In this episode, we explore how true innovation begins with honesty, grows through collaboration, and comes to life through structure and systems. Drawing from Scripture and practical insight, you’ll learn how to build what is good, true, and lasting instead of settling for shortcuts or control.

WEEKLY REFLECTION:

• WAVE 1: Truth: What old mindset or practice do I need to let go of so that a new idea or solution can emerge in my life or work?
• WAVE 2: Collaboration: Who are the specific people I need to invite into the process to help refine and support this idea, and what steps will I take to engage them?
• WAVE 3: Momentum: What one practical action can I take this week to either start, stop, or improve something, moving my idea forward?

Every leader negotiates in daily life, at home, at work, and in moments that test conviction and character. In this episode, we look at how Jesus modeled a different kind of influence when He called His followers to be shrewd as snakes and innocent as doves. You will learn how to approach negotiation with wisdom and peace, pursue vision even when resources feel limited, and build trust instead of chasing quick wins. 

WEEKLY REFLECTION:

• Am I focusing more on what I can get, or what I can give?
• What unspoken fears are fueling my need to ‘win’ here?
• How could I discover a both/and solution instead of locking us into either/or?

In a world full of power plays and manipulation, real leadership stands out. In this episode, we explore how to lead when everyone else seems to be playing “wolf games.” Jesus’ command to be shrewd as snakes and innocent as doves offers a powerful model for influence that combines wisdom with love. Through examples from Scripture, you’ll learn what it means to lead decisively, bring clarity in confusion, and step forward in courage when it would be easier to hold back.

WEEKLY REFLECTION:

• Where in my life am I currently waiting for others to take the lead, and how can I step forward instead—being the cause, not the effect?
• When faced with resistance or differing viewpoints, am I attempting to “correct” people, or am I seeking ways to “complete” and build on what they already believe?
• Where in my life and leadership do I need to “witness them” rather than saying to them “witness me”?

In this episode, we explore what it means to lead both shrewdly and innocently, combining strategy with purity of heart. You will learn four key practices that shape Kingdom-minded leadership: holding paradox, recognizing patterns, focusing on the small, and pursuing curiosity.

WEEKLY REFLECTION:

• Where am I noticing tension or “an electric middle” in my life right now, and how can I stay with it instead of avoiding it?
• What patterns keep showing up (in my work, relationships, or personal habits), and which small, subtle changes could have a big impact?
• In my daily routine, how can I remain open to surprises and discern if they’re interruptions or invitations to learn something new?

In a world driven by power plays and control, Jesus calls us to a different kind of leadership: wise as serpents and innocent as doves. This episode explores what it means to lead with both strategy and purity, staying clear-eyed without becoming cynical and pure-hearted without being naive. Through Scripture and a practical four-part framework of Return, Imagine, Emerge, and Expand, you’ll learn how to build a Kingdom vision that keeps you grounded, discerning, and free from the world’s games.

WEEKLY REFLECTION:

• Where in your life are you playing it safe instead of imagining bigger possibilities (i.e., settling for a “cruising altitude”)?
• What is one specific “wolf scenario” you are facing—and how can you respond with both wise (serpent-like) strategy and pure (dove-like) motives?
• Who could offer “world-class instruction” or guidance in this season, and how will you seek them out?
