New year, new look, new perspective, new season... same Leading Second.

We are back with season 4 of the Leading Second Podcast and we’ll be bringing you new episodes every Thursday this Spring!! This first episode of the season is dropping on Leading Second’s fourth birthday and we couldn’t have lined up a better guest to get things kicked off and started on the right foot.

Our guest today has become such a great friend to me, as well as anybody who regularly listens to this podcast. He is a campus pastor at Elevation Church, a team builder, and honestly one of the absolute best second chair leaders in the world. Our conversation today is with the one and only, Larry Brey.

Things look different today than they did a year ago. We’ve gone through a season of change unlike most of us have ever experienced before. Things that used to work, no longer work anymore. The needs people have right now, are not the needs that we were addressing a year ago. The solutions that we had for problems, need to be adjusted now. And things that seemed so important, we’ve realized, are maybe not quite as pressing.

So… Where do we go from here??

That is the big question that we tackle today. With everything that has gone on and everything that has changed, what now? Pastor Larry is filled with so much wisdom, and this episode is packed with great takeaways that will help navigate this season of life and ministry.

Some of the questions that we tackle in this episode are:

How have things changed?

What good do you see that this season has brought out of leaders and the local church?

What do you think the leaders who will thrive in the coming season look like?

What would you say to the leader who is experiencing alignment issues right now?

Pastor Larry even opens up a lot about some of his own struggles this past year. So if you’ve felt isolated in this past year or like you’re facing challenges by yourself, know that you’re not alone in any of this. We’d love for you to join our community and tribe on Facebook because we are all better together.

If you get nothing else out of this episode, be sure to catch Pastor Larry’s prayer for second chair leaders towards the end of the episode. He is somebody who prays continually for people in our shoes.

I hope this episode leaves you encouraged.

Until next week, let's run strong and in health.
