Have you ever wondered how important improving your workplace culture is? Well, today our guest says of all the changes that you can make in your organization there's one that matters more than all the others—the culture of your organization. Listen in as this pastor describes how working on cultural health is actually at the core of Christian discipleship for any leader.

One of the things I enjoy most about my job is getting to know innovative leaders that are making a difference for the kingdom.  One of those leaders is Jeff Lockyer, the Lead Pastor at Southridge Community Church in St. Catharines, Ontario in the Niagara Region.

Recent reports show consumer prices rose 6.2 percent year over year in October 2021. Adding pressure on employers to raise wages. It's the largest wealth fund increase in over 30 years. So how should Christian-led organizations address compensation practices? Well, listen in as I talk with a compensation expert that can help us get a good grasp on this important topic. 

Today, we’re going to look at Rewarding Compensation, the fifth of the eight drivers that can take the health of your workplace culture to the next level.

Rewarding Compensation is all about providing tangible resources in return for the service your employees provide. My guest has so many wonderful stories and practical strategies that can speak to your own compensation plan and how it can strengthen your organization’s workplace culture.

With that, I want to welcome in my guest, Susan Byers, the founder of Church Compensation Services. Based in Dallas, Church Compensation Services specializes in developing compensation programs utilizing the most relevant, reliable, and robust compensation data available for large and growing churches, and this publication is called the MegaChurch Compensation Report.

Prior to founding Church Compensation Services, Susan served in the Human Resources Department of a large health care organization as the Compensation and Benefits Director.

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.
