God has called every Christ-follower to be a spiritual leader. Spiritual leaders lead by example. Our “walk” should equal our “talk.” If we say we are a Christian, then people should see it in our lives. As spiritual leaders we have a responsibility to pass our faith in Jesus on to the next generation. Let's be the spiritual leaders God has called us to be and lead with confidence in the Lord. Our God is with us and He is for us. Leaders lead. Now is your time, so lead.

“The Assemblies of God was founded as a cooperative fellowship that honors the calling and gifting of all Spirit-filled believers, not as a clerical hierarchy,” says a new Assemblies of God position paper. “As we seek to cultivate healthy spiritual leadership,” it continues, “we must resist any drift toward positional superiority and instead affirm diverse models of leadership found throughout the global church. To walk in step with the Spirit, we must honor the voices of those God has raised up from within, not just those with titles. The nature of spiritual leadership listens, learns, and leads in discernment within community.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Allen Tennison about “Misuse of Spiritual Leadership” (also in Spanish), a new position paper adopted by the General Presbytery of the Assemblies of God during its August 2025 meeting. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Allen Tennison is theological counsel of the General Council of the Assemblies of God and chair of its Commission on Doctrines and Practices. ————— This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Fostering an Environment for Connection.

The conversation emphasizes the need for leaders to manage their emotions and maintain their energy to inspire and energize their teams.

You can outsource your email. You can delegate your schedule.But you can't outsource your capacity.And if you don't expand what you can hold, your business will break you before it ever breaks through.This episode is your wake-up call if you're doing all the right things—scaling, optimizing, hiring—but still feel like you're about to snap. Because growth isn't about doing more. It's about holding more.In this solo episode, George Bryant peels back the curtain on a topic most entrepreneurs avoid: burnout. But not the kind you think. Burnout isn't a sign you need more time or tactics—it's a signal your capacity is maxed.George walks you through the 4 types of entrepreneurial capacity—mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical—and how each one is the real bottleneck behind your business. You'll learn how to build capacity from the inside out so you can lead with peace, purpose, and power—without breaking under pressure.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe real reason burnout happens (and why it's not about your to-do list).Why your business will never outgrow your capacity.How to expand your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical resilience.The myth of “doing more” and the power of being more.How to conduct a personal capacity audit—and what to do with the results. Key Takeaways✔️Burnout is not a workload issue—it's a capacity issue.✔️You can't scale a business beyond your ability to hold what it creates.✔️The 4 buckets of capacity: Mental (clarity), Emotional (resilience), Spiritual (faith/surrender), and Physical (energy).✔️Self-honesty, boundaries, stillness, and prioritization are non-negotiable tools.✔️Growth requires becoming the person who can hold the result—not just doing more. Timestamp Highlights[00:00] – Powerful myth-busting insight about growth and the trap of “doing more.”[04:24] – The myth of more. Why more strategy, delegation, and tactics won't grow your business if your internal capacity is capped.[08:48] – Understanding capacity.

George shares his personal view on faith and how spirituality forms the foundation of his capacity.[17:30] – Letting go of comfort. Why clinging to what got you here can hold you back from what's next.[21:54] – What cravings reveal. How our internal environment influences the food, habits, and energy we gravitate toward.[26:12] – Intentional flexing. Growth is about strengthening capacity across all dimensions, not just scaling strategies.[30:36] – Protecting your priorities. Whether physical, mental, or emotional, you must safeguard the capacity that fuels your life and business. Your Challenge This Week:Audit your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical buckets.Ask: Where am I maxed out or leaking capacity?Pick ONE bucket and commit to a daily practice to expand it.Because what you build is only as strong as what you can hold.Feeling maxed out but not sure where to start?Book a free call at mindofgeorge.com and say “CAPACITY” in the message to get personalized support from George.Join The Alliance – The Relationship Beats Algorithms™ community for entrepreneurs scaling with connection.Apply for 1:1 Coaching – Ready to grow your business with sustainability, impact, and ease?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 2:6-10: When Joshua dismissed the people, the people of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land. And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work that the Lord had done for Israel. And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 years. And they buried him within the boundaries of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of the mountain of Gaash. And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel. — Judges 2:6-10 Joshua's generation had seen the mighty works of God. They walked through the Jordan. Watched Jericho fall. Inherited a land they didn't deserve. They served God faithfully during Joshua's lifetime, and a little beyond. But then something terrifying happened. The next generation didn't know the Lord. Not just that they didn't follow him. They didn't even know him. That's not just spiritual drift. That's spiritual negligence. Somewhere along the line, the storytelling stopped. The personal testimonies faded. The discipleship broke down. The fathers assumed their faith would be passed on without intentionality. It didn't. This is one of the most sobering verses in all of Judges. It reminds us that spiritual inheritance is never automatic. It must be pursued, communicated, and modeled. Your kids won't inherit your faith through osmosis. They'll catch it when they see it lived, taught, and treasured. And the men around you? They're watching too. If you don't talk about God's faithfulness, who will? If you don't model repentance, courage, and trust, what will they imitate? We are always one generation away from forgetting God. But we're also one conversation, one moment of obedience, one act of spiritual leadership away from changing that. Don't assume. Disciple. ASK THIS: Am I being intentional about passing on my faith? Who in my life needs to hear what God has done for me? What spiritual habits am I modeling for the next generation? How can I turn assumptions into intentional action today? DO THIS: Tell one younger person in your life today about something God has done for you, and why it matters. PRAY THIS: Lord, don't let me waste my spiritual influence. Help me lead those behind me to know You deeply and love You faithfully. Amen PLAY THIS: "Faithful Now."

Why do so many great leaders burn out? In this episode of the Linch with a Leader podcast, host Mike Linch sits down with Dr. Karyn Gordon, CEO, author of The Three Chairs, and leadership/relationship expert, to talk about the one skill every leader needs but often neglects: self-care.Whether you're leading a business, church, nonprofit, or family, this conversation will help you discover why self-care is not selfish and is the secret to great leadership, strong culture, and lasting influence.Mike's Leadership Lessons:- Leaders must balance self-care with caring for their teams.- The three chairs concept is timeless and applicable across various contexts.- Emotions in leadership are contagious and impact team culture.- Finding and maintaining purpose is crucial for effective leadership.- Professional growth should be a priority for leaders and organizations.- Play and laughter are essential for reducing stress in the workplace.- Clear goals enhance confidence and engagement among team members.- Regular check-ins and cadences help maintain focus on purpose.- Investing in employee development is key to retention and engagement.- Leaders should seek to understand their divine purpose and align their actions accordingly.Welcome to the Linch with a Leader Podcast, where you're invited to join the spiritual principles behind big success, with host Mike Linch.Subscribe to the channel so you never miss an episode: Watch: @linchwithaleader Prefer just listening?

Feeling the pressure to perform, please, or prove? Leadership doesn't collapse because of external pressure — it unravels from internal misalignment. This episode shows you how to reclaim influence from the inside out.When pressure builds — do you perform, please, or posture?In today's episode, we're diving deep into a leadership truth few acknowledge: real influence doesn't come from managing perception. It comes from anchoring in identity — especially when the stakes are high.Whether you're a founder, creative, or leader carrying silent pressure, this episode reveals how internal misalignment slowly erodes your presence, integrity, and impact. Drawing on the story of Jesus in Gethsemane, we show how leadership under pressure isn't about getting louder — it's about getting truer.If you've ever felt the cost of being misunderstood, the temptation to over-explain, or the exhausting urge to control outcomes — this conversation will recalibrate your core.You'll learn:Why identity-level congruence is your leadership stabilizerHow performance-based leadership creates hidden fracturesWhat it really means to lead from integrity, not imageThe quiet power of presence when words fall shortToday's Micro Recalibration:“Where am I leaking energy trying to be understood, instead of being anchored in who I am?”Return to alignment. Let presence speak louder than performance.Team Recalibration Prompt:Bring this to your team: “Here's what I've been reflecting on about my own leadership under pressure. I'm committed to leading from clarity, not reaction. What's one way we can each protect integrity over perception in our work this week?”Start here — because your leadership wasn't meant to be performative. It was meant to be powerful — from the inside out.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 2:1-3: "Now the angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, 'I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to give to your fathers. I said, "I will never break my covenant with you, and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars." But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done? So now I say, I will not drive them out before you, but they shall become thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.'"— Judges 2:1-3 Before judgment falls, God speaks. Judges 2 opens with the angel of the Lord delivering a direct confrontation. It's not gentle. It's not subtle. It's the voice of God reminding His people what He's done—and what they've failed to do. “I brought you out… I gave you this land… I made a covenant…” But then: “You have not obeyed my voice.” This is what makes God's discipline just. He doesn't strike first—He speaks first to ensure we see the connection. He calls us back before the consequences come down. Israel had compromised. They'd made peace with pagan people and their altars instead of tearing them down. They tried to combine obedience with convenient opportunities. But God doesn't bless half-obedience. He confronts it. And now, He announces the result: “They shall become thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.” Simply put: he gives them over to the gods they want and allows their consequences to teach. God is patient, but not passive. He won't force us to obey, but he will let us feel the cost of ignoring him. And sometimes, the thorns in our lives are the result of altars we refused to tear down. What compromise have you let linger? What altar have you left standing? The warning is abundant. The confrontation is just. The invitation still stands. Return. Obey. Tear down what doesn't belong. Do you need to tear something down? Do so, and avoid the consequences and the need to hear God's just voice. ASK THIS: What's one clear instruction from God I've delayed or avoided? Have I made peace with anything God told me to destroy? What “thorns” am I experiencing because of disobedience? What altar needs to be torn down in my life today? DO THIS: Identify one compromise you've tolerated—and take specific action today to remove it from your life. PRAY THIS: God, thank You for speaking before You discipline. Help me hear Your voice and respond with immediate obedience. Amen PLAY THIS: "Holy Spirit."

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 1:27-33: Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages, for the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land. When Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not drive them out completely. And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them. Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them, but became subject to forced labor. Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, or the inhabitants of Sidon or of Ahlab or of Achzib or of Helbah or of Aphik or of Rehob, so the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out. Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, so they lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to forced labor for them. — Judges 1:27-33 It started small. One tribe didn't fully obey. Then another. Then another. Until compromise became the norm, Manasseh, Ephraim, Zebulun, Asher, and Naphtali—all of them— failed to drive out the people God had commanded them to remove. And the language is chilling: they did not drive out… they lived among… What began as a delay turned into disobedience. Disobedience evolved into a cultural shift. Before long, coexisting with sin replaced conquering it. Here's the danger: when one man compromises, others will follow. When one tribe accepts partial obedience, others begin to believe it's acceptable. Spiritual apathy is contagious. It numbs courage. It silences conviction. And it spreads through passivity. As Christians, our influence carries weight. Your kids, your friends, your brothers, your church—they're all watching. Not to see perfection, but to see consistency. To see surrender. To see obedience even when it's hard. You may think your compromise only affects you. But it doesn't. It affects your circle. And eventually, it reshapes a culture. Don't underestimate the influence of your obedience—or your passivity. This is your call to drive out what needs to be driven out. Don't coexist with what God has called you to confront. Stand up today, even if others sit down. ASK THIS: What area of my life have I let slide because others around me have? Who's watching my obedience and learning from it? What sin or habit have I tolerated that God has clearly addressed? What would courageous obedience look like today? DO THIS: Identify one spiritual compromise you've tolerated due to others' influence, and take a stand to reject it. PRAY THIS: God, I don't want to blend in with spiritual apathy. Give me the courage to confront what others have ignored and to live fully surrendered to You. Amen PLAY THIS: "Give Me Faith."

Have you ever asked yourself? When's the last time I really asked my kids what they think about God or faith? How can I start the journey of exploring faith side-by-side with my kids? What are the ways I can create more open, judgment-free conversations with my children? For many dads, the idea of being a “spiritual leader” in the home feels intimidating, even paralyzing. Maybe you grew up with rigid, guilt-driven religious expectations or maybe you just don't feel like you know enough. The truth? None of that has to stop you. In fact, the most meaningful spiritual leadership happens when we admit we don't have it all figured out—and decide to walk the road of faith together with our kids. My Favorite Protein Level 1 Bars   Creatine Overdrive  Hydration Sticks Larry and Ethan get real about their own experiences growing up Catholic—the guilt, confusion, and the struggles to make sense of complex religious teachings. They share how, as adults, they've navigated those challenges together and discovered the power of learning side by side, embracing faith as a shared father-son journey rather than a top-down lecture. You'll hear their honest talk about breaking down the barriers of feeling “not good enough” to lead spiritually, why vulnerability can actually be your greatest asset in these moments, and practical ideas for connecting with your children around faith without fear or overwhelm. Plus, they touch on the importance of building a personal relationship with God—outside of simply following rituals or attending church—and how even small daily steps, like reading a chapter from the Book of John together, can transform your family's spiritual life. So if you're a dad who's ever felt uncertain about how to talk faith with your kids, or if you're looking for encouragement to deepen those connections, this episode is for you. Let's step into the arena together, lead and learn as a team, and discover what it truly means to create a legacy of intentional, faith-filled fatherhood. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube Today, we dig into: You don't have to “have it all figured out” to lead spiritually: Many dads, including myself, feel intimidated by spiritual conversations because we think we need to be experts. The truth? The best leadership often comes from learning side-by-side with our kids. Make it a journey, not a lecture: Spiritual leadership isn't about preaching from a pedestal. It's about reading, questioning, and growing together—sometimes stumbling, sometimes leading, always learning. Relationship over ritual: The most powerful faith lessons come from genuine connection and conversation—not just attending church or following rituals. Building a relationship with God, and helping our kids do the same, is what matters most. This episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and practical advice for fathers who want to step up as spiritual leaders without the fear of not being “good enough.” Here's what research and observation highlight about religious and spiritual conversations within families: Studies found that 58% of men admit to avoiding religious or spiritual conversations for fear of being unprepared or judged. Research  found that 67% of adolescents reported feeling more connected to parents when both were engaged in joint learning or spiritual exploration. Research indicates that 73% of practicing Christian parents say it's essential to teach their children about the faith, yet only 35% report regularly engaging in spiritual conversations at home. thedadedge.com/alliance https://1stphorm.com/?a_aid=dadedge

In this message about diligence, Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell teaches us that true success isn't just about behavior, but about a full mindset shift. The kingdom starts within us—with transformation, discipline, and relentless diligence.

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.
