 In this episode, Pastor Lee sits with Pastor Josh Needham to discuss burnout, even though Pastor Lee doesn't believe in burnout. Josh, who has been in ministry for 21 years at Victory Life Church, has seen some people come and go, as staff and as members of the congregation. In this episode, Josh and Lee share their perspective on burnout and some really helpful insight for both leader and listener. 

Life is hard. Some people understand this more than others, but how we internalize it and respond to it determines the level of success we will experience. In this episode, Pastor Lee sits down with Pastor Colton Coffey to discuss what a proper measured response to adversity should be and the benefits of seeing challenges as potential launching pads for us. 

Change is difficult but also inevitable. So why do we resist it so much? As Christians under the Lordship of Jesus and in our devotion to follow Him, we will inevitably come to a place of will: will we continue to follow or will we resist? In this episode, Pastor Zach Backues, who, along with his family, was led by the Lord to move, shares their personal journey of transition and simple but refreshing insight into understanding that living things grow. 

 In this episode, I invite Pastor Connor Harrison, the Youth Pastor at Victory Life Church in Durant, to discuss leadership across generations. 

Unfortunately, the chasm between our Christian life on a Sunday and our careers during the week has only grown in the last few years. This fracture occurred partly because of a dramatic rise in hostility towards Christianity, but perhaps also because our method was limited or shortsighted. Because of the perceived resistance, we retreated, opting for dramatic compartmentalization. But what if, rather than separate the two, we begin to look at uniting them in a way that is more effective than the methods we have used in the past? What if the environment is primed for followers of Jesus to have an impact outside the walls of the church? In this episode of the Lee Speaks Podcast, I am joined by my friend Crystal Maynard, who has been living with integrity in the marketplace, in her time as a licensed counselor, and in her various leadership roles at First United Bank.
