Driven to Lead Podcast

Day to day we have the opportunity to interact with and impact a variety of people. These people may be looking for guidance, encouragement, a listening ear, or to simply be acknowledged and told they have value. In this session, we look at how we can engage those around us in order to positively impact their life through leadership, mentorship, and encouragement.

We all desire to feel secure in every area of our life – whether it's basic needs, a job, our family, or community. We tend to focus on these desires from a worldy perspective, rather than trusting God to provide. In this session, we spotlight putting faith in God for our protection and provision versus trying to manufacture our own security.

Walking in unforgiveness can take a toll on us physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. However, we can choose to forgive, just as God forgave us, and free ourselves of the torment. In this session, Dr. Bruce Hebel, from Forgiving Forward, shares life stories and practical steps for moving forward in forgiveness.

In the midst of everyday struggles, it can seem like God is distant and uninterested in our lives. Does He hear me? How can I hear Him? In this session, we interview David Adams, a retired corporate consultant. He walks us through his journey to overcome cancer and pain; and shares how experiencing God’s love and hearing God’s voice transformed his life.

Why do you do what you do? Are you driven by a specific motivation, looking for status, or desiring security for yourself and your family? Perhaps your profession is merely a job for getting by and paying the bills. In this session, we look at our profession from God’s point of view and how we can align it with the gifts, talents, and purpose that He has given us.

Why did God create us? From the day we are born, we are all on a journey to determine our purpose in life. For many of us, we don’t realize that we all share a common purpose that is then applied at an individual level in our work, family, and community. In this session, we discover the God given purpose we all share which is to be fruitful, love others, lead by example, and impact those around us for the kingdom of God.

Oftentimes we let our identity be defined by what the world says about our status in society, our job, our stuff, and our family life. We let these things determine our level of fulfillment, joy, and abundance. But what happens when these things fall apart? In this session, we learn what it means to have an identity defined by God’s view of us: that we are loved, treasured, chosen, made in God’s image, and heirs with His Son, Jesus; and how these are definitions that do not change in times of crisis.

Everyday we face countless choices; some are common everyday choices, such as lunch or what to wear, and others are life changing, such as where to work or who to marry. Through these choices we shape what we follow, who we serve, where we belong, and who we become. In this session, we dive into understanding the truth about how God sees us and how our perspective of God impacts our life choices.

Just like words, our actions have an impact on those around us. How we treat others reveals our attitude, our ego, humility level, leadership qualities, and our ability to be selfish or selfless. In this session, we discuss allowing humility to define our ego and how to walk out compassion, patience, and kindness as a servant leader in our family and community.

Spoken and unspoken words, especially from family and friends, have a lasting emotional, mental, and spiritual impact on our lives. These positive and negative words mold who we become and shape what we think of ourselves. In this session, we break down the root source of our words and look at how transforming our heart renews our mind.
