Leading Second Podcast

We are back to Season Three of the Leading Second podcast!! It is our honor to lead this tribe of UNCOMMON leaders. In this season, we believe that UNCOMMON leaders have never been so essential.

We're picking back up with a conversation about the differences in Rebuilding vs. Reopening. It is a conversation for teams, not just individuals. So share this episode and don't listen alone.

A bit has happened since our last episode, so we start things off with a little hello, share a few announcements, and some thoughts we had during our break. But if you want to jump right into the episode, it starts at 10:25.

Are you just reopening, or are you rebuilding? With all of the challenges that churches are facing today, how you answer that question could determine a lot about how effective your ministry is right now. The lens that you choose to look through could be making a difference in your ministry and church. So join me today as we talk through five observations that I have from the book of Ezra. I hope and pray that these help you frame this season correctly and bring strength to you and your teams!

We'd love to have you join in and continue this conversation at the Leading Second Collective on Facebook.

We sit down with Julian Lowe to have a crucial conversation. Joined by some of our favorite Leading Second leaders, we ask Julian for wisdom in a pivotal time in history. He gives us his perspective on race relations in the church and how to navigate supporting our pastor through this season.

The best leadership opportunity you'll ever have is leading the person you see in the mirror. To make this dream a reality you'll have to get in the leadership gym. While it's tempting to want everything to go "back to normal", we shouldn't try to leave this season prematurely. In difficult times our faith is forced out in the open and shows its true colors. What if this is exactly where God wants to do his work and lead you into a personal revival?

When job descriptions change and routines are flipped upside down, what do pastors expect from their team? This week we sit down with Pastor Kevin during the COVID-19 pandemic to see things from the pastor's perspective, as we continue our series on how to have a personal revival. During what may be the biggest transition in our lifetime, Pastor Kevin gives us the lead pastor perspective.

We're back! After a brief hiatus, the Leading Second is back for several weeks with some fresh content and perspective for all of us leading in this very critical time. There's no doubt in our minds that this season has been very recalibrating for all of us as leaders. We've put together several episodes that we pray will speak into your soul as a leader as we move forward into all that God has next for His Church! Welcome back to Season Three of the Leading Second Podcast.

In that spirit, today's episode is the beginning of a series we're calling How to Have a Personal Revival. We all want to see God do something significant in our churches in this season. We're believing for nothing short of revival in the local church as a result of our current crisis. In today's episode, Brandon offers us a simple challenge - revival starts with me! He offers a strong and compelling perspective on this season we believe will speak to you and challenge you in your daily life.

This week, we had an online meet-up and incredible conversation with Larry Brey from Elevation Church. He is undoubtedly one of the best second chair leaders in the world, and it is our absolute honor every time we get a chance to have his voice in our tribe. He brings so much wisdom and timely advice in our current climate.

We couldn’t let this conversation just be a one time deal, so we’re releasing it on the podcast this week. That means that we can all go back and listen again, or get some notes that we missed if you were with us for the meet-up. There was so much to take away from this conversation, so get ready to take notes and prepare your heart. This is a conversation that will impact you greatly right now if you allow it.

How blessed are we to lead in a season like never before for our generation? We are truly in the local church’s greatest hour, despite the rampant fear, anxiety, and confusion that swirls around us, and quite possibly within us. Isaac Newton was faced with a similar situation in 1665 - and while sitting in his garden at home, an apple fell from a tree. The rest was history. Have you asked yourself the question of what good could come of this season? Of this situation? Not only for the church but for yourself. Point blank: Our pastors need us more than ever before - but what do they need exactly? Remember, first and foremost, we are all in this together!

Join us for a bold locker room episode as Brandon Stewart shares with us a short guide on how to lead in these unprecedented times.

Have you ever been on an airplane? If you have, you’ve experienced functional leadership. The flight attendants have authority over you from the second that you step on that airplane. It doesn’t matter how smart you are, how much money you make, or even if you may know more about airplanes than the flight attendants. None of that matters. The flight attendants have been given authority over you for that flight, even though the pilot (or the airline) is the one who is ultimately responsible. In ministry, we will often be tasked with being submitted to a person who has functional authority over us, and we’ll likely have functional authority over somebody as well. How do we handle that tension in a healthy way?

Join us for this week’s episode, as we sit down with Brandon and Lindsay Stewart, Kris Seibold, and Joshua Bingle to continue the conversation on the tension of authority vs submission.

Head over to our digital magazine for some monthly questions on this tension.

Am I a leader or a follower? Do I take charge or do I sit back? Do I forge a new path or do I make a u-turn?

If you are leading from the middle, the answer to all of these questions is yes. Yes, you lead. Yes, you follow. Yes, there are times where you are expected to take charge. Yes, there are times when you need to sit back. A lot of times, the answer is even yes, to both questions at the same time! This is the tension that we face of being in a place of authority vs. being in a place of submission. Leading from the middle will require you to live in both worlds frequently and be able to switch between both with ease. As we introduce this topic that we will be exploring all month long, our prayer is that God will use this topic to bring health to teams in the areas of authority and submission.

Head over to our digital magazine for some monthly questions on this tension.

https://www.leadingsecond.com/post/authority-vs-submission-discussion-questions

We're joined by Lindsay Stewart and Pastor Joshua Bingle for a discussion in a new panel format. When leading from the middle, we encounter numerous tensions that we are forced to navigate. However, just because tension exists doesn't mean that there's a problem. Let's learn how to manage tensions well. Discuss these questions with your team:

1. What is the greatest tension you are currently experiencing in your leadership journey?

2. Can you imagine God doing something good through this tension? Write down what you are believing God to do in your life through this situation.

3. The next time you experience this tension, what truth do you want to remember? Write down a verse that speaks truth over your situation, and put it somewhere memorable.
