Hey there! What sets thriving nonprofits apart from those just trying to survive? According to Rodney Young Jr., it's one word: clarity. In this episode, I sit down with the visionary founder of Thrive NPO to discuss how a clear, focused mission transforms more than messaging; it builds momentum, unlocks funding, and cultivates deep community engagement. Rodney shares the powerful story behind his organization’s impact, how they've sustained support for over 25 years, and why leaders must avoid the trap of trying to do everything for everyone. Whether you're leading a nonprofit, launching a new initiative, or supporting community work, this episode is a masterclass in vision with precision.

Tune in to hear:

• How clarity helps your team and partners rally behind the vision
  
  
  
• The connection between mission focus and financial sustainability
  
  
  
• Why mission drift dilutes trust and drains resources
  
  
  
• Practical advice for refining your nonprofit's purpose, programming, and pitch

Hey family! Adulting is hard, but it doesn’t have to be impossible. In this engaging episode, I sit down with Ashley Ramsey Powell, assistant principal, young adult pastor, and founder of the Giant Slayers Conference, to unpack what it means to prepare the next generation for adulthood with wisdom, resilience, and purpose.

Ashley shares her passion for equipping young adults with the practical skills and spiritual grounding they need to navigate life’s challenges. From finances and faith to relationships and responsibility, our conversation explores how mentors, parents, and leaders can help emerging adults thrive instead of stumbling through survival mode. If you care about raising, mentoring, or inspiring the next generation, this conversation will give you fresh tools and renewed hope.

• How the church and community can partner to prepare young leaders.
  
  
  
• Practical ways to guide young adults without stifling their independence.

Hey there! In this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation, we welcome Jeremy Gibson to explore the unspoken ways the church can wound us. Far from dramatic scandals, these hurts often show up as lingering silence, creeping shame, and the weight of spiritual burnout. Jeremy challenges the narrative that church hurt is always loud, and tells us why healing begins when we name the quiet hurts. Whether you’ve ever felt unseen in church, carried unspoken pain, or are ministering to those who have, this episode is for you.
