Reaching For Remarkable Podcast

In this episode of the Slingshot Group Podcast, our co-hosts, David Miller, Vance Martin, and Brian Taylor, explore the idea of solving problems creatively. Currently, the Church is facing challenges we never foresaw coming and we don’t have a handbook to help us navigate them. Vance has a conversation with Kelvin Co,  a genius when it comes to creativity and problem solving. Kelvin has served in multiple churches and the marketplace as a creative communicator and problem solver for over two decades. Together, they talk through many of the problems we’re facing right now,  as well as new perspectives on bringing brilliant and effective solutions to the unique challenges of this current season.

In these shifting times, organizations need leaders who can adapt quickly to their team and culture. Investing in new staff members from the onset will help you avoid the most common mistakes people make when they begin a new role. Studies show that how someone navigates their first 90 days determines the value they bring to the team and organization in the long-term. Why is this window of time so critical for new hires to get onboarded and start well? In episode three of the Slingshot Group Podcast, our co-hosts explore the most common mistakes new hires make (and how to avoid them).

In the season 4 opener of the Slingshot Group Podcast, our co-hosts, David Miller, Vance Martin, and Brian Taylor, unpack the importance of spiritual formation in the life of a leader. Is it possible to keep up with the demands of ministry while maintaining a vibrant relationship with God? That’s the question that Vance explores when he sits down for a compelling interview with Dr. Jan Johnson. Dr. Johnson is the author of twenty books, including When The Soul Listens, and more than a thousand magazine articles and Bible Studies. As a spiritual guide, her life’s work has been instrumental in helping Christians rediscover the joy of living as sons and daughters of God.
