In this episode of Simple Faith, the focus is on how Jesus led and why his leadership remains influential despite never holding political office, commanding an army, owning a company, or writing a book. Drawing from John 10 and the shepherd-and-sheep image, the script highlights that Jesus' leadership began with relationship: the sheep recognize the shepherd's voice because he lived among them, guided them, protected them, and knew them by name. The key idea is that people may comply with authority, but they follow trust, and genuine influence comes from credibility and character rather than manipulation or power. Viewers are encouraged to reflect on whether others know their authority or their heart and to practice the spiritual discipline of presence by giving someone full attention in one conversation today.

Simple Succession episode 3 is here, a podcast series focused on helping churches navigate leadership transitions well. This week, Rusty George welcomes Dave Stone and Kyle Idleman to discuss the widely noticed successions at Southeast Christian Church from Bob Russell to Dave and then Dave to Kyle. Dave shares how Bob gradually increased his preaching, publicly affirmed him (including sitting front-row when Dave preached), and announced him as successor seven years in advance before handing off earlier than expected to avoid becoming a lame duck. Dave and Kyle explain how Kyle was first identified as a gifted young preacher, gained experience planting a church, then returned to join the teaching team without early public promises of succession, building trust through loyalty and inclusion in leadership. They discuss generational dynamics, managing change, resisting insecurity and “head games,” practical communication, benefits of timing and early wins, and what they're doing now, including Dave's Pastor to Pastor podcast and Kyle's book The Missing Messiah.

Christian retailers come to CPE looking for new books, gifts, jewelry, cards, artwork, and other Christian products, while authors have an opportunity to build relationships that can help place their books into independent Christian retail stores.Rebecca explains that AWSA is much more than a professional writers' organization. Its members consider themselves “AWSA sisters,” building a culture of cooperation rather than competition. Authors encourage one another, promote one another's work, and recognize that the ultimate objective is larger than individual book sales: getting the message of Jesus Christ into the world.In This EpisodeWhy AWSA partners its annual event with the Christian Product ExpoHow Christian authors and independent Christian retailers can support one anotherAWSA's training and mentoring opportunities for published authorsWhy book launches, marketing, and AI have become important parts of author trainingThe role of prayer, worship, and spiritual encouragement at the AWSA conferenceHow Christian writers can reach audiences through fiction, nonfiction, Bible studies, devotionals, children's books, gift books, and moreThe purpose of the Golden Scroll AwardsHow the Christian Market Book Awards provide opportunities beyond AWSA membershipWhy Christian authors need community rather than competitionEncouragement for aspiring writers who believe God has placed a message on their heartsAWSA's Protégé program for those who want help beginning their writing journeyWhy reaching children through Christian literature is especially importantHow every Christian writer can reach a different part of the harvestRebecca also describes the strong spiritual foundation of AWSA's conference—from prayer-warrior sessions and small-group prayer to worship and encouragement. As she emphasizes, Christian writers aren't simply producing products; they are carrying messages capable of reaching people with Christ.One of the central themes of the conversation is simple: no single author can reach everyone. Different writers, genres, testimonies, and ministries can reach different audiences. The more Christian writers are equipped and encouraged to fulfill their calling, the farther the Gospel can travel.Rebecca encourages established Christian authors who haven't yet “found their tribe” to explore AWSA, while aspiring authors can investigate opportunities to be trained and mentored as they develop the message God has placed within them.Recorded at Christian Product Expo 2026 in St. Charles, Missouri.KeywordsRebecca White, AWSA, Advanced Writers and Speakers Association, Christian Product Expo, CPE 2026, Christian authors, Christian writers, Christian publishing, Christian books, Christian women writers, Golden Scroll Awards, Christian Market Book Awards, Christian publishing industry, Christian retailers, independent Christian bookstores, Christian book marketing, author marketing, book launch, Christian speakers, Christian writing conference, Christian author conference, Christian ministry, Gospel, Kingdom of God, faith-based publishing, Christian children's books, Christian fiction, Christian nonfiction, Bible study books, devotional books, author mentorship, writing ministry, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS WrightCall to ActionHas God placed a message on your heart?

In episode two of Simple Succession, Rusty George interviews Cal Jernigan and Sean Palmer about leading healthy church transitions. Cal recounts his decades at Central—joining in 1987, becoming senior pastor in 1999 after an interim, and handing leadership to Sean in April 2025—explaining how the pressures after 2020, a failed successor situation, and personal fatigue accelerated the timeline to avoid harming the church. Cal describes why the board, not the outgoing pastor, should choose the next leader, how elders evaluated candidates, and how clarity on dates, roles, compensation, and expectations built trust. Sean shares why he made a second “follow-a-legend” move, what he learned from an earlier difficult transition, and how transferred trust, honoring the outgoing pastor, relationship handoffs, and a defined one-year transition helped the church stay stable while gradual changes began.

How can you raise kids who follow Christ in a world that constantly pulls them in other directions, and what does it look like to parent with grace, wisdom, and a long-term perspective? In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy and Sara sit down with Bible teacher and author Jen Wilkin to talk about the challenges and joys of raising kids who are formed by the gospel rather than the culture around them. Drawing from decades of parenting experience, Jen shares practical wisdom for navigating everything from discipline and boundaries to peer pressure and meaningful family conversations. Together, they discuss the importance of viewing children as image bearers, balancing rules and relationship, and keeping the long view in mind when making everyday parenting decisions. Jen offers encouraging reminders for parents in every stage, helping them trade performance-driven pressure for a deeper trust in God's faithful work in both their children and themselves. Whether you're in the toddler years, navigating the teen years, or somewhere in between, this conversation will encourage you to take a deep breath, hold on to what matters most, and trust that God's grace is at work in your parenting journey.

Rusty George introduces the Simple Succession podcast series on Simple Faith and interviews outgoing Willow Creek Community Church pastor Dave Dummitt and his successor, Shawn Williams, about their leadership transition. Dave explains how he knew it was time to step down after about five years by evaluating a defined list of goals and considering the church's upcoming 50th anniversary, then encouraging elders to vet Shawn while maintaining the decision as an elder-led process. Shawn describes moving back to Chicagoland, joining Willow to support Dave without aiming to become senior pastor, and how a two-year early conversation and added opportunities prepared him to lead. They discuss gradual “baton passes” with staff, elders, donors, and the congregation, the increased weight Shawn felt on day one, team-structure changes he made, Dave's post-transition sabbatical-like time, and the importance of honoring each other, patience, and seeking outside counsel.

Many creatives let the tough moments of life - a tragic loss, unexpected struggles, a season of isolation - steal their creative dream.

Paul to talk about the twenty-two years between writing down the idea for her first book and actually publishing it, and the incredibly difficult season of grief, loneliness and loss that filled a lot of that gap. You'll learn from her how to tell the difference between art as a healthy outlet and art as something you're hiding in instead of bringing your burdens to God.If you're carrying a loss you haven't figured out what to do with, or a calling you've convinced yourself is running out of time, this is an episode you need to hear.

What does it look like to follow Jesus in the everyday tension of motherhood, marriage, leadership, and personal healing? In episode four of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by author, Bible teacher, and podcaster Jackie Hill Perry for a raw and wisdom filled conversation about humility, trust, and the hidden work of sanctification. Jackie shares candidly about parenting four children while staying rooted in her calling, building a marriage grounded in friendship with her husband Preston, and learning to trust God in places of deep personal hurt and uncertainty. Together, they unpack what it means to live as disciples who choose obedience over ego, faith over fear, and gratitude over envy. This episode will encourage you to see God differently in your suffering, to embrace the narrow road of discipleship, and to trust that He is faithful in every step of your story.

When you hear the word gentleness, what comes to mind? If you're anything like me, you may think of someone who is quiet, passive, or soft-spoken. But what if we've misunderstood biblical gentleness all along? This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Christie Thomas, author of Everyday Prayers for Gentleness. As fellow authors in the Everyday Prayers series through Million Praying Moms, we share a passion for helping women become more like Jesus through the power of prayer. Christie reminded me that gentleness isn't weakness at all—it's Spirit-empowered strength. In our conversation, we discussed: • Why gentleness is one of the most countercultural fruits of the Spirit.• How Jesus perfectly modeled both strength and tenderness.• Practical ways to respond with gentleness in marriage, parenting, friendships, church relationships, and even online.• How choosing gentleness can transform the atmosphere of your home and point others to the heart of Christ. One statement Christie shared has stayed with me: "Jesus is never just the Lion, and He's never just the Lamb. He's always both." What a beautiful picture of the kind of strength God wants to cultivate in us. If you've been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or quick to react lately, I think this conversation will encourage you. It reminded me that the strongest people aren't always the loudest—they're often the ones most surrendered to the Holy Spirit. I hope you'll take a few moments to listen. My prayer is that God will use this conversation to help all of us become women whose words, attitudes, and actions reflect the gentle heart of Jesus.

Karen serves on the board of directors for the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association and helps connect Christian writers and speakers with ministry opportunities. Karen shares how God redirected her life from mathematics into writing, teaching her to simply say “yes” and trust Him to equip her for the work He called her to do. She explains how that obedience led to multiple book contracts and a ministry of writing resources for families, military households, women, and believers seeking peace and purpose.The conversation highlights Karen's book Stories of Faith and Courage from the Home Front, which features one story per day from 1755 to 2012, focusing on women, families, and children during America's wars rather than the battles themselves.
