Podcast appearances and mentions of faith leadership

Pastors in expensive cities often cannot afford stable housing on ministry salaries. That financial pressure quietly threatens their ability to serve. If you want to see your faith show up in practical, tangible ways at work and with your money, this episode gives you a real example of what that looks like. Key Discussion Points Nicole explains how the Aslan Housing Foundation builds down payment assistance programs for pastors, using church investors, donor-advised funds, and self-directed IRAs to fund stable housing without competing with the church's general giving. She describes a core operating value: do nothing about staff without staff. Surveys go out to both church leadership and pastoral staff before any housing strategy is built, so the people with the actual need have a voice in the solution. Nicole unpacks what she calls a triple bottom line for investors: market-rate financial returns, a stabilized ministry, and a more secure pastor and family. She talks about how she brings her faith into secular professional settings without forcing it, including sending a simple email to a real estate team in Hawaii during flooding to let them know she was praying for their safety. She and host Addison Williams discuss how Christians in any profession hold two marketplace roles: what they do with their time at work and what they do with their money outside of it. About the Guest Nicole Marie Bergeron is the founder and CEO of Aslan Housing Foundation, a California-based nonprofit that helps churches develop housing strategies for their pastoral staff. She holds a joint degree in law and public policy and spent two decades in philanthropy and social impact work before launching Aslan in 2018. Her background gives her a systems-level view of a problem most church leaders have never named out loud.

Jonathan Berryhill joins Mike “C-Roc” for a powerful conversation about resilience, faith, leadership, and building a meaningful legacy. Jonathan opens up about his difficult childhood, growing up amid family struggles, instability, and adversity, and how those experiences ultimately shaped the man he is today. Rather than allowing his past to define his future, he chose to transform hardship into fuel for growth, discipline, and purpose.Throughout the episode, Jonathan shares his journey from being a standout high school athlete to serving as a U.S. Army infantryman deployed to Bosnia, where he developed the leadership, grit, and identity that would later become foundational to his entrepreneurial success. He reflects on the lessons learned through military service, fatherhood, marriage, and business ownership, emphasizing the importance of faith, intentional living, and leaning into the person you are called to become.The conversation also explores the difference between identity and occupation, why purpose matters more than motivation, and how discipline becomes the driving force behind long-term success. Jonathan discusses his upcoming book, Warrior to Wealth, which outlines his philosophy of finding your mission, forging your identity, and building your legacy.Packed with practical wisdom and heartfelt stories, this episode is a reminder that your past does not have to be a burden you carry—it can become the fuel that propels you forward. Whether you're an entrepreneur, parent, veteran, or someone searching for greater purpose, Jonathan's message will inspire you to lead with faith, serve with intention, and create a legacy that lasts for generations.Website-www.jonberryhill.com Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.facebook.com/jonhannah.berryhillhttps://www.instagram.com/jon.berryhill/

What do you do when you're trying to lead… but you're stuck under a bad leader? In this tactical and powerful episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach break down how Christian men can lead with faith, purpose, and strength — even when leadership above them is weak, flawed, or ineffective.Most people ask the wrong question: "How do I deal with a bad leader?" But the better question is:"How do I lead from the middle?" This episode explores how men of faith grow into stronger leaders when they stop focusing on what they can't control and start stepping into ownership, humility, and purpose where they are.Nick and Garrett walk through three powerful principles for Christian leadership in difficult environments:Mission Focus Over Complaining Instead of focusing on the limitations of leadership, men of faith focus on the mission. Complaining creates powerlessness, but purpose creates progress. When you trust God's sovereignty, you can lead with faith even in imperfect circumstances.Raise the Standards You don't need a title to lead. Christian men lead by example — raising standards, modeling discipline, and shaping culture wherever they are.Develop People and Solve Problems Great leaders don't wait for permission. Men of faith develop others, solve problems, and add value — even when it's not their responsibility.This episode also explores:Why God often places you under imperfect leadership on purposeHow faith grows when you don't have controlBiblical examples like David leading under SaulWhy quitting bad leadership can limit your growthHow humility unlocks leadership developmentWhy great men solve problems they didn't createThe truth is — leadership isn't about title. It's about faith, purpose, and influence. And sometimes, the greatest leadership growth happens when you're not in charge. This episode is a must-listen for Christian men who want to grow in leadership, strengthen their faith, and walk in purpose — even in difficult environments.  Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Mark Batterson is the lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C., and a prolific bestselling author known for his ability to blend faith, leadership, and personal growth into practical, lived-out wisdom. With more than two decades of writing and nearly 30 years of pastoral leadership, Mark has built a legacy centered on long obedience, bold vision, and unwavering trust in God's timing. In this episode, he joins Brad to unpack the core idea behind his latest message: "gradually, then suddenly." Brad and Mark explore the tension between patience and ambition, and why most meaningful growth in life and leadership doesn't happen overnight. They talk through the discipline of long-term vision, the importance of honoring those who came before us, and how setbacks often become the catalyst for greater opportunities. Mark shares stories from his own journey, from starting with just 19 people and $2,000 a month to leading a thriving, debt-free organization, and reflects on the deeper meaning of legacy: not what you accomplish, but what others accomplish because of you. "God has a way of showing up and showing off, almost every 'suddenly' is preceded by a whole lot of 'gradually." - Mark Batterson "We overestimate what we can do in a year or two, but we underestimate what God can do in 10, 20, or 30." - Mark Batterson "Legacy is not what you accomplish; it's what others accomplish because of you." - Mark Batterson This Week on The Wow Factor: The concept of "gradually, then suddenly" and how it applies to faith, leadership, and long-term success Why we overestimate what we can do in the short term and underestimate what's possible over decades The discipline of "long obedience in the same direction" and resisting the pull of instant results How honoring mentors and spiritual leaders can shape your path and perspective Why most "overnight success" stories are actually built over 10–20 years behind the scenes The difference between action regret and inaction regret, and why missed opportunities matter most over time How to think about legacy as influence that multiplies through others, not just personal achievement Mark Batterson's Wow Moment: Mark reminds us that real growth, impact, and transformation rarely happen on our timeline. The most meaningful things in life, faith, leadership, relationships, and legacy, are built slowly, through consistent inputs and daily obedience.  Connect With Mark Batterson: Mark's Website Mark's Books Mark's Facebook Mark's Instagram Connect With National Community Church: National Community Church Website National Community Church Instagram National Community Church YouTube   Connect With Brad Formsma: WOW Factor Website   Brad Formsma on LinkedIn   Brad Formsma on Instagram   Brad Formsma on Facebook   Brad Formsma on X

Today, we're talking about something every follower of Jesus should consider carefully—influence. Whether we notice it or not, we're constantly shaping the people around us. But what does Christlike influence actually look like, and how do we steward it well?

Brian is the Chief Influence Officer at Influence PEOPLE and a faculty member at the Cialdini Institute. He's an international speaker, coach, and consultant, and one of only a dozen people worldwide to hold the Cialdini Method Certified Trainer designation, as well as the Pre-suasion Trainer certification. He's written four books on influence, including Influence PEOPLE, named one of the Top 100 Influence Books of All Time. His LinkedIn courses have reached more than 800,000 learners, and his TEDx Talk on pre-suasion has surpassed one million views. Please send us your feedback and questions to: podcast@summit.org.

Fatherhood is not a role a man steps into when it is easy. It is a calling that demands clarity, responsibility, and presence. In this episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell welcomes Jesse Anderson, a fatherhood coach, court-appointed monitor, and ministry leader whose work focuses on helping men lead their families with strength, faith, and emotional integrity. Jesse shares his deeply personal daddy story, growing up without a biological father and learning how to become a dad through mentors, faith, and lived experience. The conversation explores why many fathers disengage after separation or divorce, how leadership breaks down inside families, and why vulnerability, forgiveness, and consistency are essential to raising healthy children. Together, Braswell and Anderson examine the role of faith in shaping masculine leadership, the difference between being present and being accountable, and how fathers influence both sons and daughters through modeling, structure, and love. From courtrooms to kitchens, the discussion centers on one core truth: children thrive when fathers rise. This episode is a grounded, faith-centered conversation for fathers, mentors, and anyone committed to breaking generational cycles and building purpose-driven families.

Ralph Rebandt, pastor of a Farmington Hills church, joins the conversation as he officially enters the race for Michigan governor.

Rebandt makes the case that Michigan needs moral clarity, transparency, and common-sense leadership to restore trust and move the state forward.

Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.

In light of the recent appointment of the Bishop of London, Dame Sarah Mullally, as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury, Azim Ahmed and guests examine whether women have shattered the glass ceiling of faith leadership.To discuss the issues Azim is joined by a panel of female faith leaders; the Very Reverend Dr Sarah Rowland Jones, Dean of St. David's Cathedral. Chine McDonald who is the Director of the Theos think tank. Zara Muhammed made history as the first woman to lead the Muslim Council of Britain, serving as Secretary General between 2021 and 2025, Rabbi Charley Baginsky is the Co-Lead of Progressive Judaism in the UK and Ireland. Together they examine the challenges of leadership in faith traditions shaped by patriarchal societies, the qualities women bring to leadership and the hope they have for the future of religious leadership and inter-faith relations.

In this powerful conversation, Phil Gerdes opens up about the evolution from building businesses driven by survival to leading with crystal-clear purpose. Phil shares his journey from being a 17-year-old entrepreneur knocking on doors to becoming a faith-based coach who helps leaders make internal shifts that transform their external results. This episode dives deep into what it really means to serve, how to transfer confidence across different areas of life, and why being "excuseless" separates true leaders from pretenders. Phil's raw honesty about his path from atheism to faith-centered business, combined with practical wisdom on presence and intentional living, makes this a must-listen for anyone ready to step into their highest influence.Episode Topics:The Evolution of Purpose: How Phil's driving force shifted from being "completely lost" at 17 to having absolute clarity about his purpose and callingService vs. Giving: Understanding the critical distinction between transactional giving and true service—and why the receipt for service is the act itselfConfidence Transfer: How to move confidence from areas where you're comfortable to new territories where you want to growExcuseless Leadership: Why successful leaders eliminate excuses entirely and the "die on the treadmill" mentality that separates achievers from pretendersFaith in Business: Navigating the intersection of faith and entrepreneurship, from real estate regulations to running a faith-based coaching companyThe Pause Principle: Why life happens in the pause—like the breath between inhaling and exhaling—and how to honor those momentsPresence as Practice: Practical ways to be fully present, from putting phones face-down at volleyball games to teaching kids about communication through real-world negotiationsThe Joseph Story: How strife and setbacks are God pulling the arrow back so you can fly farther than you ever imaginedInsights:"You'll never beat me on a treadmill because one of two things will happen: You're going to get off or I'm going to die." Phil's challenge to 150 people (and subsequent 35 one-arm push-ups against a D1 athlete) perfectly illustrates his philosophy of total commitment.Experience creates wisdom, not age. Phil dismantles the myth that clarity comes with age, explaining that intentional experience and how you receive each moment is what builds true wisdom.Confidence is earned by doing the thing without confidence first. The paradox of confidence: you need it to succeed, but you only get it by doing the work before you feel ready. The solution? Commit to systems so simple anyone could do them.Dreams happen when you're asleep; work happens when you're awake. Phil challenges the overplayed "what's your why" culture, arguing that purpose isn't manufactured at events—it's given through God or lived experience and demands faithful execution.Be a supporting cast member winning awards. You're not the main character in anyone else's life but your own. Your job is to serve exceptionally, not to demand the spotlight.If it doesn't fit the purpose and intention, say no—especially if money is the only reason you're considering it. Phil's current filter for opportunities ensures alignment over income.Phil Gerdes built his real estate career on execution, not theory—and now, he's built the system agents were missing. As founder of Shift Immersive Coaching, Phil delivers micro-level strategies that fuel macro-level growth. This isn't motivation. It's movement. Through SOPs, KPIs, and The Profitable Persuasion Method, Phil coaches agents...

Send us a textWhat if the secret to leadership success isn't finding perfect balance, but mastering the art of the pendulum swing? Jennifer Brown, former US Foreign Service Officer turned leadership coach, reveals why traditional work-life balance is a myth that keeps high-achieving leaders trapped in cycles of burnout and depletion.Drawing from her powerful personal story of physical breakdown after years of putting achievement before well-being, Jennifer shares the exact moment she realized her leadership approach wasn't sustainable. "I had wonderful boss who said to me: 'you have to put your own oxygen mask on first,'" she recalls. "It was like this gut punch—I'm not putting my oxygen mask on first, and how can I pour into my family, my son, my team at work when I'm so depleted?"This candid conversation explores the revolutionary concept of being the "CEO of your life" by intentionally directing your energy pendulum between priorities rather than attempting impossible balance. You'll discover practical techniques to interrupt negative thought patterns in seconds (without leaving your desk), how to identify your purpose through three revealing questions, and why defining yourself through achievement creates an unsustainable identity that eventually collapses.Jennifer's faith-centered approach offers a refreshing perspective on leadership development, emphasizing grace for yourself and others while building mental fitness practices that fit into your existing routines.

In this week's episode, I take the mic solo to reflect on the passing of Pope Francis and what his legacy means for faith, culture, and the ever-present world of politics. Raised in a deeply Catholic family, my experience as both a political commentator and a lifelong Catholic gives me a unique lens on how Church leadership ripples into our communities and institutions. My journey through religion, personal loss, and public service shapes how I look at the Catholic Church’s pivotal moments—and what comes next. I share candid and personal thoughts on the influence of Pope Francis, from his humble roots as the first Latin American Pope to the bold, sometimes controversial stances he took on climate change, LGBTQ inclusion, and the evolving role of women in the Church. I question how politics weaves its way into religion—and vice versa—and explore what it means when Church leaders step into the political spotlight. I don’t hold back about my critiques, including my call for married and female priests, and my opinion on separating personal choice from public policy. I also take you inside the secretive papal conclave, share my vision for a younger, more progressive Pope, and reflect on a moving personal encounter with Pope Francis in Rome. “Politics is in every bit of life. There’s politics in your offices, there’s politics in your friend groups, there’s politics in your tennis team, there’s politics in your playgroup.” ~Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: My reflections on Pope Francis’ legacy and his passing Pope Francis’ historic firsts and progressive actions The impact of Church's stances on major social and political issues Why I believe we should welcome married and female priests My critiques of conservatism and calls for reforming the Church The secretive process behind the papal conclave The essential role of women in transmitting faith and values Why there's politics in every layer of life Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.
