met.
Brian Weber is the Executive Minister of Converge MidAtlantic, having the opportunity to work directly with church leaders each and every week.
Jeff VanderGiessen spent eight years working at Mars Hill Church in Seattle before he felt God’s call to launch Amplio Systems in Chicago.
Barb Roose is an incredible, fun leader with a HUGE heart for the Church, and this episode is jam-packed with wisdom for church leaders.
Equipping can’t be reduced to a weekly performance; it requires presence, relationship, modeling, and shared life.
“If you got a pulse, he’s got a purpose for you.” Retirement isn’t the end of ministry; it’s a new season with fresh opportunities to serve, mentor, and impact the kingdom.
Self-awareness protects leaders from self-deception. Honest feedback is a guardrail for character and culture.
Build discipleship around practice, not just information. People grow through doing, feedback, and repetition in relationships.
Prayer is the engine, not the accessory. Easter effectiveness is not primarily about production, but about God’s presence.
Less Is More—With Intentionality. Doing less with your whole heart is better than doing more and being worn out. Fewer tactics executed with great intentionality will be more effective than an overwhelming production.
Have the Conversation Before There’s a Problem. You can’t wait for something negative to happen before talking to volunteers. Schedule regular check-ins not just about their area of service but about their lives.
The personal God gets personal with us. Biblical counseling explores the active, desiring heart beneath behavior and connects it to Christ’s finished work and the Spirit’s present ministry.
America’s churches are over-inspired and under-trained. People hear great messages but don’t know how to actually do ministry. The solution is creating workshop environments where people learn by doing, not just listening.
With a possible 160,000 churches facing pastoral transitions in the next decade, there’s a critical shortage of developed leaders ready to step into these roles.
