FEATURING: Bob Tiede ORGANIZATION: Leading with Questions At 77, Bob Tiede isn’t slowing down – he’s doubling down on purpose. In this episode of iRetire4Him, he explains why retirement isn’t about stepping away, but stepping into your most strategic years of influence (just like Moses, Joshua, and Caleb). Bob admits he once led as a “benevolent dictator:” kind but convinced a leader’s job was to figure it out and tell others what to do. Everything changed when he discovered a better model: lead with questions. Here’s what that might look like: In leadership roles, ask: “What do you think we should do?” Let others talk 80% of the time. Follow up with: “Tell me more.” In mentoring, ask deeper questions like: “What three or four events most shaped who you are today?” Why? Because when people answer their own questions, they own the outcome. And when they feel heard, they trust you. Bob also shares how this approach bridges generations. Younger leaders don’t want lectures. They want someone genuinely curious about their story. Ask well, listen carefully, and watch how influence grows naturally. His newest book, Success Unlocked, features 39 of the most impactful blog posts from over 1,300 blog articles on question-based leadership. Interested in putting your experience to work? Bob invites retirees to coach emerging leaders through Cru, just one hour every other week for two years (training provided). Just reach out to Bob at bob.tiede@cru.org. Retirement isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cru dives deep into one deceptively small word with outsized consequences: had.Before writing from the prompt fanfaron—a swaggering bully or cowardly boaster—we get into a lively craft discussion about the pluperfect tense (the “past of the past”). Why does it so often feels forced? How, as a writer, do you know it's actually doing meaningful work on the page? Murph makes the case against overusing had, PC breaks down how context can replace grammar, and Father Spud champions the musicality of the pluperfect in Southern oral storytelling.Stories this week begin around the 16:30 mark.Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?

Welcome to the Pinkleton Pull-Aside Podcast. On this podcast, let's step aside from our busy lives to have fun, fascinating life-giving conversation with inspiring authors, pastors, sports personalities and other influencers, leaders and followers. Sit back, grab some coffee, or head down the road and let's get the good and the gold from today's guest. Our host is Jeff Pinkleton, Executive Director of the Gathering of the Miami Valley, where their mission is to connect men to men, and men to God. You can reach Jeff at GatheringMV.org or find him on Facebook at The Gathering of the Miami Valley.Amy Seiffert is an author, speaker, pastor, wife, and co-ringmaster to her circus of three kids. She grew up listening to the clamorous keys of her father's typewriter. Writing, humor, puns, rhymes, and communication were just a regular part of her life.Having loved and studied literature and writing in high school and college—once Amy was introduced to Jesus—the Bible became her favorite text to explore. She joined staff with Cru at BGSU after graduating college and began teaching and speaking about God's word regularly.  Through many face plants and mud slides in Amy's life, God opened doors to begin to write books and to travel and speak, inviting others to discover grace in their daily lives. She is attending Denver Seminary pursuing a Masters In Biblical and Theological Studies. Amy is also one of the pastors at Soma City Church in Toledo, OH. Her family has walked through infertility, depression, anxiety, a Crohn's disease diagnosis, an ADHD diagnosis, and several other valleys and mountain tops. As they keep walking whatever path God has them on next, her hope is to use humor and storytelling to anchor them in the truth that God is with us, for us, in us, and working through us.

S8EP1, Give Through Intentional Living with Larry O'Nan In this insightful episode, Larry O'Nan—mentor, coach, and pioneer in lifestyle stewardship—shares wisdom from over 40 years of guiding Christian leaders and organizations across 30+ countries. From launching Cru's first comprehensive fund development initiative to shaping a theology of generosity that transformed ministry fundraising, Larry's journey is rooted in purpose, faith, and intentional living. His book Intentional Living and Giving offers practical, biblical guidance for those seeking clarity, direction, and a life of lasting impact. Show Benefits: ~ Learn how biblical stewardship can transform your approach to purpose, giving, and leadership. ~ Discover practical steps to overcome confusion, fear, and hopelessness through intentional living. ~ Gain insight into how generosity and purpose are deeply connected in a fulfilled life. ~ Understand the role of deception and distraction in derailing personal growth—and how to overcome it. ~ Be inspired by a legacy of global impact and learn how to apply timeless principles to your own journey. Larry O'Nan is a seasoned mentor and coach with over 40 years of experience guiding ministry leaders, Christian organizations, and individuals in over 30 countries towards thriving in the principles of life-style stewardship. Larry graduated from the University of Colorado with a BS in English from the School of Education. Rather than pursue teaching, Larry followed his calling into full-time ministry, utilizing his strengths in leadership, writing, and management. After two decades in ministry leadership, Larry transitioned to consulting, guiding Christian ministries and mentoring leaders in stewardship and fund development. In 1972, Larry launched the first comprehensive fund development initiative for Cru, where contributors became ministry partners investing God's resources in kingdom work. This initiative grew over 14 years, serving as a model for other ministries and generating millions of dollars through generous giving. Larry's study on stewardship in 1978 transformed fundraising within the ministry through the integration of biblical stewardship teachings into fund generation. His theology of generosity impacted countless partners and laid the foundation for a billion-dollar funding initiative. From 1986 to 2013, Larry expanded his reach, providing guidance to multiple Christian ministries and coaching leaders in integrating stewardship teaching with proven fund development practices. Today, he offers advisory services to select non-profits, specializing in partner development, fund management, funding initiatives, and non-profit governance. Larry currently resides in Highland, CA.

Has God called you to something… only for it to fail completely?Bill Bright failed TWICE at UCLA in the spring of 1951—zero salvation decisions. But after saturating the third attempt with 24/7 prayer, over half the attendees at the first event received Christ. In a matter of weeks, it exploded onto the UCLA campus. The fall of 1951 launched Campus Crusade for Christ on a breath-taking trajectory for the next 50 years, growing into the largest global missions movement in modern history. Also known as Cru in the US, Campus Crusade celebrates its 75th anniversary this year.Brad Bright shares the untold story: success isn't in the plan—it's in prayer focused dependence on God.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE; hit the BELL for more God is the Issue Podcast episodes.

In this insightful episode, Larry O'Nan—mentor, coach, and pioneer in lifestyle stewardship—shares wisdom from over 40 years of guiding Christian leaders and organizations across 30+ countries. From launching Cru's first comprehensive fund development initiative to shaping a theology of generosity that transformed ministry fundraising, Larry's journey is rooted in purpose, faith, and intentional living. His book Intentional Living and Giving offers practical, biblical guidance for those seeking clarity, direction, and a life of lasting impact. Larry O'Nan is a seasoned mentor and coach with over 40 years of experience guiding ministry leaders, Christian organizations, and individuals in over 30 countries towards thriving in the principles of life-style stewardship. Larry graduated from the University of Colorado with a BS in English from the School of Education. Rather than pursue teaching, Larry followed his calling into full-time ministry, utilizing his strengths in leadership, writing, and management. After two decades in ministry leadership, Larry transitioned to consulting, guiding Christian ministries and mentoring leaders in stewardship and fund development. In 1972, Larry launched the first comprehensive fund development initiative for Cru, where contributors became ministry partners investing God's resources in kingdom work. This initiative grew over 14 years, serving as a model for other ministries and generating millions of dollars through generous giving. Larry's study on stewardship in 1978 transformed fundraising within the ministry through the integration of biblical stewardship teachings into fund generation. His theology of generosity impacted countless partners and laid the foundation for a billion-dollar funding initiative. From 1986 to 2013, Larry expanded his reach, providing guidance to multiple Christian ministries and coaching leaders in integrating stewardship teaching with proven fund development practices. Today, he offers advisory services to select non-profits, specializing in partner development, fund management, funding initiatives, and non-profit governance. Larry currently resides in Highland, CA.
