In this episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Peyton Jones talks with Eric Geiger, pastor of Mariners Church and author of The Rooted Leader, about what church planters can learn from the life and leadership of Nehemiah.Eric shares how teaching through Nehemiah shaped both ministry leaders and marketplace leaders, helping them see that faith is not disconnected from their Monday-through-Friday work. Together, Peyton and Eric unpack why Nehemiah resonates so deeply with leaders who carry both a burden for their city and a belief that God can do immeasurably more than they can ask or imagine.The conversation explores credibility, conviction, perseverance, capacity, and the kind of rooted leadership that can withstand the real pressures of ministry. Eric also reflects on why church planters often resemble Nehemiah: they carry vision, rally people, coordinate teams, face opposition, and keep building even when the work feels overwhelming.They also discuss the Rooted Network, discipleship, sending well, and why church planting partnerships are healthiest when they are relational, not merely transactional.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:The Rooted LeaderEricGeiger.comRooted NetworkNewBreedTraining,comThanks for listening to the Church Planter Podcast.

In this episode, Eric Geiger and I dig into what's growing underneath a leader's life. We've all watched leaders fall over the past few years, and the wreckage takes a long time to clear. Eric's conviction is that we keep working on the things we can see, when the real question is the root system beneath it. We read Nehemiah as a leadership journal, talk about vision as burden and belief intermingled, how credibility gets built when trust in leaders is at an all-time low, what's actually worth fighting, and why being overwhelmed might be something that grows you rather than takes you out.Eric Geiger serves as the senior pastor of Mariners Church in Southern California, where he lives with his wife, Kaye, and their two daughters, Eden and Evie. Eric received his doctorate in leadership and church ministry from Southern Seminary. Eric has led in both marketplace and ministry settings, as senior vice president and chief business officer of a publishing company, a consultant on vision and strategy, and a local church pastor.Eric's Book:The Rooted LeaderConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Can leadership be too optimized? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, Eric Geiger joins host Jason Daye to explore why lasting leadership requires more than better systems, sharper strategies, and greater competency. Drawing from the story of Nehemiah and his book The Rooted Leader, Eric shares why our world desperately needs leaders whose vision, decisions, and leadership flow from deep roots of burden, belief, and dependence on God.In a culture obsessed with optimization, many pastors and ministry leaders feel pressure to improve, refine, and maximize every aspect of their leadership. While growth and effectiveness matter, Eric offers a timely reminder that leadership can become dangerously self-reliant when competency begins to replace dependence on God. True leadership health is formed beneath the surface.Together they discuss:Why burden and belief are the necessary roots beneath true visionHow the pursuit of optimization can subtly move leaders from dependence on God toward confidence in their own abilitiesWhy faithful leadership requires both perseverance in the fight and trust that God is fighting for usHow healthy leaders embrace both restlessness for God's mission and intentional rhythms of restWhy focusing only on the visible fruit of leadership can cause leaders to neglect the deeper roots that sustain long-term ministryEric also shares personal reflections on rest, family, and leadership sustainability, including how trusted leaders around him help ensure he cares well for himself and those closest to him. His honesty serves as a reminder of the importance of finding those who can help us care well for both others and ourselves.If you are a pastor or ministry leader seeking to grow in leadership while remaining deeply dependent on God, this conversation offers both encouragement and challenge. Lasting ministry fruit is never produced by optimization alone. It grows from leaders who cultivate deep roots of faith, trust, conviction, and dependence on the One who ultimately builds His Church.Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?
