#155 - It’s easy to love the people that are easy to love, but what about the people that aren’t so easy to love. As ministry leaders, we do a great job of welcoming, loving, and encouraging those who look like us, think like us, and act like us, however, if we take a deeper look at the life and ministry of Jesus, we notice his unwavering love and commitment to the "least of these." In today’s episode of the podcast, we sit down with our friend Matt Moeckl, Executive Director of Wildwood Hills Ranch, and talk about how the family unit, and the church, can transform the lives and futures of marginalized individuals.

#151 - I’m guessing you’ve likely been a part of a group a friends that, at one point or another, let a situation get a little out of hand. What started as a fun evening turned into a crazy memory that leaves you wondering how no one ended up in the hospital (or worse).

In today’s episode of the podcast, we talk about ways you can implement policies and training that not only keeps everybody safe, but doesn’t kill the fun either.

#149 - Many leaders struggle with control. It’s hard to let go when our passion for ministry is so high, but as we’ve seen time and time again, it’s not healthy long-term for leaders to be in control of every aspect within their ministry. In fact, we’d even suggest that the health of a ministry can be determined by what would happen if the leader wasn’t there. On today’s episode of the podcast, we sit down with our friend Tom Hansen and discuss the ways he distributes leadership throughout the church so that no one person feels the weight of it all.
