Part of the work of leadership is about achieving and maintaining clarity: on your personal vocation, on your organization's purpose and mission, and on the most important activities to achieve results. Moreover, clarity helps us navigate the curveballs and unexpected challenges that life inevitably brings our way. We are kicking off this month of talking about de-cluttering leadership by hearing from GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft. David shares some of the strategies and activities that help him to stay focused and lead with simplicity and clarity.

We believe that real change starts with real relationships. Our mission is simple: to reach people and help them walk with God, creating a life together that makes a difference in the world. This happens when we choose to work alongside each other in ways that bring healing and hope—not through grand gestures, but through everyday acts of love, trust, and genuine care. In a world that often feels broken and divided, we're called to be people of quiet confidence and deep integrity, building bridges instead of walls. The beautiful truth is that transformation doesn't require us to tackle every problem at once; it begins right where we are, with the people around us, in the small but meaningful opportunities we encounter each day. When we commit to showing up with humility and hope, we become part of God's ongoing work to help all people flourish.

What if your true calling isn't just about what you do from 9 to 5? Most of us tie our identity to our job titles, and while there's nothing wrong with finding meaning in our work, there's so much more to discover. Your vocation—your true calling—is about who you're becoming, not just what you're producing. It's about bringing beauty and nourishment into the world through the unique way you love, serve, and create. Instead of scrambling to protect what's ours or prove our worth through achievement, we can learn to receive life as a gift and share it generously. Whether you're a teacher, accountant, parent, or artist, your deepest purpose isn't defined by your resume—it's found in becoming the kind of person who creates peace, builds trust, and helps others flourish. That's a calling worth embracing, and it starts right where you are today.

We're all on a journey to build relationships that stand on solid ground. When Christ's love becomes our guiding light, it creates a shared identity that brings us together, encouraging us to show up authentically. While our faith journey is deeply personal, it ripples outward into our communities. The grace we've received comes with responsibility—we're called to share it freely with others. There's something profoundly beautiful about living peacefully with one another. When we offer ourselves as a gift, inviting others into our lives and creating space to connect on this foundation of grace, we breathe value into each other. This exchange of love requires trust, but it opens the door to an experience of peace that transforms how we see ourselves and those around us.

In the depths of our restless souls, we constantly seek a foundation that can withstand life's turbulent storms. True inner peace is not found in temporary substitutes or external achievements, but in the transformative grace of divine forgiveness. When we surrender our struggles and embrace God's unconditional love, we discover a profound sense of freedom that transcends mere relief. This peace becomes our anchor, allowing us to stand firm amid life's challenges, filling the void we've long tried to numb or escape. It's in this sacred connection that we find our true worth—not through our own efforts, but through the merciful embrace of a love that renews, restores, and ultimately sets us completely free.

How can leaders stay holistically healthy amidst demands for high-performance and the constant chaos of the modern world? GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft sits down with Whitney Putnam to share his thoughts on what leaders can do to care for themselves so they can stay in the game for the long haul. 

There's a profound peace available that many of us overlook. When we understand that being at peace with God forms the foundation for all other peace in our lives, everything begins to shift. It's unbelievably good to rest in this relationship—not constantly striving to earn forgiveness, but simply accepting it as the gift it is. This isn't about maintaining a perfect record or making endless promises we can't keep. Rather, it's about daily dependence on a love that gives freely. The beautiful reality is that in Christ, we've been reconciled and made right with God. This peace doesn't require perfection from us but invites us into a way of living where faith becomes more than mental agreement—it becomes trust that empowers us to take steps forward, even when uncertain.

The Gospel invites us into a remarkable story—not of easy comfort, but profound transformation. Through Jesus Christ, we discover a hope that mends our broken relationship with God and offers healing for everything else. Rather than retreating into our isolated circles when challenges arise, we're called to live differently. Together, we can create flourishing communities through cooperation rather than competition. By following Jesus' way, seeing the world through His eyes, and joining His redemptive work, we participate in restoring all things. This journey isn't always easy, but it leads to a life richer and more meaningful than we could imagine on our own.

What if the sorrow and brokenness we've come to accept as reality are actually being undone? At Easter, we find the ultimate pivot point in human history. The cross—once a symbol of defeat and shame—has been transformed into a beacon of hope. The empty tomb whispers a revolutionary truth: death itself has been overcome. In Jesus's sacrifice and resurrection, we discover not just a spiritual concept but an invitation to experience a new kind of reality where everything sad is becoming untrue. This Easter story isn't merely about a historical event; it's about God reaching across the divide to restore relationship with us, offering authentic freedom and purpose that transforms our everyday lives. It's an accessible, tangible hope—unbelievably good news that speaks to our deepest longings for meaning and wholeness.

God's original design for humanity was a life of close relationship with Him. When we chose to pursue life apart from God, we experienced what Scripture calls "the fall." Yet God's love never wavered. Through Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross, we see God's true nature—loving, self-giving, and transformative. Jesus didn't just demonstrate God's love; He dismantled the broken systems of this world and initiated a new creation. This rescue mission invites us back to our original purpose: living as beings created in God's image, entrusted with authority and purpose. At the heart of this relationship is authentic freedom—the ability to choose to trust God and live in His love. Our story begins and ends with God's desire for connection with us.

In Jesus, we discover what it truly means to be human. He invites us not into a religion of rules, but into a relationship of love. At the center of this invitation stands the cross—a powerful symbol of both sacrifice and victory. Through His suffering, Jesus broke the chains of sin and death, proving that love is stronger than any darkness we face. When we follow Him, we begin to see ourselves and others differently. The cross reminds us that healing comes through wounds, that victory sometimes looks like surrender, and that God's way of restoring the world turns our expectations upside down. This isn't about checking religious boxes; it's about walking daily with the One who loved us enough to die for us, whose resurrection power now reshapes every part of our lives.

This month, our focus at the GLN is on leaving a leadership legacy and today podcast host (and GLN VP of Marketing), Whitney Putnam interviews GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft on his experience with organizational transitions and successions. David shares gems from his 30 years of local church leadership, including how to get started planning a legacy, and the one thing that can absolutely derail a positive transition. Every leader should be thinking about what (or who) will follow them, and this episode is a great starting point for your plans. 

In Christ, we find the freedom of being fully known yet fully loved. His sacrifice wasn't just another religious ritual—it was the ultimate game-changer that ended our endless striving for God's approval. Jesus invites us from rule-following into relationship-building. We don't want mere tolerance; we crave genuine connection. That's what Christ accomplished—not just forgiveness but complete restoration with God. We've been made holy through His sacrifice, while still being transformed daily. We don't work for salvation; we simply receive it by trusting Jesus' finished work. This isn't complex theology—it's the heart of Christianity as relationship, not religion, putting broken things back together.

A healthy and effective team culture is essential to organizational success, but building a culture of excellence is not automatic. Today's episode is a live recording of a workshop led by GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft. In the workshop, David shares how to establish team culture in a practical and effective way and explains how values and behaviors help drive successful outcomes for a team. In addition, David also runs through some of the specific values and behaviors that currently define the culture at the GLN.

Have you ever noticed how life seems to unravel when we try to control everything ourselves? In Christ, all things are held together, but when we pull away, things gradually fall apart. At its core, sin isn't just about breaking rules—it's about trust and authority. We struggle to believe God knows best, so we take matters into our own hands. When things go wrong, our instinct is to hide, blame others, or justify our actions. But there's another way. Jesus offers forgiveness that bridges the gap our sin creates. When we confess, we're not just admitting wrongdoing; we're expressing trust in His forgiveness. This trust allows us to experience true freedom and redemption. The beauty is simple: forgiveness reconnects us to Him, allowing us to live in the wholeness we were designed for.

The cross stands not as a mere decision but as a powerful collision where heaven meets earth. Through Jesus's resurrection, we discover that the cross wasn't defeat but victory revealed—a moment where God demonstrated boundless love, absorbed sin, and offered forgiveness. This isn't distant theology but an invitation to participate in Christ's victory, walking the path of discipleship where what Jesus did for us becomes inseparable from what he does in us.  As we journey forward, our security isn't found in theological certainty but in the beautiful reality that God honors even our imperfect faith. Jesus confronted the world's broken systems while bringing the redemption of shalom—and now invites us to join in this transformative way of living.

On the latest episode of North Shore Nine, we welcomed Fangraphs' Eric Longenhagen to discuss the Pirates' farm system and the prospects to watch in 2025. We covered Bubba Chandler, whose fastball and improving changeup have him tracking as a mid-rotation starter. Konnor Griffin's exclusion from Longenhagen's initial Top 100 was another key topic, but a swing adjustment has him trending upward. Braxton Ashcraft and Thomas Harrington were compared, with Ashcraft making the Top 100 thanks to his electric stuff, despite durability concerns. Other players discussed included Termarr Johnson, who faces a key season in Double-A, and Jhonny Severino, a high-ceiling prospect with raw power. Esmerlyn Valdez, one of Longenhagen's “Picks to Click,” and Anthony Solometo's outlook were also highlighted. The Spring Breakout Game was a major talking point, with prospects like David Matoma, Wyatt Sanford, and Tony Blanco Jr. expected to take the field. Longenhagen shared insights on what makes these players stand out and what to watch for in 2025.

Today's episode draws on the wealth of experience of GLN President and CEO, David Ashcraft, as he and GLN VP of Marketing Whitney Putnam cover a variety of topics related to working with teams. This conversation ranges from values, to empowerment, to conflict, and is absolutely full of practical leadership gems.  

God designed us to reflect His image through love. Many of us understand being a Christian without grasping what it means to truly follow Jesus. Instead of using Him to validate our agendas, we're called to be disciples—friends of Jesus who are empowered to love others. When we realize that God's very essence is love, we understand that loving others isn't just a nice behavior but our deepest purpose. This love gives freely, values others deeply, and always looks outward. And it starts with a simple truth: we love because He first loved us. His love flows through us, changing how we see the world and everyone in it.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin discuss their key takeaways from the team's 3-2 win over the Rays on Friday afternoon at LECOM Park in Bradenton, Fla. Jared Triolo made the start at first base. How did he do, and could this become a regular thing after his Gold Glove award-winning season last year as a utilityman? David Bednar and Colin Holderman also got through their outings unscathed Friday. What did they change from last time out, and is this a good sign for the future? Plus, Braxton Ashcraft struggled in his first appearance of the spring. Is this any cause for concern? Our duo answers those questions and more.

Following Jesus means becoming both a friend and apprentice, growing in love through His training. This relationship transforms our character and helps us embrace God's concerns as our own. As disciples, we take on new responsibilities that change how we see the world and work with others. The journey involves deliberate training of heart and mind as God guides us toward our unique calling—a path that's both challenging and deeply fulfilling.

Think of discipleship as starting an amazing friendship with Jesus - one that grows deeper as you follow His lead. Just like learning from a close friend who inspires you, following Jesus naturally shapes who you become. He invites you into this relationship not just to teach you about love, but to actually empower you to love others in ways you never thought possible. As you trust His way of doing things and let His influence work in your life (both in obvious and subtle ways), you begin to understand more about God's heart and purpose. This journey of friendship with Jesus isn't just about following rules - it's about experiencing a life-changing relationship where love is both the teacher and the lesson. The more you know Him, the more you're transformed by His love, and the more naturally you begin to share that love with others.

This month's theme at the Global Leadership Network is “leading with heart,” and in this episode of the Global Leadership Podcast, Whitney Putnam sits down with GLN president and CEO David Ashcraft. Together, they explore what it means to lead with heart and examine practical ways that leaders can begin to lead with openness and authenticity. David and Whitney also discuss how to avoid some potential pitfalls that can occur as leaders begin to open up to those around them.

At its heart, walking with God is about building a genuine, transformative relationship. Just as close friends naturally begin to share values, interests, and perspectives, following Jesus shapes who we are at our core. This journey isn't about making perfect promises or checking religious boxes – it's about learning to depend on God daily and allowing that connection to naturally flow into how we treat others. When we choose to be friends and followers of Jesus, He trains and empowers us to love in ways that impact not just our own lives, but the lives of those around us. Together, we're creating something beautiful: a community of people experiencing life with God and sharing that life with the world.

Our journey of healing reflects God's redemptive narrative—a profound transformation from brokenness to wholeness. As image-bearers, we're designed for deep connection, not just with each other but with our Creator. Trauma may fragment our sense of trust, but Christ's healing power invites us to integrate our wounded parts, allowing our bodies to become vessels of grace. Through faith, we can rewrite our story, moving from fragmentation to restoration, trusting that God's love can mend what seems irreparably broken.

Our minds are wired to trust God, yet we often get tangled up in our struggles and doubts. The beautiful truth is that real change starts the moment we choose to believe. It's not about just getting God's attention – it's about embracing the deep love He already offers. When we let His forgiveness work in our hearts, we find ourselves drawing closer to Him naturally. After all, Christ has set us free to trust completely, to rest in His faithfulness, and to experience the peace that comes from a heart fully surrendered to God. It's that simple: we're made for this kind of trust.

As we honored Dr. King yesterday, we sit with the weight of this moment - stepping into another Trump presidency. Many of us remain committed to working towards a country rooted in collective liberation. Mom and I decided to root our discussion around Dr. King legacy, and his last book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? In this two part conversation, we chat with three phenomenal women, Rev. Amanda Hambrick Ashcraft, writer, organizer, speaker, and Consulting Minister for Justice & Community Organizing at Middle Church, the founder of Raising Imagination, Avril Somerville, writer  poet, and author of A Journey Of Life On PURPOSE, and Yaa Abbensetts-Dobson, writer and author (Departure Story), editor, entrepreneur and founder of Spoken Black Girl, and host of The Healing Entrepreneur Podcast.  Together  we unpack - building beloved community, why the church must divest from the false ideology of white supremacy, continually organizing for collective liberation, decolonizing, resisting the rise of global fascism, standing in active intersectional solidarity with all who are oppressed (because of race, disability, sexuality, gender, gender identity, etc.) the importance of soul work, and the many ways our faith in God, and creativity can propel us forward (Micah 6:8). Rev. Amanda is passionate about the intersections of race, faith, politics, and parenting and having conversations that move us towards a liberated society. She has presented nationwide on topics including systemic injustice, religion, raising white children as anti-racist, and involving young children in advocacy. You can learn more about her work here.

In our rush through life, it's easy to miss what matters most. Our hearts aren't deceitful because they're bad – they simply respond to whatever we trust. That's why guarding our hearts is so crucial, not by building walls, but by creating space for God to work in us. Sure, we often struggle between what we do and what we really want to do, but there's always hope. When we learn to trust God instead of listening to voices of condemnation, we slowly become more of who He created us to be.

“Vision leaks” is a well-known leadership axiom, and to kick off January's theme of being a “purposeful leader,” Whitney Putnam sits down with GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft. In this conversation, they explore the role purpose and mission has in David's life and leadership. We'll also hear about some common pitfalls that leaders can face regarding purpose, and how he has learned to guard against them.     

Deep within us lies an innate understanding that we were created by and for God, designed for a greater purpose than our daily routines suggest. While regret often feels like an easier path to change, it only offers temporary relief rather than true transformation. Real change requires disrupting our normal patterns. The concept of My One Word isn't about making promises to improve—it's about adopting a perspective that helps us see God's active work in our lives, giving us a lens through which we can discover our authentic purpose and relationship with Him.

Waiting is hard in a world that craves instant results. We're challenged to see something worth pausing for, to let God reshape our desires and expectations. It's not about calculating potential outcomes but about trusting that the journey itself matters. The One we're waiting for is worthy of our patience, even when the waiting feels uncomfortable. Our trust transforms the waiting from a frustrating delay into a meaningful experience of growth and anticipation.

Our topic for December is “conflict,” and GLN President and CEO gets us started with this conversation with Whitney Putnam. We invite you to listen as David shares how his approach to conflict has evolved and some of the practical lessons he's learned over time. Conflict is inevitable, but it does not have to result in negative consequences; it can actually improve our relationships and our work together.

We're constantly bombarded by pressures that dictate our rhythm, often causing us to react without truly seeing. We chase deadlines, notifications, and expectations, losing sight of what genuinely matters. But there's a profound invitation to pause, to look deeper, and allow our experiences to stir our hearts. By paying attention to what we encounter and developing a mindful lens, we can break free from restless patterns and discover a more intentional way of living—one where we're not merely responding to external demands, but actively engaging with our inner landscape and the world around us.

In this episode, we sit down with Ashley Ashcraft, author of Mission-Ready Marriage, to explore the unique challenges and rewards of military family life. Ashley shares insights and practical advice on building a resilient marriage and family despite the demands of constant moves, deployments, and career sacrifices. We discuss: How to balance love and resentment when sacrifices feel overwhelming Strategies for pursuing career aspirations while constantly relocating Parenting effectively when going it alone How to navigate questions like "Did I marry the right person?" Approaching combat trauma with compassion and support Helping extended family understand the military lifestyle Establishing financial health in your marriage Maintaining intimacy despite long periods of separation Planning for the transition out of military life Whether you're part of a military family or simply looking for inspiration to strengthen your relationship, Ashley's wisdom will leave you feeling equipped and encouraged.

In the hustle of daily life, Advent offers a gentle reminder to pause and breathe. It's an invitation to find stillness amidst chaos, to quiet our restless minds and stop the constant pressure to produce.

For leaders, there's no avoiding failure; it just comes with the territory. However, how leaders respond when things don't go as planned—how they lead through failure—is absolutely critical. This month, we are going to focus on ways that leaders can lead through failure and turn potential disappointment into powerful lessons for growth and renewal. In this episode, GLN President and CEO, David Ashcraft, shares stories of times when things did not go as planned, and how he has learned to “fail well” over time.
