Life & Leadership with Kevin Gerald

In this episode, we continue the conversation from It Takes a Team and focus on why Mindset Matters. After 40 years of leading teams, Pastor Kevin explores the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset — and how the way we think shapes how we lead, learn, and move forward. From seeing obstacles as opportunities, to receiving feedback as a gift, to learning from mistakes instead of being defined by them, this episode is a practical guide to building resilient, and improving teams.

In this episode of Life & Leadership with Kevin Gerald, we unpack the true meaning of alignment—drawing from the phalanx formation in ancient Greek armies and the power of unified teams. Pastor Kevin shares why silence can work against the mission, how clarity fuels confidence, and why being in the same room doesn’t always mean being on the same page.

In this episode of Life & Leadership with Kevin Gerald, we are tackling one of the biggest traps leaders face: “The Myth of Doing It Alone.” Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “It’s easier if I do it myself,” or “If I want it done right, I have to be the one doing it”? These thoughts can keep you stuck doing instead of leading. Through the story of Moses in Exodus 18, Kevin unpacks how carrying the weight alone limits growth and how learning to build teams unlocks greater impact—for your church, your home, and your business. If you want to win big, it takes a team.

What makes a good team great? Today we’re talking about teaming—the art of working together to achieve a common goal. Talent alone isn’t enough; the best teams are built on three essential traits: trust, selflessness, and alignment.

Whether in your workplace, family, church, or community, these principles can help individuals work together as a team. If you’re ready to grow as a leader, strengthen your team, and discover what it takes to win together, this episode is for you.

Here at Team Church, we talk about culture often. Now more than ever before, being a culture carrier matters. Culture is either created by design or by default. 

Here are some questions we will discuss in this episode today:

• What is different about the culture conversation now? 
• What does it look like for a leader to be a culture carrier?
• What areas of your team have slipped that need to be evaluated? 

We encourage you to continue the conversation and discuss these questions even further with your teams!

Team Church Code

We've started an important conversation that represents some new language for church leaders today. On the last episode, we talked about how leadership rises and falls on three distinctives. These three things are leadership essentials you'll never get away from. Everything will fit under these three areas when it comes to being an effective leader. 

In this episode, we're going to focus on Core Competence. These are the fundamental skills and practices of a great leadership team. Let's dive into these areas and discover how we can improve both individually and collectively as a team.
