“I was trying to figure out what's my lane that I need to be saying yes to? And what are the things I would have to say no to so that I can say yes to the better things?”Kent Chevalier's speaking journey is anything but conventional. In this week's episode of The Speaker Lab podcast, Grant Baldwin sits down with Kent, a longtime pastor turned Pittsburgh Steelers chaplain—who's built his career at the intersection of faith, leadership, and personal courage.Kent opens up about transitioning from preaching in churches to mentoring professional athletes, and how the toughest challenge wasn't the change of audience, it was learning to truly value his craft. Like many who come from service-driven backgrounds, Kent faced the uncomfortable work of charging for his expertise, despite years spent speaking for free. He shares honestly about wrestling with guilt, setting boundaries, and deciding that his time spent away from his wife and daughters needed to be respected and compensated.Underneath it all is a message familiar to anyone striving to turn passion into a profession: fulfillment comes from betting on yourself, even when the path feels risky. Whether he's backstage at an NFL game or leading a business seminar, Kent's mantra of “do it afraid” holds true. If you need a push to embrace your own next leap, Kent's story will remind you that your purpose is bigger than any one season, and your gifts are worth every bit of what you ask!You'll learn:Kent's role as a Pittsburgh Steelers chaplainPreaching new content as opposed to reusing talksNavigating which opportunities to accept and declineChallenges of charging for speakingTarget audiences and adjusting approach based on event contextImportance of expert positioning and business fundamentalsAnd much, much more!“I love encouraging people to embrace fear and to jump because comfort is really a robber.

Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!In a world that celebrates rapid growth, platform-building, and constant success, it's easy to take on leadership strategies that promise bigger, better, and faster results. But when these approaches clash with the invitation of Jesus to embrace the cross, where does true, lasting influence come from?In this episode, Nicole Massie Martin, author of Nailing It, unpacks the spiritual paradox at the heart of healthy leadership—how surrender, humility, and even seasons of struggle can form us as leaders and empower the people we serve.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCUDE:Christian leaders often merge values like maximizing and growing their ministries, risking a "resurrection only" mindset that ignores suffering.Markus Watson highlights that the moments of deepest closeness with God often emerge from times of pain.Nicole Martin frames power neutrally, stating that its impact depends on how leaders use it—to empower or to hoard.Power must be used for God's glory and for empowering others, not for self-aggrandizement.Markus Watson admits that the temptation for influence and control is a real struggle in leadership, even when intentions are good.Nicole Martin explains that surrendering power as a leader looks like developing teams and creating an environment where others feel empowered to fulfill their calling.Nicole Martin shares a personal story of feeling powerless as a board member until another leader affirmed her authority and encouraged her participation.Empowerment should be modeled by leaders who intentionally invite others to use their own power and gifts.Ego is complex and influenced by cultural worldviews such as honor-shame, guilt-innocence, and power-fear.Nicole Martin emphasizes the importance of anchoring one's self-worth in the love of God, not in achievement or shame.Markus Watson describes how personal failure and pain loosened his unhealthy grip on ego and led him to ground his worth in being God's beloved.Nicole Martin asserts that healthy ego in leadership is characterized by deep confidence, humility, and openness, rooted in one's belovedness by God.Leaders must recalibrate their pace and surrender speed to God's timing, resisting the burnout that comes from adopting the relentless pace of the world.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Christianity TodaySoulfire International MinistriesBooks mentioned:Nailing It, by Nicole Massie MartinLife of the Beloved, by Henri NouwenAbba's Child, by Brennan ManningSurrender to Love, by David BennerEmotionally Healthy Spirituality, by Peter ScazeroFalling Upward, by Richard RohrRelated episodes:112.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Adam Gilchrist for a look at the biggest global stories making headlines. Today’s viral stories are equal parts shocking, spiritual, and out-of-this-world. First, horror in Mexico as dozens of unburied bodies are discovered piled up at an abandoned crematorium, raising urgent questions about neglect and dignity in death. Then, a rare moment of global curiosity: the Dalai Lama has sparked debate about who will succeed him and whether China will try to control the process. And finally, something a little lighter, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet took fine dining to new heights with a gourmet meal in space, proving that even in orbit, the French will eat well. Bongani makes sense of the news, interviews the key newsmakers of the day, and holds those in power to account on your behalf.

In this episode of "Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott," Landon addresses controversial topics surrounding gender, sexuality, and the stance of Christianity. He discusses the influence of societal changes on traditional Christian beliefs, emphasizes the importance of aligning theology with scripture rather than empathy, and critiques the rise of what he calls 'progressive Christianity.' Landon argues that aligning with God's word means recognizing only two genders and opposing any form of sexual sin outside biblical marriage. He identifies three critical mistakes the church makes about homosexuality: making it the greatest sin, not addressing it, and affirming it. Practical advice for spiritual growth and battling temptations is also provided, along with a call to prioritize biblical teachings over cultural influences.

Welcome ✨Hey beauties. In this episode, I'm continuing our journey with the power of questions as portals for light and transformation. Last time, we explored how asking “Why am I doing it?” can help us move through limitations. Today, I want to share another question that has become a guiding light for me, and I'll take you through the story of how it first arrived in my life.Episode Summary
Jesus is building His church—but what do we do when there's no more room? We take our cues from four desperate friends: we tear the roof off. This week is a call to radical faith and sacrificial mission, to do whatever it takes to get people to Jesus.

What happens when the institutions we've trusted start to crumble and we realize they were never meant to carry the weight we gave them? Today, I'm joined by Angie Ward. She invites us into a deep reimagining of the Church, not just as a building or an organization, but as a Spirit-formed people living on mission together. Angie has spent decades in both church and parachurch worlds, and she brings hard-won wisdom and clarity to a question many of us are asking right now: what is the Church supposed to be? We talk about the historical split between church and parachurch, what it would look like to move from siloed excellence to shared mission, and why this cultural moment might be the perfect time to rethink everything - not out of panic, but out of trust. We discuss institutional collapse, missional ecosystems, scarcity vs. abundance, and how to step into new paradigms when the old ones stop working. If you're sensing the shaking in the foundations and wondering what's next for the people of God, join us as we imagine an ecosystem of missional extensions. Angie Ward (PhD, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is director of the Doctor of Ministry program and associate professor of leadership and ministry at Denver Seminary. She is the author of Uncharted Leadership: 20 Case Studies to Help Ministry Leaders Adapt to Uncertainty and I Am a Leader: When Women Discover the Joy of Their Calling. Angie has over thirty-five years of leadership experience in church, nonprofit, and higher education ministry. A sportswriter in a previous life, Angie loves running, basketball, humor, and movies. She and her pastor-husband live in Denver. They have two grown sons and one very spoiled beagle.Angie's Book:Beyond Church and ParachurchAngie's Recommendations:Good AuthorityCompeting Against LuckSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Today, we're taking a look at the unraveling mayhem situation in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to lead has allowed chaos to run absolutely wild. Violent riots involving illegal immigrants (most of whom are military-aged men) are breaking out across the state. These individuals are not assimilating, they are disrupting, demanding, and waving foreign flags while burning ours on American soil. As California spirals, it's no surprise that federal intervention has become necessary. President Trump has stepped in where state "leadership" would not. This really isn't about politics, it's about preserving order, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law. We are a people who serve a God of justice, not disorder. What's happening is not compassionate, it's destabilizing. California deserves better, and America must wake up before this becomes the norm nationwide. God forbid. Let's talk about what's really going on in California and why prayer, truth, and resolve are crucial right now.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqJuDPZk6H7VWSxgepSo3RWAJCtIGO9wrHmULH1iMgxSzkJ791_--Order CULTure: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S

Your family is watching. Every word you speak, every decision you make, every moment you lean into God—or don't—shapes the spiritual atmosphere of your home. You may not feel ready or equipped, but if God has called you to lead your family, He will speak to you as you do it.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." — Joshua 24:15Spiritual leadership isn't about being perfect. It's about being present—and surrendered. Joshua didn't say, “As for me and my house, we'll figure it out as we go.” He made a declaration. A decision. A stand.As parents, we are the gatekeepers of our homes. We decide what is allowed in spiritually and what is kept out. And that leadership isn't just lived in big moments—it's lived in the ordinary:* Choosing prayer over panic.* Choosing Scripture over popular opinion.* Choosing to model faith when your kids are watching—and when they're not.Your children need to see you seeking God. They need to hear you bless the family before dinner, repent when you fall short, and speak life over them when they're discouraged.They also need you to fight spiritually. That means standing on God's Word when fear tries to enter, praying over your spouse and children daily, and keeping your home set apart for God's glory.Spiritual leadership is not just your role—it's your assignment. And no matter your past, God has equipped you with everything you need to lead well. You just need to answer the call.Question of the Day:What is one specific way you can step more fully into spiritual leadership in your home this week?Mini Call to Action:Declare out loud today—“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Then act on it in one visible, intentional way before the day ends.Let's Pray:Father, give me the courage to lead spiritually with humility and strength. Let my home be a place where Your presence is known and Your Word is honored. Teach me to walk with You, so my family can follow. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Your home doesn't need a perfect leader—it needs a surrendered one.Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

He also shares personal stories and practical advice on how to gain spiritual authority through asking God, serving faithfully, and fasting. The episode encourages leaders to seek a deeper relationship with God to move beyond just influence and become effective spiritual leaders.
