For Leaders with Ronnie Floyd

Every person, organization, team, business, family, and church will face major problems. There is no such thing as a problem-free life. The real question is this:  How will you respond in these times, and what will be your source for decision-making? Whatever the situation, we must do the right thing in the right way to God’s glory.  Teams, organizations, businesses, families, churches, and each o...

I was born on November 11, 1955. Do the math. I just turned 70. On December 6, 2025, less than one month after my 70th birthday, I ran and completed the St. Jude Memphis Marathon. This was the first marathon that I ever ran. For those who might not know, a marathon is a long-distance running race measuring exactly 26.2 miles. Yes, you heard that right: 26.2 miles.  To everyone involved with St. Ju...

Providence determines what you do and where you are. I am discussing this on my podcast today. Please tell your friends. These words help you understand that what you do and where you are really matter, even on your worst day.

After Jesus issued his call to follow him, he knew some were still clinging to their success in the world. This should not surprise us because even when one has followed Jesus for years, stepping into the world and its measurement for success is still tempting. In your workplace, what matters most? In your vocation, how is success measured? Let the world measure it as they may; some measures of su...

When you get hurt in your life, it impacts every segment of your life. It is really difficult to compartmentalize your hurt and lessen the experience of it. We don’t talk about our hurt aloud many times, but it is real.  Hurt people, hurt people. Each of us has been the target of someone else’s personal hurt. They want to get us back for something we have not even done. All because they are striki...

Walking with other leaders is really what leadership is all about. Within two minutes, I asked him: What is the next mountain you need to climb, or what is your next big leadership challenge before you? Walking with other leaders is also about who is walking beside you. He then asked me: What did you look for in other leaders?

My time is limited. Your time is limited. Let God teach you WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR TIME. Steward your life and your time well. The people who do, live more productive and healthy lives. Each decision you make about your time, or a series of decisions you in your life within a segment of your time, will determine your longterm future in life. WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR TIME is a bigtime issue for you and e...

Stay tuned because I am talking about this on our podcast today.  Anytime you exceed your limits, it wears on you spiritually, emotionally, mentally, relationally, vocationally, and physically. Listen carefully: Margin is the space between you and your limits. How much space is in your life for re...

Everyone faces things that hold us back. We feel bound. Even trapped. Our pasts, including failures, insecurities, and pressure from within and from the outside, may lead us to experience feelings like these. All of us, whether in life or leadership, come up against these things. We must face them head-on because we cannot lead others consistently and effectively until we have personally experienc...

I have now lived through the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Civil Rights Leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the 1968 Democratic presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Sr. I remember sitting down on the floor in our home as a 2nd grade little boy, watching President Kennedy’s funeral on a black and white television. Additionally, I remember when the Vietnam War was finally ove...

We all dream about the future and what it may one day look like. Dreaming about the future is healthy; we should never withhold expressing our desires, goals, or dreams about it.  Sometimes, it helps to share our dreams aloud and even with others. Lending our voice to them may help us clarify what we are dreaming about doing or considering for the future. For those who are followers of Jesus, alwa...

Through the years of pastoring people and leading a local church, I discovered people wanted help to live life effectively. Whenever we asked them how we could help them, they would bring up the subjects of marriage and living purposefully.   In last week’s podcast, I discussed marriage. In fact, podcast 60 was titled "7 Insights For A Meaningful and Long-Lasting Marriage." If you missed...

Over 400 leaders attended from more than sixty countries worldwide. The sessions were meaningful, and the Lord move...

When I was younger and life didn’t seem so complicated, I believed I knew all the answers about the future God had in store for me and others. As a pastor and spiritual leader, I was often asked this question: “What do you think God may want me to do?” Based on the information they shared with me beforehand, I would quickly give them my opinion. I did this more out of innocence, because I didn’t k...

Homes destroyed. Christians kidnapped. Families torn apart. Some are fleeing. Some are hiding. And many are dying. Nigeria has become the global epicenter of violence against Christians. Open Doors reports...
