Young men today wrestle with more than just career choices and relationships - they're searching for authentic purpose in an increasingly complex world. While there's no shortage of advice out there, many find themselves craving real guidance from someone who's walked the path before them. It's one thing to read about leadership in books, but it's another to learn from someone who's weathered the storms and emerged stronger. This is where mentorship becomes not just helpful, but essential - creating a bridge between hard-earned wisdom and those eager to learn from it. Shane Winnings is a leader, mentor, and author focused on faith-based initiatives. With a background in the military and law enforcement, he now leads at Promise Keepers. Shane authored Your Next Leap of Faith, helping readers strengthen their faith. Through his podcast, he discusses leadership, faith, and personal growth. Today, Shane shares how he overcame challenges that tested his faith and offers insights on leadership, mentorship, and remaining committed to one's beliefs. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond! Quotes: “Many Christians are afraid of stepping outside their comfort zone. They continue to provide for themselves without taking risks. Faith is spelled R-I-S-K. So, you take a risk for God and watch Him meet your need.” – Shane Winnings “If you can't pray with her, you're not going to marry her. You need to be praying with her. God is the perfect father when it comes to dating.” – Shane Winnings “Our hope is in a person, not in an outcome. If your idea of a perfect life as a Christian is never losing any of your fingers, well, you're in for a reality check.” – Shane Winnings Takeaways: Identify areas in your life where your actions may not fully align with your professed beliefs and set specific goals to adjust those actions accordingly. Choose one aspect of your faith where you are hesitant and take a concrete step to embrace risk, trusting that growth often comes from stepping outside your comfort zone. Reach out to a potential mentor who exemplifies the qualities you admire and initiate a discussion about how they can guide you on your personal or spiritual journey. Develop a regular practice of praying with a partner or group, focusing on deepening your spiritual connection and supporting each other's growth. Join or start a community group committed to exploring faith and personal development, providing a space for shared learning and accountability. Conclusion: Faith isn't just about Sunday mornings or memorized verses - it's about living boldly in a way that reflects your deepest convictions. When we dare to step beyond what feels safe and comfortable, we often discover strength we never knew we had. The journey isn't meant to be walked alone. Whether through mentors who challenge us to grow or friends who keep us grounded in truth, authentic relationships shape us into who we're meant to become. It's in this space - where belief meets action, where wisdom meets courage - that we find our true north and build lives of lasting impact.

Pastor Brian Hughes from Passion Community Church shares his journey to faith, which began later in life after experiencing a pivotal moment with his daughter. Despite initial challenges and criticisms, Brian followed God's guidance to create a church for non-traditional churchgoers, leading to significant growth and impact. His emphasis on trusting in God's provision, taking risks, and fostering a culture of transparency and delegation has allowed the church to thrive and reach a wider audience. The importance of aligning actions with God's will, seeking feedback, and empowering others within the organization are key themes in Brian's leadership approach, ultimately resulting in a supportive and accountable community focused on continuous progress and following God's calling.

In our American quest for a more perfect union, we often mistake unity for sameness. We mistake unity for conformity. But the functional unity of a system—seems to actually require diversity, distinction, and difference.In this episode, Christy Vines (Founder/ CEO, Ideos Institute) reflects on the problem of division today; how we increasingly invest our identity in politics instead of faith or spirituality; humility and privilege; the definition of unity and the assumption of diversity in it; the centrality of empathy; and how to cultivate an empathic wisdom grounded in the life and witness of Christ.The Ideos Institute is currently sponsoring 31 days of Unity leading up to the 2024 election. Visit thereunionproject.us or ideosinstitute.org/31-days-of-unity to learn how to participate.About Christy VinesChristy Vines is the founder, President and CEO of Ideos Institute where she leads the organization's research on the burgeoning field of Empathic Intelligence and its application to the fields of conflict transformation, social cohesion, and social renewal.Prior to founding Ideos Institute, she was the Senior Vice President for Global Initiatives and Strategy at the Institute for Global Engagement (IGE) where she served as the managing and coordinating lead for the development of strategic institutional partnerships and global initiatives in support of the IGE mission to encourage flourishing societies and stable states, and promote sustainable religious freedom, human rights and the rule of law globally.

She currently resides in Pasadena, CA.Show NotesHoward Thurman on Unity, Meditations of the Heart (Beacon Press: 1981), 120–121“Plotinus [205–270 CE] wrote, “If we are in unity with the Spirit, we are in unity with each other, and so we are all one.” (Plotinus, Enneads, VI.5.7.)Sign up for 31 Days of Unity https://www.ideosinstitute.org/31-days-of-unity(Re)Union Project and Ideos InstituteChristy Vines's experience with diversity and unity in her family: differences in faith, race, gender, sexuality, and religionHow Christy Vines came to faithThe problem of divisionHow neuroscience illuminates scripture and offers insight into empathic wisdom“There are so many ways to love God.” (David Dark)How we invest our identity in politics instead of religionMoral absolutism vs moral relativismAbdicating our faith identity for a political identityTechnology and relationships“Loving God differently”“In the cosmic Christ, you have all of the space you need for the kind of diversity in unity that you're talking about.”“It's the expectation that in order to work together, we really do have to look exactly the same, that we have to think the same things. That's the only way to collaborate. So until we can get past those of disagreements, there's just no way to work across the aisle. And that is disastrous to the concept of a democracy and the concept of the church.““There's so many ways to be an American. There's so many ways to be human.”Humility and privilege“There is something about desperation and need that brings, that illuminates God's beauty, majesty, and importance in such a powerful way that I think so many of us that are born into plenty will never experience until the other side of heaven.”The definition of unity: grounded in empathy“Unity is about finding ways to be the body of Christ with all of our diversity and difference and saying that with humility, Here is my perspective. Here's how I understand God. Here's how I live out my faith. Here's what that might mean culturally or politically and all of the other ways we express our faith. And to be unified means maybe we can all be moving in the same direction on different paths, coming at it from different directions, but recognizing we're all trying to reach the same goal. And that maybe in that shared experience, And that rubbing against one another is, our pastor used to say, heavenly sandpaper, refining one another.

This is the concluding episode in the series: Unity, Faith & Leadership.  I have heard more than now than ever, conversations by our people, rejecting the need for leadership.  As social beings co-existing in the world, not only must we work cooperatively, but we should also recognize there is a natural requirement for leadership. The observation of nature demonstrates just how ordinary it is that there is leadership amongst bodies or group.  The sun leads the planets, the silverback leads the troop and the bee hive is centralized around the queen. Our dismissal of leadership is a miscalculation we cannot afford to make.  Our needs are too great and the change we need is too massive that we dismiss the ordinary convention of leadership.

Of our greatest handicaps are our lack of unity and faith in ourselves that we can effectively tackle the most significant needs of our people.  Confidence and the fervent belief that we can change the conditions of our people for the better is a must if we are going to take a serious look at improving the lived experiences of our families and communities.   Without faith in ourselves, we are hopeless to do better.  It is an essential quality for establishing a promising future and achieving any goals we set for ourselves.   If you would like to engage with the Nurah Speaks podcast, submit your listener questions or topic suggestions to info@NurahSpeaks.com.  Listeners can also learn more about Nurah by visiting her website:  NurahSpeaks.com.

Improving outcomes and the conditions of our people requires Unity, Faith and Leadership.  Unity as a concept is easy to understand if we are discussing sports, music and social (status) organizations.  But Unity is very difficult for the most of important of missions including family, education and changing our communities. Individualism is the antithesis of Unity and is an impossible tool for success.  Our bodies are a perfect example of Unity.  The heart does not work in separation and selfishness from the other organs of the our body.  The heart pumps blood to the other systems that is returned to it oxygenated by the lungs.  Without our lungs functioning, our heart fails.  If our heart fails, our kidneys fail. Our body is a system of co-dependent organs working collectively in service of the whole. Individualism is not a tool to make the greater body of our people successful.  Unity is always the basis for success.  But we also must rid ourselves of the barriers to Unity-jealousy, suspicion, laziness, selfishness, self hatred.

Success in all spheres of life depends on personal development and leadership involving integrity, self-improvement, goal, and purpose. Faith provides an ethical foundation, builds resilience and belonging, and helps one to match activities with basic values. Good leaders inspire people by means of constant acts that reflect their principles by virtue of honesty and faith. This fosters a trusting atmosphere that inspires others to share their vision. Montell Jordan shares his story of highs and lows, marked by his rise to fame in the music industry and the personal challenges he faced along the way. Humbling experiences can lead us to seek a deeper connection with our faith. Tune in to learn more about his journey of faith, integrity, and the relentless pursuit of personal excellence. Quotes: "Discipline is the gift that you give to yourself, and deadlines are the gifts that others give you when you lack discipline." – Montell Jordan "If you're ever given the opportunity to humble yourself or to be humbled by God, always choose to humble yourself." – Montell Jordan "The challenge moving forward is for us to stay rooted and grounded in our API and our human intelligence enough to not be fooled by the artificial stuff that's coming." – Montell Jordan Takeaways: Being honest and open about who you are, which means having integrity and sincerity, is important even when you're by yourself or scared. To grow and be successful, you need to put your roles and beliefs first, follow your passions, and learn new skills. Looking to God for help can help you get through tough times, but it's important to stay grounded in reality. As an example of perseverance, Jordan finishing his degree later in life shows how important it is to never give up. Putting money into relationships, especially marriages, not only heals families but also makes communities stronger. Legally helping artists also helps the arts community grow. Conclusion: Dealing with several roles calls for both ethics and prioritizing. Giving family and personal values top priority helps us to lay a strong basis for our several obligations. Living with integrity guarantees that our activities are sincere and consistent with our values. This approach results in a more grounded and fulfilled life. Live honestly and trust in the path that follows from your values.

Josephine Sundqvist the General Director and CEO of LM International (Läkarmissionen) came on the podcast. We explored development and the importance of partnership. Why focusing on empowerment is more efficient than maximizing short term returns. Why it might be the right ove for companies as well to stop thinking of profits as the end and instead see it as a means for something greater. We also speak of faith and leadership and the importance of hope. As well as what it means to have keep a gaze oriented towards the potential while not wavering from the (sometimes) harsh reality as it is. This is a truly wonderful conversation. Enjoy!

Activist, Pastor, and Global Leader Evan Mawarire reflects on the role of Christian faith in democratic leadership, specifically looking at three significant Gospel passages that reveal not just Jesus's approach to leadership, but how he teaches his disciples to lead with peace, humility, compassion, and faith.In Mark 4, we find Jesus leading from peace, rest, control, and trust, peacefully sleeping in the midst of a storm, while the disciples prematurely conclude: “Don't you care that we are going to die?” In Mark 10, when two of the disciples play political games for their own glory, Jesus responds with a teaching of humility and a subversive glory—that the greatest will in fact be the servant of all. And in John 13, Jesus displays this humility and compassion by washing the gross and grungy feet of his friends, and teaching Peter that a leader is first a student, and the student isn't greater than their teacher.This episode was made possible in part by the generous support of the Tyndale House Foundation.

Other boats were with him. 37 A great gale arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. 38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?' 39 He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!' Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. 40 He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?' 41 And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?'See also: Luke 8:22-25, Matthew 8:23-27“Don't you care that we are going to die?”Jesus's goal of leadership developmentMark 10:35-45 ****35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.' 36 And he said to them, ‘What is it you want me to do for you?' 37 And they said to him, ‘Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.' 38 But Jesus said to them, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?' 39 They replied, ‘We are able.' Then Jesus said to them, ‘The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.' 41 When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. 42 So Jesus called them and said to them, ‘You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 43 But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.'Pastor Evan's work in Zimbabwe's Citizen's movement“Lord, give us a seat at the table that decides the future of this nation.”Prayer: We ask for harvest, God plants a seed.How do we prepare our leaders?Luke 6: “The student is not above the teacher.”Reversing the roles: being served versus servingLeadership is not designed to be comfortablePeople are at their worst when we are in crisis, but this is when we're supposed to see leaders at their best when we're in crisis.Sheep without a shepherdLoss of trust and the Global Trust BarometerLeadership is not just about the right skill set, it's importantly about the right heart set.Washing the feet of the disciplesJohn 13:1-171 Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 4 got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.” 11 For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.” 12 After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. 16 Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.HumilityCompassionIt's not easy to leadStarfish Story: “To that one it made a difference.”“Someone who knows how to lead, knows how they have been served themselves.”“Where can plant seeds of impact?”“How do we faithfully look after these sprouting of servant leadership, of people that understand that leadership is about serving are more than it is about being served.”Back to urgency and patience—the only way to plant seeds is to plant now and wait.“Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.”“There are two most important days in your life—the day you were born and the day you discover why.”Patience and the crafting of leadershipAbout Evan MawarireEvan Mawarire is a Zimbabwean clergyman who founded #ThisFlag Citizen's Movement to challenge corruption, injustice, and poverty in Zimbabwe.
