Program for 09/26/25 Interview: Jim Wood and Clayton Wood: Courageous Leadership

We're excited to kickoff our year and our theme of “Courageous Leadership” (Lessons from Nehemiah). God has placed a burden on the pastor's hearts to help men grow as leaders in our homes and church. Our year will be full of examples of leadership from Nehemiah's life. He not only organized and encouraged people (and artfully handled all opposition), but his greatest achievement may have been his loving leadership. Let's become the men God has called us to be — fully committed to Him, His Word, and His Mission.

What if the biggest thing holding you back as a leader isn't your skills or knowledge, but your inner operating system? ⚙️ In this episode of the ”Courageous Leadership Series,” Rosie Ward unpacks the “faulty programs” we all unknowingly downloaded in childhood that continue to influence our thoughts, choices, and leadership today. From the Overachiever to the People Pleaser to the Control Freak, these subconscious scripts can quietly fuel burnout, silence our voices, or lead us to chase worth in all the wrong places. Drawing on years of research and coaching hundreds of leaders, Rosie reveals the seven core faulty programs (and their sneaky cousins) — and, more importantly, how to start upgrading them.

Send us a textLaw enforcement leadership training avoids addressing toxic leadership because the very leaders creating toxic environments are often the ones funding training programs. The focus on positive psychology and war stories rather than confronting real leadership problems prevents meaningful change in police organizations.• Most popular law enforcement speakers either have no police experience or tell entertaining stories without addressing real issues• Training companies explicitly instruct trainers to avoid discussing toxic leadership to protect revenue streams• External challenges to policing (media, politics, activists) haven't changed significantly in decades• What has changed is how leaders respond—now apologizing and sacrificing officers instead of defending them• Rank-and-file officers recognize leadership problems immediately while higher-ranking officials often resist these conversations• Leadership improvement requires honestly addressing problems, not just offering positive platitudes• Plans to develop online programs and train-the-trainer certification to empower officers regardless of rank• True leadership isn't about rank but about influence and integrity at all levelsRemember to lead on and stay courageous as you navigate the challenges of law enforcement leadership.Join Our Tribe of Courageous Leaders: Get The BookGet Weekly Articles by Travis YatesJoin Us At Our WebsiteGet Our 'Courageous Leadership' TrainingJoin The Courageous Police Leadership Alliance

When the ground keeps shifting beneath us, courageous leadership means leaning into what's real; our experience, our humility, and our values. Mary Lynn Fayoumi, President and CEO of HR Source, brings decades of wisdom in workplace culture and HR leadership. She guides organizations through disruption with a clear focus on purpose and people, and she shows us how to do the same. We talk about what it takes to lead right now, when answers aren't clear and the pressure to act feels constant. Courage today looks less like having all the answers and more like pausing to process, listening deeply, and staying grounded in what matters most. It's about creating space for others, knowing your true north, and responding instead of reacting. Mary Lynn reminds us that it's okay not to know everything, and that strength often shows up as steady presence, not quick decisions. We slow down, reflect, and lead with calm, curiosity, and a focus on what truly matters. That's how we move forward together. Highlights 1. Calm Is a Superpower - Learn how to find your center and lead from it—even when everything around you feels chaotic. 2. Authenticity Builds Trust - Being real, showing emotion, and admitting you don't have all the answers creates space for others to do the same. 3. Processing Takes Practice - Hear why leaders need built-in reflection time and how routines can anchor clarity in the middle of noise. 4. Humility Creates Momentum - Letting go of control opens the door to innovation and stronger team engagement. It's about leading with people, not above them. 5. Purpose Is the Compass - When the path is uncertain, returning to your mission helps guide every decision with confidence and care.

In this truth-bomb-filled episode, I sit down with leadership engagement expert and founder of Take New Ground, Adrian Koehler. Known for his bold mix of tough love and deep compassion, Adrian dives headfirst into the raw truth about what makes leaders effective—not just exceptional. We unpack everything from fear-based leadership and the hidden costs of people-pleasing to building team cultures rooted in truth and commitment (not performance and politics). Adrian also challenges us to question our stories, face our fear, and stop hiding behind comfort and approval. If you're a Christian woman in leadership who's tired of over-functioning, burnout, or leading from a place of fear—this one will shake you up (in the best way). What We Cover: Why effectiveness matters more than being “exceptional” The myth of being “stuck” and how we keep ourselves there How fear is not the enemy—it's an invitation Why most leaders avoid hard conversations and what it costs them The connection between courage, faith, and taking meaningful risks How team culture must be built on commitment, not just competency What Jesus modeled about approval, courage, and disruption Resources Mentioned: TakeNewGround.com Adrian's Instagram: @adrian.k Public Trainings: The Revenant Process and Intrepid Leadership Training   I hope this episode blesses you!
