Has the last year and a half left you exhausted? Are you wondering if you have the energy necessary to lead your team or organization? Well today, listen in on my conversation with a highly respected leader about the importance of a deep, interior life and rich relationship that will enhance your spiritual leadership.

The past year and a half has been a very difficult time for many leaders in ministry as well as in business.  We’ve seen that many leaders are just exhausted.  In fact, large numbers of leaders have retired years before they planned because they have run out of gas leading through the pandemic.   

Is this how you feel?  Are you exhausted and running out of energy as you try to lead your teams and organization?   

Today, we are going to explore this conversation with one of our good friends and a highly respected ministry leader.

As a leader how do you respond to the feedback you received that isn't what you want to hear? Listen in as today's guest inspires us to receive regular, anonymous feedback from staff and to act on it. He believes it will have an eternal consequence for every Christian leader.

What if you could belong to a church “with a heart for those outside the church. A place where anyone can come and connect with God without the risk of being judged. A church that’s rich with ethnic diversity, and a place where kids love to come back each week.” I want you to meet the senior pastor of just such a church. Once you hear his story, you’ll want to hear more—especially when it comes to the leadership and staff who make the church’s ministry possible. 

My guest is Dr. Chris Stephens, Senior Pastor of Faith Promise Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. Chris, your life changed forever as you laid in a hospital bed when you were 22. Tell us about that life-defining story.

You'll find today's guest has a fascinating story of how he inherited a very unhealthy culture at a Christian college and turned it into a flourishing one. Listen in to how he did it.

We all know that tremendous employee engagement equates to a tremendously flourishing workplace culture. A lot of leaders would be glad if 60% of their people felt engaged in their work. My guest today leads an organization where 79% of the employees—nearly 80%--feel engaged. How do they do it? What’s been their secret? We’re about to find out.

Would you like to be led more by Jesus, live and lead more like Jesus, and lead more to Jesus? Today's podcast is just for you.

Sometimes in life, we can lose our wonder.  It can happen gradually or overnight.  In talking with many Christian leaders struggling through the past year, I hear about a lot of people being exhausted, tired, thinking about retiring early, even quitting. Some have described it as ‘the dark night of the soul’ where there has been an absence of the presence of God in our lives.   

In the next few minutes, I want to give you a new kind of pathway so you can live more like Jesus—and perhaps renew the sense of His presence, especially in your work. And I’ve just the person to take us on this adventure. 

Dr. Steve Brown, President of Arrow Leadership and author of a very timely, engaging book titledJesus Centered: Focusing on Jesus in a Distracted WorldSteve, welcome to the Flourishing Culture Podcast.
