Leading Second: Walk With Me

What if the greatest expression of ownership isn’t how you start, but how you finish?

In this episode of Walk With Me, Brandon and Lindsay Stewart explore what may be the most overlooked part of leadership: finishing well. From leading teams and navigating transitions to releasing something you have poured your heart into, they unpack the “final act” of ownership and why it matters so much.

With personal stories and a biblical perspective, they talk about detaching your identity from your assignment, cheering for who’s next, and trusting God with what you have built.

If you are facing a transition or want to be ready for one, this conversation will help you lead with clean hands, a pure heart, and a mindset that leaves a legacy, not landmines.

Join Brandon and Jody Franke (Keystone Church, Keller, TX) on their walk as they discuss the importance of building trust through transparency with our leaders. We’re reminded that our calling is first and foremost to Christ, but often manifests through following Godly leaders. Let’s take a walk.

Brandon and Lindsay Stewart discuss transitions in the church. Change is an inevitable part of our spiritual journey, and while transitions can be challenging, they don't have to be destructive. By choosing to honor God's house and seeking unity, even in difficult transitions, we position ourselves to receive His blessings and guidance.

In our fast-paced world, we often grapple with the question: Is being busy inherently bad? This week, Brandon reflects on the story of Mary and Martha, reminding us that, while sitting at Jesus’ feet is crucial, there’s also value in Martha’s service. We’re encouraged to examine our motives for busyness and to maintain a delicate balance between action and contemplation.

Welcome to our first episode of Walk With Me with Brandon and Lindsay Stewart. In new this series, we explore the profound importance of having someone to walk alongside us in our spiritual journey. Just as God recognized that it was not good for man to be alone in Genesis, we, too, are created for community. In today’s conversation, with the help of Larry Brey (Elevation Church), we delve into the transformative power of mentorship and the value of seeking out those who are living the life we aspire to.
