Have you ever had someone point something out, like a sound, smell, or sight, that you hadn’t noticed before, but once they did, it was so glaringly obvious you aren’t sure how you missed it?

In this episode Barron and Rayna discuss one such discovery…about trash cans. It was a revelation about a small thing but it had an outsized impact on their organizational culture. Barron explains their systematic evaluation process, and how you can use it to find your trash cans.

The story revolves around place to put garbage, but the message focuses on how to find that ONE thing you need. The thing that, once found, ends up being a key element you didn’t even know was missing. 

If you want to keep missing the obvious, skip this episode; otherwise, buckle up for an insightful time with Barron and Rayna.

Why is delegation important in organizational leadership? It's far more than just getting someone else to do the work. Barron and Rayna discuss effective delegation and why it's essential for growth and success. They share personal experiences and insights, highlighting the value of creating a culture of excellence and developing a team that can operate without the leader's constant presence.

Join us in this incredible conversation about the art of delegation.

We didn’t just walk off the Ark; our church organization should reflect this fact. How do you incorporate contemporary culture without compromising biblical foundations? 

Pastors Barron Longstreth and Terry Shock explore the crucial topic of establishing a biblically-centered culture within a church setting.

Pastor Shock identifies the group of people who are most responsible for the success or failure of the organization. He also reveals the #1 roadblock to a biblically-centered culture. Spoiler Alert: It’s not the devil.

This fantastic conversation delves into the challenges, pitfalls, and responsibilities that leaders face in navigating this journey. The answers are simple, but that doesn’t make them easy.

How do you recognize the need for change? Change can be painful, but it's nowhere near as painful as being stuck in a place you don't belong.

On this episode, Barron Longstreth and Jeff Ralston, lead pastor of First Pentecostal Church of Lake Charles, discuss distinguishing the difference between embracing change for relevance and compromising core beliefs, identifying key indicators for organizational change, providing spiritual and emotional support for leaders during times of change, and effectively addressing the "why" in leadership communication.

When is the best time to have a life-changing transformative moment? How about driving in small-town Oklahoma? Barron and Rayna Longstreth co-host the inaugural episode of The Bottom Half is Red to dive into the profound effects of that Genesis moment and why they started this podcast.

Hint: It's not to teach leaders how to micromanage.

They discuss the critical need for cultural excellence in the church and why excellence isn't the destination; it's the starting place from which we should be operating.

This pilot episode is an enjoyable blend of wisdom, vision, and fun! Everyone says it, but we promise: this is not a show you want to miss.
