Send us Fan Mail Some guidance from God feels obvious. Other guidance shows up as a vivid dream you can’t shake, a nagging inner check, or a pattern you keep seeing and you’re left wondering, "Was that You or was that me?" I’m joined by Tia Airington, co-founder of Above All Things, to talk about how a listening leader learns to receive God’s voice with clarity and then steward it with c...

Send us Fan Mail “Listening” sounds gentle until you learn the Bible’s definition. Shema the Hebrew word often translated as “hear” carries a challenge: real hearing sinks in, forms understanding, and produces a response. That one idea can change how we practice Christian leadership, especially when we’re trying to hear God at work while leading teams, making decisions, or carrying responsibility...

Send us Fan Mail What if opposition isn’t a sign to stop, but a signal to listen deeper? We turn to Nehemiah 4 to reframe leadership under pressure—moving from fear to vigilance, from isolation to trumpet-ready community, and from frantic fixes to Spirit-led strategy. Rather than glorifying the 52-day rebuild, we explore the blueprint beneath it: a leader who hears God clearly, discerns threats wi...

Send us Fan Mail He grew up surrounded by the occult and trained to “hear” spiritual voices then he met Jesus and discovered a startling truth: the enemy imitates what God designed. Pastor Jamal Maxsam joins us to unpack his message that the miraculous is our normal, not a once-a-year moment or a gift reserved for a few “special” people. If you’ve ever wondered why faith can feel dry, distant, or...

Send us Fan Mail Leadership feels lighter when you’re not carrying it alone. We dive into the real difference between a coach, a mentor, a sponsor, and a circle—and why so many of us reach for one when our souls are actually hungry for the others. I share how coaching draws out your growth, mentoring shows the map, sponsorship opens doors, and a circle keeps you grounded with prayer, accountabilit...

Send us Fan Mail What if the most powerful leadership move you make this week is to slow down and listen?

Send us Fan Mail What if the leaders who shape us matter as much as the lessons we learn? Today we explore how mentors and sponsors can change a career, deepen character, and anchor decisions in God’s guidance. Through candid stories and practical tools, we unpack the difference between wisdom that refines you and influence that opens doors—and why a listening posture is the thread that holds it a...

Send us Fan Mail Pressure tests our leadership, but it also reveals where we’re rooted. We sit down with marketing executive and servant leader Tammy Ousley to unpack what it really means to become a listening leader—someone who can hold big goals, tight timelines, and complex relationships without losing alignment with God’s will. Tammy shares how reading the Bible cover to cover transformed fami...

Send us Fan Mail Leadership gets noisy fast—deadlines, decisions, and the constant pressure to speak with confidence. During this series, we choose a different starting point: listening . Kelley Johnson invites you into a slower rhythm where spiritual discernment fuels practical leadership, especially in seasons marked by burnout, transition, or sudden change. Through a candid story of a leader wh...

Along the way, we unpack how politicized faith and silence around race fracture communities, wh...

Send us Fan Mail A simple prayer can change your whole life: God, help me see the city as you see it.

We trace Collin’s path from suburban bubble to a courtroom seat during the 2019 B...

Send us Fan Mail A simple school-day image—a big pink eraser—becomes a mirror for how we spend our lives. We talk about the shards we give away to arguments, doomscrolling, and expectations, and what’s left when it’s time to heal our own page. With licensed professional counselor Britni Cannon, we move from theory to practice: how boundaries protect compassion, how prayer in the moment shapes wise...

Send us Fan Mail A single “compliment” can split the room and the heart. When someone said a Black speaker was “well spoken for a Black man,” it wasn’t praise—it was a wound layered over years of unspoken injuries. We open that moment and use it to trace bigger fault lines inside churches — steeped in politicized DEI debates, and the heavy cost of being asked to teach, absorb, and forgive all at o...
