His use of personal stories also makes it easier to connect with the content and apply it to one's own life.

While The John Nuzzo Leadership Podcast offers invaluable advice and insight, one potential drawback is that it may primarily cater to Christian leaders or those specifically involved in church staffing roles. While there is still much that can be learned from this podcast for anyone seeking personal growth or insight into leadership principles, individuals who are not actively engaged in ministry may find some episodes less relatable or applicable.
In conclusion, The John Nuzzo Leadership Podcast is a must-listen for every Christian leader, particularly those involved in church staffing roles.

· What is the difference between ownership and stewardship?· How can the older generation be used of God to accelerate the Kingdom and not disappear?· What is the difference between a model and a mandate?Discover the answers to these questions and more as Pastor John Nuzzo interviews Pastor Keith Tucci, a friend who has pastored for many years and oversees the Network of Related Pastors, giving love, encouragement, and teaching to younger pastors. According to Pastor Keith, “Every pastor needs a pastor.” Pastors John and Keith offer valuable lessons to pastors as the two discuss Malachi 4, referring to the last days where God would turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. God identifies Himself as the God of three generations: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—all dwelling together. Currently, there is a transition in the Body of Christ—a great exchange where Malachi 4 is coming to pass. We all have a part to play. What is your part? Also, make sure to check out our Encounter Conference coming up in June.
In this month's podcast, Pastor John interviews Ron Brooks, an entrepreneur and long-time business owner, and gives just a peek into their lives. Ron and his wife Sharon have a biblical view of money that few people share. They have a lifestyle of giving and believe it is a privilege to be able to help others. Ron classifies their giving as being “addictive in their lives.” As you listen, you will hear story after story of two people who love God and have the heart of God where money is concerned. Our prayer is that God would make this lifestyle real to you and that you step into another realm of understanding the heart of God where finances are concerned.
In October of 2023, Pastor John visited a couple in Maine whom he mentors as part of our Northeast expansion initiative. In this podcast, Pastor John details the story of what happened during this visit, which allowed the couple to purchase a building, renovate it, and have services in it within one year. A grace came alongside and accelerated them. The question that was then raised to Pastor John was, “Why aren't you doing this here?” We have two campuses that need buildings, and although one is purchased already, things seem to be on hold. It was then that Pastor John realized that although he has amazingly gifted people around him, it is Pastor John who has the calling and grace to build. Grace opens doors. All believers have received a very specific grace deposit from God to do their part in the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:7). Yet as leaders, we are tempted to live apart from that grace. We have to discover our grace and then live by it. What has God graced you to do? Are you doing things you are not graced to do? Have you asked others to do things they are not graced to do? As you listen, you will discover the answers to these questions and have a better understanding of divine enablement to do your part in the Body of Christ.
Ask yourself these questions:· How do you treat people?· Do you get angry quickly?· Do you treat people above you with honor but those below you in the organization differently?Pastor John Nuzzo unpacks a critical element to pastoring and serving people effectively in this month's podcast. Based on personal experiences, Pastor John explains the difference between internal and external drivers which cause us to act the way we do. How we treat people comes from one of these two drivers—that's what influences us. Most of the things we do, we do unintentionally. As leaders, we must be both self-aware and others aware. We must treat people the way Jesus treated them. If we don't value people, we will not be able to treat them well. When you discover what drives you, it will give you an understanding and compassion for broken people. If there is one thing that has caused us to be fruitful in our marriage and relationship with people and in pastoring and shepherding people, it is to love people where they are and just as they are and to understand that there's always a why we cannot see.
Pastor John Nuzzo continues his teaching on God and Government. Last month, he focused on how to steward your vote in this upcoming election as a Christian. Please listen to the October podcast if you haven't already. This month, the focus is on how to navigate God and Government as a child of God and a leader. We are commanded in every area of our lives to lead people to the light. The only source of preservation on this earth is the salt and light of the Church and the Body of Christ. If your primary source of hope for the world is either lost or found by the outcome of this election, consider this: you have already made government your god and your source of hope. The moment government becomes your source of hope for freedom is the moment it becomes your god. We don't have enemies; we only have a mission field. Vote for the person whose policies and platform most closely align with biblical principles. Jesus in you is the salt and light of the earth and the light in this world. Please register for the Gerald Brooks Pittsburgh Roundtable on Tuesday, December 3 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bridge City Church in Pittsburgh. The cost is $50. Register at geraldbrooksministries.com. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to lead from a biblical perspective.
· Should a Christian vote?· How should a Christian vote?This is not a political podcast. This podcast by Pastor John Nuzzo is about discipling God's people and how to steward their Kingdom responsibility while living in a representative republic. As we approach this precarious and divided time in our nation, Pastor Nuzzo challenges Christians to understand our responsibility as believers to avoid some of the greatest errors we can make. We're here to represent Jesus on the earth. Have you ever said this or heard someone say, “If ______________ wins this election, it's over? If those thoughts are prominent in your mind or coming out of your mouth, government is already your god.When government becomes God, it's one of the most dangerous things that can happen to humanity because what it seeks to do is so dangerous. As you listen, you will begin to understand your part as a Christian in this election. Let's be united as Christians in having a voice that represents our King!On behalf of River Valley and Victory Family Church Network, we would like to invite you to the Generosity Accelerator event.

This month, Pastor John Nuzzo interviews Pastor Rob Ketterling, Lead Pastor of River Valley Church in Minneapolis, MN. He has coached and discipled many through an initiative called Kingdom Builders and has personally seen God grow their church from $157,000 to more than $10,000,000 above the tithe, which has helped build unified local communities, plant more churches, and has sent missionaries around the world! According to Pastor John: “Since Victory initiated Kingdom Builders, in five years general giving increased by 85% and missions giving by 347%! Rob has made a greater impact in discipling our church than anything we've ever done! It is one of the most remarkable things I've ever witnessed! It has revolutionized the church I pastor and the pastor who pastors it!” Hear Pastor Rob share the heart of this ministry as well as the “why” behind it.

Pastor John Nuzzo continues his message regarding turning the hearts of the Fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the Fathers. When God does this, He will also be turning them away from something: that is idols. Idols exist in both generations that will impede the form of the wineskin and will impede the acceleration of the emergent generation in fulfilling the purpose of God for their lives. What are these idols? Pastor Nuzzo speaks candidly to the Abrahams and Isaacs about their idols and about how to rescue a nation in our current culture. We live in difficult times, but the gospel doesn't need perfect times to thrive. Our best days are in front of us. Yield to God's presence and let God be true and every man a liar!
This month, Pastor John shares his heart about a new wineskin that is emerging. God is building a new wineskin to operate through a new generation, and it is designed to affect three generations. Whether you are an Abraham, an Isaac, or a Jacob, this podcast is for you. Pastor John shares examples of two leaders in his life who have followed the example in Malachi 4 that helped to accelerate his ministry: “He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers OR ELSE I will come to strike the land with a curse.” Through extended prayer, Pastor John has received clarity on the true meaning of Malachi 4 and shares how Abrahams, Isaacs, and Jacobs can dwell together.
In this podcast episode, Pastor John Nuzzo is privileged to interview Dr. John Maxwell, who is known as the # 1 leadership authority.

Learn how John Maxwell has transformed nations by simply adding value to people, then ask yourself one question: Do you live such a life that people want that life?
In this month's podcast, Pastor John Nuzzo articulates the structure and importance of biblical leadership in the church. Multiplication is one of the primary things God is endeavoring to do church-wide, not only in the church, but in individual believers' lives to multiply them so they can multiply the Kingdom. There is a lid, however, that if not overcome will stop you, as a leader, in your tracks—the lid of structure. Pastor John expounds on the biblical leadership model and explains the importance of the capacity of the leaders around you. Grow in empowering leaders around you and narrow the field of who you speak to, ultimately so you can multiply, and then they can multiply, and they can multiply the Kingdom of God.

In this month's podcast, Pastor John Nuzzo enlightens us regarding the importance of the punctuation mark we place on our lives. Through personal experiences, he reveals the domino effect of our using the correct punctuation in life. The domino effect is not only up to God; it depends upon our choices as well. When we choose to place a period in our lives rather than a comma, it can be devastating—not only to our own lives, but to countless others also. Listening to this message will help you to see that no matter the present circumstances you face; no matter why the periods may be trying to drop in your life—you matter! Your obedience matters! Choose your punctuation mark today as a leader. It matters! Only eternity will record the domino effect of your decision to fight the good fight of faith, to finish your course, and to remain faithful.

Who is your Apollos?Who are your Aquila and Priscilla?In this podcast, Pastor John Nuzzo delves into a new season he believes is coming into the Body of Christ. He believes we are in a season to help the next generation to be prepared to build the Church and to hear God's voice. In Acts 18, Aquila and Priscilla took Apollo aside and explained to him, “the way of God more accurately.” They nurtured him, and ultimately, released him into his calling. They decided to invite someone into their lives to create an environment for Apollos to grow spiritually. Small groups are a mechanism for us to invite people into our lives whom we can nurture. It's the responsibility of every believer to find his or her Apollos and nurture him or her. This is God's method of multiplication: sheep nurturing sheep. When you release your Apollos into his or her purpose, you multiply the Kingdom of God. Take action steps today. Intentionally invite someone into your life to nurture and find someone to be Aquila or Priscilla in your life. There's always a place for someone to fill the gaps in your faith and explain the way of God more accurately. Please join us for Encounter Conference, June 19 – 21, 2024, at Victory Family Church in Cranberry Twp., PA. This conference is for junior and senior high students and their leaders.

In this month's podcast, Pastor John speaks to leaders about multiplication in your sphere of influence. He shares a personal experience that brought him to the realization that there are three elements necessary for multiplication. Multiplication is available for all of us—no one is disqualified! In the world, people are celebrated because of what they've achieved; in the Kingdom of God, we're celebrated because we've been received and rescued by the love of God. Love is the ultimate multiplier! If you're going to multiply, you are not working for God but partnering with God. Listen to this profound teaching, humble yourself to God's purpose, and see multiplication in your life!

What does generosity have to do with leadership?What do generosity and living by faith have in common?Why do I need to be in a training camp?Training camp for athletes is painful yet productive. It requires discipline. It is for game time. As a young minister, I thought the painful training was for a short season, and then life would get easier. I learned, however, that anything of value is an uphill battle. Most Christians live and die and never take one step into their purpose for God because they give up during training. They see the pain and run from it. If you stick with it, it reaps a great harvest for God's Kingdom. Leadership is never about steps taken for your own life. They are steps intended to impact your generation. You can leave a mark in a generation. It will take training, it will take discipline, it will take faith. Listening to Pastor John's podcast this month will outline the steps necessary to apply not only to your personal life but to your leadership as well. The training camp God uses is designed to enable us to trust God and to walk by faith in an ever-changing world. Learn how to apply these principles to your leadership; there is a world desperately waiting for you to fulfill your purpose!

God uses people in amazing ways—even while the leader is in complete meltdown. There's a reason meltdowns happen, and it's avoidable. Longevity in ministry is about not confusing two different aspects of the Holy Spirit in your life as a leader. Pastor John Nuzzo distinguishes between two aspects of the Holy Spirit in your life, using personal ministry examples and stories to further explain. Would you like protection from deception? Would you like protection from identity theft? Do we all have equal distribution of these two aspects of the Holy Spirit?In this month's podcast, you will learn the answer to these questions, as well as the difference between the anointing within you and the anointing upon you. Both aspects require a yielding. Gain perspective of the workings of the Holy Spirit so you can make use of the power God has made available to you.
What is longevity?What are the qualifiers of longevity?What makes longevity a multiplier?What is the key requirement to longevity? In this month's podcast, Pastor John Nuzzo reviews longevity in ministry and answers the questions above. In 2 Timothy 4: 7-8, Paul referred to his longevity: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.There is one central requirement of longevity that is critical to your personal journey. Your gifting alone is not the answer. Listen to this profound insight on longevity and discover that key requirement. Look further than your own life, needs, and joys. Apply this wisdom to your life, and it will benefit you and your ministry. Live the life you were meant to live. Your leadership is truly multi-generational.
In Part 2 of this podcast, Pastor John Nuzzo unveils the final three methods Jesus used to multiply His Kingdom. If you take the time to process the questions Pastor John asks, you will literally see God's Kingdom multiply under your leadership. Learn how to intentionally plan so that you have more time than you can imagine, yet there is more being done in your ministry than ever before. It's amazing how Jesus lived His life. Using five practical practices, Jesus gave the Great Commission to only 11 people who changed the whole world! If we want to expect to multiply the Kingdom, we can't violate the leadership and methods of Jesus. We must study and follow His practices to enjoy the success He enjoyed. Don't weary in well-doing. Reflect on what you have and build your calendar toward these five practices of Jesus. Your church or organization will never be the same. “There's a compounding impact of obedience when you follow Jesus, and when it shows up, it's a multiplier!” (John Nuzzo)
In Part One of this two-part series, Pastor John Nuzzo deep dives into two of the five primary things Jesus did to multiply the Kingdom of God. As you listen, you will hear Pastor John ask process questions that will lead you to answers that will literally multiply God's Kingdom under your leadership. They are not difficult; they are things that anyone can do. As leaders, we are called to live within the principles of the Kingdom of God just like Jesus did. Humble yourself; submit yourself to God; ask yourself a few simple questions and begin the process of lining up your practices with those of Jesus. You will discover answers to the following:How did Jesus lead people?Can you expect multiplication while violating the manner in which Jesus conducted His ministry life?Are you performing duties that are not meant for pastors to perform?Most of us have been trained to do the opposite of the ministry practices of Jesus. Listening to this podcast will help you to lead like Jesus did.
Leaders, discover the answers to the following questions:What is spiritual growth?What has God said about your life, calling, and purpose; how are you responding to that calling?Are you lifting up roadblocks and waiting for permission from them to act?What expectations of increase are you expecting this year?In this month's podcast, Pastor John Nuzzo examines the type of boasting we are commanded to do in the Bible. He defines and expounds on three types of boasting that every leader must have in their lives: the boast of humility, grace, and faith. Understand the difference between the different types of boasting and discover the one in which you are most experienced. What is the key to living in this impossibility triangle of humility, grace, and faith? Leadership isn't just about making good decisions or empowering people to do their part. It's the ability to go where your physical eyes can't see. Leadership must be born out of vision greater than the possible! As Kingdom people, it must be born out of what God says through you! Begin 2023 by living within the impossibility triangle of humility, grace, and faith; submit to God in humility.
Ask yourself one question: Would you rather see someone come to Jesus or vote a certain way, so a political outcome becomes your hope?Think about what your primary purpose is as a leader, and then listen to Pastor John Nuzzo expound on this topic. He gives three keys to help you discern the balance between reasoning and rage. He uses a personal example of a time he was invited to the White House to meet with a President; he explains what God ministered to him, and why he declined the invitation. Listen to the wisdom God imparted to him so that you can help others choose to put God's Kingdom first. Pastor John removes the controversial nature of this topic by using God's Word as the foundation of this podcast. You will be glad you took the time to listen.

By listening to this podcast, you will discover:How to experience the manifest presence of GodWhat the difference is between the general and manifest presence of God.What repentance is and what it is not.What the prerequisite is to experiencing the presence of God.“We are living in a distressed and totally ‘out of breath' generation, which I have not seen in my 41 years of ministry. Waves of national trauma are unending, and it is not going to get better.” Pastor John Nuzzo uses Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah to explain how Lot was deceived by placing his confidence in the wrong thing. Even though Lot was a righteous man, that deception ruined his life.How can we avoid this same deception? Pastor John gives us the answer in easy, practical steps. Please listen and allow the Holy Spirit to awaken you to see that what happened to Lot can happen to us. We can avoid that outcome. It's an important time in the history of the nation for God's people to be refreshed in His presence and fulfill the calling on our lives.
What is the answer to the overwhelming assault on God's people of depression and anxiety?Do you wonder why people are quitting the ministry more than ever before?Why are people running FROM God during this turmoil?What does “being vexed in our souls” mean?In this month's podcast, Pastor John helps us to understand why so many people in our world today are vexed—anxious and depressed. He uses three Bible stories: Samson and Delilah, Job, and Lot, to explain how so many of us are trapped in circumstances.

Learn the difference between humility and pride where grace is concernedDiscover a recipe to grow the Kingdom of GodUnderstand your primary responsibility as a leader/pastorGod has given each of us a measure of grace for which we are accountable. This month, Pastor John Nuzzo approaches an aspect of grace that has not been widely studied: accountability for the grace you've been given. Ask yourself this question: If you died today, and had to give an account to God today for the grace that the Head of the Church placed upon you, how would you do in that judgement? Pastor John offers a practical method of charting what you are graced to do and what you are not. You will discover the amount of time you have invested in the grace God has placed on you and what things you need to empower others to do so that you see explosion in your ministry!
