What if the key to trust wasn’t just character—but competence, clarity, and accountability?

In this compelling episode of The WiLD Conversation Podcast, Dr. Rob McKenna sits down with longtime friend and fellow leadership practitioner Alex Shootman, CEO of Alkami Technology and author of Done Right: How Tomorrow’s Top Leaders Get Stuff Done. What unfolds is not just a sharp exchange between two seasoned leaders—but a deeply honest conversation between old friends who have walked through leadership’s messiness, pressure, and purpose together.

With decades of experience leading turnarounds and scaling high-performing software organizations, Alex shares how he grounds his leadership in four non-delegable CEO responsibilities—and how a “No-Blame Bias” has shaped the way he builds trust, manages growth, and drives both results and culture.

Drawing from a leadership framework that values both getting it done and doing it right, Alex unpacks how clear accountability, relentless transparency, and trust as a managed business function are essential to long-term success. He reminds us that in every high-performing team, trust is breaking all the time—so we must be intentional about building it all the time.

Whether you're a CEO, an emerging leader, or someone navigating the tension between results and values, this episode offers not only practical wisdom—but a refreshing window into what happens when sharp minds, shared values, and leaders-in-process come together in authentic conversation.

Today on BOLD STEPS with Pastor Mark Jobe … we’re discovering the meaning behind the ninth Commandment. As we move forward in our series on Rock Solid Living, we’re going to be looking at the ninth Commandment and the reasons why God includes it, and why Jesus affirms it in passages of the New Covenant. The title of this sermon is Thou Shall Not Lie … but it goes even deeper than that—it’s about bearing false witness against your neighbor.

When someone has wronged you, it's easy to become angry and let it fester in your soul. If they don't repent, release them to God. He will deal with them.

Our teacher, John Mathews, addresses concerns about the return of Christ. Paul clarifies that before Jesus returns, there will be a rebellion, and the “man of lawlessness” will appear. Paul urges believers to stand firm in their faith and warns against being deceived by false signs. He reminds them that the law was made for the unrighteous, not the righteous, and that Christ’s return will bring justice.

When Dianne Dokko Kim and her husband discovered their son was diagnosed with autism, she struggled with the very real possibility that her cognitively disabled son might outlive her. She cried out to God: What will he do without me to care for him? God surrounded her with a support system of other adults raising children with disabilities. He empowered Dianne to trust Him with her often-unexplainable guilt, feelings of inadequacy, and fear. Eventually, in her book Unbroken Faith, Dianne offered hope for “spiritual recovery” to other adults raising children with disabilities. As her son enters adulthood, Dianne’s faith remains intact. She trusts God will always care for her and her son.

Uncertainties in life can harden our hearts toward God. We may be tempted to place our faith in other things or people, including ourselves. We can, however, depend on “the Rock of our salvation” (Psalm 95:1)—a phrase that points to the certainty of God’s character. “In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land” (vv. 4-5).

We can live with unbroken faith, worshiping our “Lord our Maker” (v. 6). We can trust Him to be with us and those we love because we are “the flock under his care” (v. 7).
