For Leaders with Ronnie Floyd

Have you ever considered changing the way you think? The great Zig Ziglar challenged people to avoid “Stink’in Thinkin!” Today’s podcast will challenge all of us to begin: “THINK DIFFERENTLY: Change Your Thinking. Change Your Future.”

What if one of the greatest changes you could make in your life is to change the way you pray? Most of us want a better, stronger, and meaningful prayer life. We want to know God personally and even more deeply: experiencing His presence, discerning His direction, and seeing Him work in our lives supernaturally.  But sometimes we keep approaching prayer the same way while hoping for different resu...

History teaches us so much if we are willing to learn and grow. Today, I want us to learn that each of us will experience sunsets, sunrises, and seasons in spiritual life and leadership. Stay tuned to the Ronnie Floyd Podcast.

A turning point is a specific moment, decision, relationship, or experience that redirects the future of your life. A turning point can be positive or negative, and either can be life-altering. Do not imagine them all to be bad, because they can often be very positive. Your life today is what it is because of the turning points in your life.   Moments can happen, and all of a sudden what happens n...

Welcome today and thank you for joining us on this 104th podcast episode. This past week in my life was very busy, as I had the great privilege of doing a major breakout for the TIME TO LEAD Conference at Cross Church. Over 120 people joined the breakout, and they came from 127 churches. That 80 Minute experience was fantastic. The response has been strong and encouraging.  This led into the CALLE...

What does following Jesus actually look like—not just on Sunday, but in everyday life? Jesus never called us simply to believe in Him; He called us to follow Him, and that decision should shape every part of our lives. Today I want to give you four essentials of following Jesus—and then ask one very personal question: Do these four things describe my life?

Questions you may be asking: Will I stay strong in the storm? Will I keep the faith as I walk through the storm? Sometimes we may not know how we would respond until that moment occurs. Yet we know God is with us through the storms of life. Please get this: NOTHING CAN CREATE GREATER FAITH IN YOUR LIFE THAN WALKING THROUGH A STORM. In fact, God will elevate your faith into an entirely new dimensio...

Happy 250th Anniversary to our great United States of America. As we celebrate today and throughout this year in America, we are marking 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.  This is why I want to share our 100th podcast episode with you on the 250th Anniversary of America.

We have had a strong and encouraging response to last week’s podcast, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE. If you missed it, please listen to it soon and share it with others. People really do want to have a more positive attitude. Let’s share it with many people so each of us can have a chance to experience a positive change in attitude.  How is your week going? Last week, I spent all o...

In life, it is quite easy to develop a poor attitude. Spending your life online will give you a poor attitude. Listening to nothing but news programs will strain your attitude. Developing a skeptical mindset, a critical spirit, and a cynical, sarcastic tone will sink your attitude into the abyss of a bad attitude. This will lead you to carry the weight of the world on your back and to develop the...

Today, I am going to really do a 180 on you, because I am going to talk to you today about some 7 TAKEAWAYS FROM THE 2026 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION. While events began on Saturday, both Sunday and Monday were full as well. All was pointing to last Tuesday and Wednesday in Orlando, Florida. These two days, Tuesday and Wednesday, are traditionally reserved for the Southern Baptist Convention'...

The summer season is completely different from the other seasons of the year. At times, it seems summer slows life down, so you can breathe, take some personal time, and renew yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At the same time, summer can be very busy, filled with extra activities, days of travel, and perhaps even many different experiences. Parents with kids at home still have to...

One of the most important duties of a leader is to build a self-sustaining culture that builds teams and mobilizes people. Otherwise, the leader spends their time and effort going uphill endlessly, relying on their own leadership ability. I want each of you, as leaders, to build teams that mobilize people toward a common vision and mission. So, tell your friends and colleagues about this episode a...

God has my heart locked in as I am preaching through the book of Nehemiah for 13-weeks. While I am studying that and then going through preparing for this Commencement Message God gave to me last week, I have been thinking so much about vision. So much about dreaming about the future and God’s will and intention for us. God uses all things to move along and I am convinced this subject today will e...

Hundreds of people participated. Prayer w...

In my life, I have failed in leadership multiple times. I wish this were not so, but it is so. I have a dear friend who is a gifted football coach. He has told me multiple times: I have learned how I want to coach football by watching other coaches do it the wrong way.  In other words, he was saying: I do not want to   coach like them, so I am going to coach more effectively.  As leaders, we shoul...

My subject today is one of the most important lessons in leadership. While this is so, it is also one of the most sobering lessons about life and leadership. No one is exempt from this lesson. What is this lesson? Here it is, and it is the title of Podcast 86: Leadership Is a Stewardship, and All Leadership Is Temporary. From the best leaders to the poorest leadership, this lesson is relevant. Lea...
