In this week’s episode of Conversations, I break down the crucial difference between renting and owning your vision and calling as a leader. Using the parables of Jesus in Matthew 25 and John 10, I explore what it means to take extreme ownership of your role and why many leaders fail due to a lack of personal responsibility. Learn how to shift from a renter who simply uses resources to an owner who maximizes them, and discover how ownership can transform your leadership and impact.

Is your church running like a flawless machine but missing the presence of the Holy Spirit? In this episode of Conversation, we unpack what it means to drift into becoming a “Robot Church”—where systems, structure, and efficiency take the driver’s seat instead of spiritual responsiveness and authentic leadership.

We’ll walk through the key symptoms of a machine-like church: leadership misalignment, mechanics over ministry, protecting systems instead of following the Spirit, and the absence of true pastoral presence. More importantly, we’ll offer practical steps for leaders who want to unplug the machine and build a church that’s not just excellent, but Spirit-filled and alive with God’s presence.

Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, or someone who cares about the health of the local church, this conversation will give you both insight and tools to lead with authenticity, presence, and power.

If you're wondering whether you’re called to be a pioneer or just want the comfort of the crowd, this episode will challenge your perspective on leadership and purpose.

In this episode, I break down one of the most misunderstood ideas in church leadership: honor. I’m talking about what it really means—and what it doesn’t. A lot of people confuse honor with silence, control, or blind loyalty. That’s not it. I share five things honor is and five things it absolutely isn’t. We get into character, identity, and how to challenge authority the right way. Just because you’re not in charge doesn’t mean you’re called to be quiet. This is for pastors, church staff, and anyone who wants to lead with integrity, not manipulation.
