My subject today is one of the most important lessons in leadership. While this is so, it is also one of the most sobering lessons about life and leadership. No one is exempt from this lesson. What is this lesson? Here it is, and it is the title of Podcast 86: Leadership Is a Stewardship, and All Leadership Is Temporary. From the best leaders to the poorest leadership, this lesson is relevant. Leadership Is A Stewardship, and All Leadership Is Temporary.

Did you know you have some level of influence upon other people? God wants to use your influence to help bring change to occur in other people and in your organization. Stay tuned my friend, we are going to talk today about: Using Your Influence to Inspire Change to occur.

In this compelling episode, Ronnie Floyd dives into the practical and biblical actions required to see true change take place in our lives. Through thoughtful teaching and real-life application, he reminds us that transformation begins with obedience and faith. This is a powerful conversation that will challenge your thinking and inspire you to pursue lasting change—don’t miss it!

Communication is a major challenge in any relationship. 

FAMILY: SPOUSE, CHILDREN, PARENTS.

FRIENDSHIPS: COMMUNICATION CAN BE EASILY MISUNDERSTOOD. 

WORKPLACE: TECHNOLOGY IS HOW SO MUCH COMMUNICATION IS DONE; SO THESE WAYS VIA TEXTING OR EMAIL CAN BE TERRIBLY MISUNDERSTOOD. 

CHURCH: MAY BE ONE OF THE PLACES AND PEOPLE WHERE COMMUNICATION IS MANY TIMES INEFFECTIVE AND CHALLENGING. 

Often, our communication with God is also ineffective and transactional. However, our communication with God should be meaningful and transformative. 

There are times when I want to ask you to come, sit down with me, and let’s talk together. Today, on this 82nd episode of this podcast, I want to accomplish this with you: SHARING MY HEART WITH YOU. Tell a friend. Share it with them. Stay tuned. I am Ronnie Floyd. Welcome to our podcast today. Hello friends, I am back with you today, in person, after a one-week trip to the UK. So much has happened this past week and even is happening today across the world. On my 82nd podcast episode of our For Leaders Podcast, I want to share my heart with you. In fact, the title of this podcast that I want to encourage you to share with friends and social media outlets is: SHARING MY HEART WITH YOU.

The reason I want to do this today is to talk through a few of my own thoughts, but I also believe this will help you consider your own thoughts about these things and also help you consider other things in your life and the world we share together in our time. So here we go…

As many of you know, I am serving in this season as the Interim Pastor of Grand Avenue Baptist Church in Fort Smith, Arkansas — a historic and faithful congregation with a rich legacy of gospel ministry. It is a true honor to serve the people who call Grand Avenue home. This past Sunday, I delivered a message entitled “Jesus’ Vision for Our Life and Church.” While this sermon was prepared with the people of Grand Avenue and the Fort Smith community specifically in mind, its message speaks to every believer and every church. I want to use this episode of the For Leader podcast to share it with you. I invite you to watch or listen and ask the Lord to speak to you through His Word. May He align our hearts with His vision for our lives and His Church.

Whatever your occupation and vocation may be, you need to consider this subject today very seriously and strategically. Most of you who listen to or watch this podcast are followers of Jesus Christ; therefore, walking with the Lord should be one of the greatest desires in your life. If you are a genuine follower of Jesus, you know already how much Jesus Christ makes a difference in your life. Therefore, it is imperative that we have a conversation this week about “Walking With The Lord.” Please share this podcast with every Jesus follower you know, regardless of what their occupation or vocation may be. 

One of the most important subjects in the Scriptures is our subject this week: “Walking With The Lord.” Colossians 2:6 says,  “As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.” A walk with Jesus Christ unfolds step by step and decision by decision. While some parts of this walk are due to God’s activity in our lives, the other parts should be us initiating this walk with the Lord daily. In fact, it should deepen and become even more disciplined as you mature in Christ. 

Have you ever stopped to think about this question: Can God trust you? Not just with blessings… but with responsibility, influence, and purpose? In this episode, we will explore the mystery of why God chooses us—I mean, none of us are perfect—and consider how He entrusts us with His work, and what it really means to be faithful in everyday life. Join me as we uncover THE MYSTERY OF TRUST — and ask the question that could change everything—CAN GOD TRUST YOU? Introduction: Welcome to today’s episode—episode 80 of our For Leaders Podcast. Please pass this along to friends and colleagues around the world. Post it on social media, and please rate our podcast so others will subscribe.

I have long believed in the value and blessing of relationships. Yet I am very aware of the challenges and complexities of relationships, and I completely realize they can be highly rewarding and fulfilling. 

Every person is different. They have various gifts, many preferences, and are sometimes completely unaware of their own weaknesses. People communicate in different ways, and sometimes their methods can make things even more complicated. 

This is why we need to remember the tremendous insight I learned from a former seminary professor of mine, who is now in heaven. Dr. Oscar Thompson used to say: “The gospel of Jesus Christ travels on the tracks of relationships.” This is also true about love. Love travels on the tracks of a relationship. 

Do you ever feel like your future is a mystery to you? Be encouraged: What you don't know, God already knows. The Mystery of Your Future is our topic for podcast 78. Join us. My name is Ronnie Floyd. Welcome to our podcast today. 

The mystery of your future will always be on your horizon and in your range of interest. Each of us is on a journey toward the future. Many times, this journey captivates our attention. It is inescapable. We do not know the joys and victories ahead of us, or even the disappointments and losses we will face. But, they will be real and impact us in multiple ways. Do you ever feel like your future is a mystery to you? Be encouraged: What you don't know, God already knows. Yet, even at times, we find ourselves in seasons of uncertainty about the future. The uncertainties may be due to changes in life, job losses, career changes, or even people who impacted us greatly.  Emotions come into your life in a way like never before.
