Anytime a Christian leader begins to work toward a goal, one's ambition always comes into question. The Kindling Team takes a look at this idea alongside Patrick Cone, the Director of Discipleship at Kanakuk Kamps, as we heavily weigh the words of J. Oswald Sanders calling for ambition to be "honorable." Listen in this week, and see how leaders can campaign for the Lord, rather than the world, in their work!

Every person at some point wonders what they will do with their life. If you are one of those people today, or are simply seeking to find a better understanding of your current state, Kindling is here to help you with answers! Jake Talbert, accounting extraordinaire and Assistant Director at Kanakuk K-Kountry, joins Shay on the show this week, and seeks to help you know yourself and grow yourself! Listen in to hear a message that is always timely and always necessary!

What embarrassing failures do you have in your past? Do you think they are just trophies to bring up as a story to tell a couple of times? Kindling with Shay Robbins is here and ready to tell you that there's so much more to them than that... Instead, listen in this week to hear how great leaders can turn what seem to be utter defeats into future successes and fantastic opportunities!

Shay is joined on the show by John Scott IV, Lead Director of Kids Across America's high-school camp, KAA 3! On the show, the duo discusses tangible leadership: a concept foreign to some but insurmountably important to building relationships within leadership positions. Listen in this week for a call to excellence, a challenge for authenticity, and a high-energy conversation!

The Kindling with Shay Robbins Team is joined by Ward Wiebe, director of Kanakuk K-West, to discuss the stance of our heart and its effect on our leadership. Examples of athletes, ships, and especially the Word of God lead us to see one of the most crucial steps for emerging leaders, as Shay and Ward offer phenomenal insight into Gospel-based leadership! Tune in this week to lead by what is eternal!

When leaders lack purpose, their vision can be clouded and their leadership ability complicated. Shay and Lindsay Rother, Assistant Women's Director at K-West and creator of "Rotherisms," speak on today's episode of Kindling to promote the best use of time in one's leading. By having clear goals and the will to carry them out, leaders can un-complicate life and value their team better and better!

Shay and Brad Mooney, a man of many titles including teacher, leader, and cancer survivor, sit down and discuss how one uses HOPE throughout their leadership. As someone who had only the hope of Jesus to hold onto while battling Burkitt lymphoma, Brad's insight into hopeful leadership is not only incredibly life-giving, but incredibly personal. Tune in to this week's episode of Kindling and be stretched, challenged, and renewed by the HOPE that is found in the Cross!

Grit in leadership might seem like it takes a tough or calloused leader to obtain, but this week's installment of Kindling with Shay Robbins shows how that may be a misconception! Join us in listening to Shay interview Rachel Sparks, a current Kanakuk Kamps K-Kountry director, as they discuss how one might get into the details and gritty parts of being a leader. Even John Wayne doesn't have this level of "True Grit!"

This week on Kindling with Shay Robbins, Grant Gaines joins us in the studio! As a long-time friend and acclaimed "Bible Answer Man 2.0", Grant brings not only his leadership experience but scripture to lead others to better knowledge of how to forge a culture of Biblical leadership. Listen in, as the duo of Shay and Grant bear their scars and authentically encourage one another toward Christ!

Shay sits down this week with Dan Rikard, a business leader and attorney, to hammer through Dan's principles of leadership. These principles were compiled to guide a healthy and productive workplace, which is exactly what results in a people dedicated to them! Listen in this week to be called to an even higher standard, and stick around toward the end for one of our craziest studio moments yet...
