UNSCRIPTED with Dino Rizzo

Steve Robinson, Baton Rouge, LA


Listen Later

We’re kicking off 2026 with a conversation every pastor, leader, and church planter needs.

On the first Unscripted episode of the year, Pastor Dino Rizzo sits down with Pastor Steve Robinson (Church of the King) in Louisiana for an honest, practical discussion on Soul Leadership and how unprocessed trauma can quietly hijack a leader’s emotions, decision-making, and relationships.

This episode is full of wisdom, grace, and real help for anyone who feels like they’re “fine” on the outside but running on fumes inside.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • Why there’s a difference between being tired and being traumatized
  • How leaders can slip into hypervigilance, irritability, numbness, and overreaction without realizing what’s happening
  • The “stress continuum” (green / yellow / red) and how to know what zone you’re in
  • How to build resilience before crisis hits, not after
  • Why “break the silence” is often the first step toward healing
  • The hope of post-traumatic growth…a real “2.0” on the other side of a hard season

Pastor Steve’s newest book, “Soul Leadership” (releasing January 27) is the foundation for much of the conversation. And it’s aimed at helping leaders rebound from crisis, grow resilience, and live from wholeness.

Let’s start 2026 the right way…not just with better goals, but with a healthier soul.
