Description:
Dr. Gregg Makin emphasizes the power of relational connection in emotional and spiritual healing. He explains that true transformation happens through empathy, presence, and right-brain, heart-level connection rather than logical advice. Drawing from Jesus’ interactions with the bleeding woman and the woman at the well, he illustrates how grace, safety, and genuine understanding can calm the nervous system, heal emotional wounds, and create lasting change.

Description:
Mandy Holloway describes battling fear and depending on God’s anointing, prayer, and Scripture to minister boldly. She recounts how local work (juvenile facilities, prisons) led to international opportunities, foster care, and many baptisms. Emphasizing surrender and obedience, she argues ministry isn’t an elite gift but every believer’s commission, urging people to ask God who they are. She calls herself a “voice crying in the wilderness,” preparing others to meet Jesus.

Description:
This conversation with Dr. Margaret Banks-Butler unpacks her book’s statement: “Flow is the place of your divine assignment and the sweet spot of your anointing.” She explains that spiritual flow is not just about performance but about placement—where calling, gifting, purpose, and God’s timing converge. Drawing from psychology’s concept of “flow,” she relates it to ministry, emphasizing that leaders thrive when they serve from their true God-given design rather than forced roles. Dr. Banks-Butler highlights the importance of team dynamics, personality styles, and respecting diverse giftings, showing that effective ministry requires valuing each member’s unique place in the body of Christ.

Description:
Ryan Franklin teaches on four major barriers to healthy relationships: pride, past wounds, unhealthy patterns, and emotional exhaustion. He explains how each one creates distance—whether through walls we build, hurts we carry, habits we tolerate, or energy we deplete. Using biblical examples like Elijah, Franklin highlights the importance of humility, healing, healthy rhythms, and rest. His central message is that reconnection doesn’t begin when others change—it begins when we choose to change, steward our emotional health, and model genuine relational connection.

Mandy Holloway shares her passion for prison ministry, recounting a powerful moment where women rejected lies of the enemy, embraced their identity in Christ, and experienced deliverance, healing, and the Holy Ghost. She stresses that reaching the lost, caring for the broken, and living out the Gospel is not a “special calling” for a select few but a commission for every believer, rooted in obedience and love for Jesus.

Description:
Ryan Franklin teaches on relational barriers in leadership, showing how pride subtly builds walls through silence, unforgiveness, and the need to be right, while humility builds bridges by making the first move. He also highlights how past wounds, if left unhealed, can shape relationships, leadership, and culture—using Joseph’s story in Genesis 50 as an example. Franklin emphasizes that unhealed pain often bleeds into interactions, distorts perceptions, and creates invisible barriers, but healing and reconnection are possible through humility and honest self-reflection.

Description:
Pastor Darrell Johns explains that the earliest warning sign against ineffective leadership is realizing that solo leadership is unbiblical. He shares how God reminded him that while a church may outgrow his personal abilities, it can never outgrow his vision—prompting him to lead with openness and empower others. Johns reflects on releasing talented staff, even when it’s difficult, and valuing long-term relationships. He defines a “dream team” as faithful, committed people who serve Christ, the church, and each other, are dependable in any circumstance, respect family priorities, and work together with a willingness to do whatever it takes.
