In this second part, Jay Mountjoy encourages Derek Gordon to share his journey since this weekend.  Working through the Brotherhood he found, God continues to show him that he is His chosen son. The radical honesty found in Crucible creates an opportunity to experience and receive radical grace that is difficult to find anywhere else. Derek challenges men to step into their authentic masculinity by coming out behind their shields.  By taking the risk, they have the best chance of feeling and living with the grace that they need to heal.

Leadership series podcast host Tim Rush interviews Church and Crucible leader Brandon Brunson on leadership. Brandon shares how his first taste of leadership was coaching high school basketball. He shares his journey of leadership on a team of Elders that led a church from messy conflict to a healthy and growing church community.  His big leadership win was discovering that the complaint about the carpet or worship songs is usually about some deeper need.  Understanding that leadership is frequently disappointing people at a pace they can absorb.

Host Jay Mountjoy interviews Colorado Crucible Leader Derek Gordon about how he discovered what was driving him at the Crucible Project.  He began a journey of healing from his adoption by an abusive family where he picked up a lie about himself  and God.  He experienced that the more truthful you are to a safe group of men, the more you feel God’s and their grace.  He left knowing that God is loving and that he is God’s chosen and loved son.  This shift improved his relations with family and coworkers.  The brotherhood that he found has helped him continue to integrate this truth into all of his life.
