Brent Hatchett is a 20 30 s pastor in Cornerstone Church Chandler Az . In this episode, Brent shares his journey of discovering his true calling in life. After studying broadcast journalism, he landed his first job as a sophomore in college and had three years of professional experience before he even graduated. However, his friend Jamar's question, "Do you want to be Kobe Bryant or Jerry Buss?" made him rethink his career goals. 

He went into media sales after graduation because every exec he talked to told him that he needed to understand the sales background to own a TV station. However, after nine months, he discovered that he hated media sales. So he decided to learn about how money works by getting a job at a bank. He stayed in finance for the next seven years but never loved it. He was just doing it.

But Brent is a living testimony of how God can give you things you don't even deserve. He failed every math class but passed the Series 7 exam, which allowed him to sell securities. So, even though he didn't love his job, God gave him grace and enabled him to excel in his work.

Despite still not having a clear vision for his future, Brent had a praying grandmother who took him to church as a child. He got saved at 16 years old, but it wasn't until much later that he felt a calling to plant a church. Brent explained that he grew up in a context where the majority of black churches were led by pastors who were more traditional and not always open to change. He knew he wanted to do something different, but he didn't know what that would look like.

It wasn't until Brent's wife challenged him to think about what he wanted his legacy to be that he began to consider planting a church. He knew he wanted to make an impact on his community and provide a safe space for people to come together and worship. He also wanted to break down the traditional barriers that often exist in churches and create a place where people from all walks of life could come together.

Brent discusses how to overcome challenges and find peace with God. They discuss how surrendering to Jesus, surrounding oneself with encouraging and accountable people, and learning lessons from past experiences are crucial in getting out of a pit and finding freedom. They also emphasize the importance of asking God what he wants from us each day, rather than focusing on what we can get from him. The guest shares how he reframed his personal questions from self-centered to God-centered, and how this helped him find greater clarity in his spiritual walk.

Brent's story is a reminder that finding one's true calling takes time and effort. Sometimes, it involves trying out different things and discovering what you don't like. But it's also a reminder that God can use our experiences and gifts to lead us to our calling, even if we don't know what it is yet.

In today's episode, we're taking a break from our usual guest format to dive into a fascinating topic that has been resonating with me lately: the power of synchronicity and how it has shaped my life and career.

Throughout my journey in the automobile business, from sales to management roles, I've always been drawn to leadership development. Inspired by the energy and passion of Tony Robbins and the teachings of John Maxwell, I began to integrate leadership lessons into my sales training programs. However, it wasn't until the pandemic hit that I started to see the bigger picture and the crucial role leadership plays in personal growth and business success.

In this episode, I'll share with you the exciting news about my upcoming book, "Keep The Change," which explores the 12 Steps of Recovery as a path to personal development and leadership. I'll also discuss how my involvement in founding a Celebrate Recovery group at my church helped me realize the need for stronger leaders in both the ministry and the automotive industry.

We'll also dive into the importance of authenticity and the power of the Jahari Window in understanding our strengths, weaknesses, blind spots, and untapped potential. By increasing our self-awareness and being honest with ourselves, we can raise our potential and become more effective leaders and team members.

As we embark on this transformative journey, we'll explore the ten crucial chapters in personal development, ranging from influence, priorities, character, positive change, problem-solving, attitude, serving people, vision, self-discipline, and personal growth.

We'll also delve into the five levels of leadership - position, permission, production, people development, and pinnacle - and understand how nurturing these qualities can help us build stronger teams, weather economic storms, and ultimately succeed in our personal and professional lives.

Tune in as I delve into the importance of developing the leader within you and how embracing the power of synchronicity can lead to personal and professional growth. We'll explore the concept of focusing on "The One Thing," as mentioned in Gary Keller's book, and how this singular focus can make all other distractions unnecessary. Discover how finding congruency in your life can open up a world of opportunities and help you develop as a leader.

You can also check out my book, "Keep The Change," and pre-order it at a discounted price by visiting KeepTheChangeBook.org.

So, if you're ready to embrace the power of synchronicity and harness it to transform your life, hit play and join me on this inspiring journey of self-discovery and leadership development!

Life is full of twists and turns. It can be hard to imagine that we can come back from the darkest places, but it's possible. This is the story of a man who hit rock bottom and found his way back through faith and rebuilding, Jeremy Hart.

Jeremy Hart reflects on how he came to know Jesus through a series of unexpected people and events. From his father-in-law to a stranger on a plane and two minor league baseball players, the people who brought him to Jesus were not what he would have expected. But as he says, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

Despite coming to know Jesus, he struggled to internalize that relationship. Instead, he viewed it as head knowledge and didn't let it penetrate his heart. He ended up becoming successful in the financial world but without the emotional or spiritual compass he needed to navigate the highs and lows. He ended up leaving his mentor and starting his own program, which ultimately led to disastrous consequences.

He became obsessed with success and keeping up appearances, to the point where he took huge risks and made illegal decisions to maintain the facade. He was so desperate to be valued by those around him that he lost sight of what was truly important.

It was only when he hit rock bottom, attempting to take his own life, that he realized that he needed to change his ways. He found redemption through faith and rebuilding his life. It wasn't an easy road, but he learned that it's never too late to turn things around.

Through his journey, he learned the importance of humility and taking responsibility for his actions. He also learned to lean on his faith and trust in God, even in the darkest of times.

Life is full of twists and turns, but it's how we respond to those challenges that defines us. Jeremy's story is a reminder that no matter how far we fall, we can always pick ourselves back up and find a way forward. Through faith and a willingness to change, we can find redemption and rebuild our lives.
