Why COVID Disproportionately Affects People of Color with Dr. Efrem Smith

Jon Huckins

There’s a big difference between peacemaking and peacekeeping. Peacekeeping starts with relationship and is a proactive movement toward conflict that disrupts pseudo-peace. It’s an opportunity for transformation that requires that we say hard things within shared life together. In a country that’s incredibly divided and where Christians are some of the most divisive voices, Jon Huckins, co-founder of The Global Immersion Project, believes that there’s a better way forward by building bridges, not walls. With compelling vision, he invites us to lead with curiosity more than criticism so we can be more connected. Jon shares how he’s confronting patriarchy and white male privilege with compassionate courage. He offers three practical steps for when/how/if to engage the divisive communities and people who have hurt us through marginalizing the “other”.

Build Bridges Not Walls with Jon Huckins

“Impressing is exhausting.” Manda knows firsthand what a life of trying to impress others will do for your body, soul, and spirit. When you get to the end of yourself and you don’t want to continue living like that, what’s next? Manda believes that giving yourself space isn’t selfish, no matter your life-stage. It’s possible to create sustainable rhythms of work, play, and rest so you can live fully. It will cost you something to create space, but if you don’t, you’ll pay an even greater cost.    Follow Here: Website: https://mandacarpenter.com/ Social Media: @mandacarpenter

Pete Enns

When your faith doesn’t fit into the boxes you grew up with or what’s been taught to you, now what? Dr. Pete Enns is a leading theologian, author, and guide to those of us who still have faith, but not like it used to be. This raw conversation goes after how we can deconstruct our faith without abandoning it, how to recover from a faith that’s been weaponized against the marginalized and gives you permission to hurt in the wilderness. We also dig into what an “ezer” is in Scripture and how men can partner better together with women. This episode will make you chuckle from the sass yet make you feel seen in your faith journey.

Jeanne Stevens

This global pandemic has swiped us off our two feet and left us spinning in life and leadership. Anxiety, stress, disappointments, and loss have become the dominant narrative. What if COVID-19 was an invitation to learn to grieve and lead ourselves better? Leaders must learn to lead themselves better if we want to others with compassion and courage through this pandemic. As a veteran leader and senior pastor at Soul City Church in Chicago, Jeanne Stevens has experienced loads of grief and has learned how grief can lead us toward wholeness. We talk about how grieve these losses, how unprocessed grief shows up in our life and leadership, and how we can practice wise self-leadership during this challenging time.

The Global Fringe

For a while now I’ve wanted to do a series on faith and being LGBTQ+, but I wanted it to be the right time with the right people. The time is now. Can you be gay and Christian? How do you reconcile a couple Bible verses with being affirming? How does reparative therapy work – or not? How do LGBTQ+ Christians feel like an “insider outsider”? What can we learn about God through their stories? Perhaps most importantly, how can we be bridge builders regardless of our theological position?    Over the next few episodes, I’m going to share the stories of some brave friends who are LGBTQ+ and are people of faith. But before I open up their stories to you, I want to share a bit of my own journey in processing faith, theology, and the testimonies of non-straight folks. If there was ever a global fringe, it’s here.

Kathy believes, “When more of us from different intersections and margins raise our voices, we live a fuller picture of the Good News.” Taken from her brand new book, Raise Your Voice: Why We Stay Silent and How We Speak up, we dive deep into how race, gender, and culture impacts our voice, thus see a fuller picture of God. Kathy tells the biblical story of Esther in a way I’ve never heard before but resonates so deeply. In this episode, she doesn’t shy away from addressing issues of justice and mercy and how we are created to use our voice for the betterment of another. And as a justice warrior, Kathy helps us identify necessary self-care as an act of political warfare. Kathy is a writer, speaker, and a new yoga teacher.Connect with Kathy’s work at www.kathykhang.com or email her directly at morethantea@gmail.com.Follow her on social media at @mskathykhang.

Fifty years ago Dr. King said America’s most segregated Christian hour in the week is Sunday morning. It’s 2019 and we have not come far enough. DK is a pastor who’s lead worship at two influential churches in the U.S and has experienced being a leader on the fringe in a dominant white space. His immigrant family’s story alongside his international leadership journey has given him a unique global perspective. With a provocative voice with a commitment to building bridges from the dominant white space to the marginalized, DK pulls back the proverbial curtain around why there’s a lack of diversity in churches, what to do about it, and the ONE THING he’d tell leaders you need to do if you want to build more inclusive teams. A solid mixture of leadership challenge, practical personal ideas, and sharing our own friendship story, this episode will push any thoughtful leader or church to better reflect the image and nature of God in their context.   Check out the diverse team DK leads at Mariners Worship on iTunes/Spotify, particularly the album "A Death Like His", re-imagined songs for the lent journey.

Transition and loss are inevitable if you’re a living, breathing human. When you’re a leader, those losses can be public and even more devastating. Ashlee Eiland knows this too well. She was in a public role at Willow Creek Community Church 18 months ago when the scandal broke. Over the last year and a half, she’s needed to navigate her internal journey alongside leading others through a massive betrayal and loss. With brave vulnerability, Ashlee lets us in on how she’s processed confusion, fear, loss, and feeling overwhelmed. She offers her own story as a guide for how to leave when you know your time is up, what to do if fear isn't a part of the equation, keys to not spinning out of control, the role of clarity in transitions, and what loss reveals. Ashlee also offers the #1 lesson she’s learned in transition. This episode is packed with wisdom.

The Enneagram is the most transformative tool we’ve both ever used in life + leadership (and we’ve used a lot of them)! In this episode we identify why it’s more than a personality or self-awareness assessment, and describe one opportunity and one warning for each type. If you’re new to the Enneagram, your curiosity will be peaked as we reveal how the opportunities and warnings play out in real life. If you’re a leader, you must listen to this for your own self-leadership, but also so you can lead those around you from a healthier place.

Your Enneagram Leadership Warnings + Opportunities with Irene Cho

Brooklyn Lindsey

Let’s talk about set backs and detours. Sometimes even when you intentionally design your life, life happens and you have to first deconstruct and tear down what you've built up until now. What must you do when you’ve had a disruption in your life – like getting fired, being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, or walking away from an unhealthy job? Brooklyn has had to do this at multiple points throughout her life. She’s learned how to course correct so she can live freely. And you can too. In this episode, she talks about the non-negotiables in designing a life that’s fully you. She vulnerably shares about depression, isolation, suffering, and stuckness, not as an end but as a pivot point to move forward. When disruption happens, what got you here won’t get you there and Brooklyn offers specific ideas and holy hope for all of us.

Design Your Life After Disruption with Brooklyn Lindsey

Mindy Caliguire

Self-reliance. Narcissism. Striving. Overwhelmed. Powering up. Pushing through. These are all words sometimes used to describe leaders. Leaders on the fringe desperately need to design soul care rhythms, postures, and practices in order to lead from a different place. It is possible to learn the unforced rhythms of grace and find rest for your soul. As a spiritual formation and soul care expert, Mindy Caliguire has experienced both ways of life and has some serious practical wisdom if you want to design a life of wholeness and thriving. In this episode she talks about the difference between self-care and soul care, and what practices leaders need to be well. She identifies the #1 problem for leaders and confronts the narcissism we see in spiritual leaders today. We talk about the “Popeye arm” and what’s necessary to develop soul-saving muscles for the long game.   Follow Here: https://www.soulcare.com.

As a spiritual formation and soul care expert, Mindy Caliguire has experienced both ways of life and has some serious practical wisdom if you want to design a life of wholeness and thriving. In this episode she talks about the difference between self-care and soul care, and what practices leaders need to be well. She identifies the #1 problem for leaders and confronts the narcissism we see in spiritual leaders today. We talk about the “Popeye arm” and what’s necessary to develop soul-saving muscles for the long game.

Design Your Soul’s Care with Mindy Caliguire

Albert Tate

Albert is respected lead pastor of one of the fastest-growing multiethnic churches in the United States, but this is not an interview of the shiny “successful” version of Albert. I don’t care so much that he’s spoken on ginormous stages, had the ear of “influential” leaders, or contributes to important Boards. This conversation is about what’s the benefit if you gain the whole world and lose your soul. Leaders need to first define the reality of their own soul, life, and wellness.  As we define reality for ourselves first, it must extend to those they lead. Albert’s one internal journey lead him to leave what’s safe for a vision that compelled him toward more.    Follow Here:  Podcast: Albert Tate Podcast  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alberttate/

Danielle Strickland

Breathe in: BE. Breathe out: LOVED. You are beloved. Danielle goes deep fast into how to grow deep roots in our tree of life. What daily, weekly, and monthly postures and practices root us in love? Danielle shows us her personal transformational pathway. We like celebrating the fruit of our lives, but what if the fruit is rotten or bitter? Instead of “shoulding” all over ourselves, go back to the roots. They reveal our deeply held beliefs, which lead to the trunk or values of our life. The branches represent our actions and show up in the fruit of our lives. Danielle believes we must pay attention to our body, soul, and spirit in order to cultivate wholeness, but our body shows us what’s really going on. It will open us up to more.

Life as a Tree with Danielle Strickland

Daniel Merk-Benitez

Spoiler alert: I cry for the first time on this podcast while listening to Daniel’s story. He vulnerably opens up about being a church kid, who loved God, and believed something was wrong with who he was. He speaks to what he’d wish for the church and how he’s living out his faith now.     About Daniel: In a previous life, Daniel Merk-Benitez was a church kid and eventually became the creative director for a large evangelical church in San Diego. After coming to his senses, he left vocational church work and decided to try something else. Professionally, he’s currently an interior designer. Unprofessionally, he dwells in and finds his place among Hillcrest, the predominately LGBTQ neighborhood near the city center of San Diego. Unashamedly queer, Daniel is embedded in the LGBTQ community and has found relational depth beyond anything he ever experienced within the church walls.    Follow Daniel on Instagram: @dmerkbenitez

New Season. New Focus.

When you’re a high performing leader contributing important work, doing what matters internally and in your work matters a great day. Leaders, activists, and helpers are known for getting things done, but doing the internal work so you can sustain the external work is vital to lead with wholeness. Jeremy Del Rio is a failed youth pastor, former lawyer, and current Founding Executive Director of the Thrive Collective in New York City. In 1998 as a 21-year old, he took on Mayor Rudy Guiliani as he battled for the educational rights of kids in his community. For the last 20+ years, Jeremy has been listening to the needs of his community, creating a plan, and doing the hard work to design a new future for the under-resourced in NYC. This episode will enlarge your heart and give you hope for sustainable leadership, even in hard places. BONUS: If you need a simple but effective evaluative tool to measure how you’re doing, ask: “What’s right? What’s wrong? What’s confusing? What’s missing?”   Support the Thrive Collective Here: http://www.thrivecollective.org Follow Here: Facebook: Jeremy Del Rio  Instagram: @jeremyrdelrio

Jennifer Alejandra Guerra Aldana

Jenn Guerra has defined her present reality by living into the history of those who’ve gone before her. A Guatemalan immigrant to the U.S., a daughter of church planters, a bilingual pastor + intercultural leader today, she’s discovered the “beauty of particularity” in her story as she’s connected herself to the bigger story of where she comes from. We discuss the two questions you must answer completely if you’re going to live your life in all its fullness. She both code-switches + speaks prophetically for white people about how our privilege + place impact our ability to answer those questions. With passion + conviction, Jenn leads us into a deeper understanding of what faithfulness looks when you define who you are and where you’re from.    Follow Here:  Facebook: Jennifer Guerra Aldana

Nick Roach

What can a former NFL linebacker turned stay-at-home dad teach us about partnering as a husband and father? So much! Nick has done two things very few men do in their lives: compete at the highest level of football for 8 years and become a stay-at-home dad. In this episode, Nick shares about what true masculine strength looks like (SPOILER: opposite of toxic masculinity), how the posture conflict is critical for intimacy, and what he’s intentionally giving his kids that he never had. Nick opens up with tender strength about supporting his wife and kids’ dreams, even at his own expense. Perhaps the most ridiculous part of this episode is April failing to make sports analogies. #epicfail

Tara Russell

As one of the most successful social entrepreneurs on the planet, Tara knows the best work leaders can do is their inner work. Five years ago, she began an unwelcomed, “unraveling” journey that led to uncovering deep pain, and yet, the unraveling kept inviting her into freedom. During this pattern interruption, she noticed things that weren’t working for her and began integrating her life – especially her body – in new ways. In this episode, Tara gets vulnerable about how she’s reclaiming her story as a step toward wholeness and models how clarity, courage, and conviction leads us toward our best life. As she’s done the faithful, inner work, she shows how abundance is surrounding us if we will simply shift our mindset.   Follow Here: @taravrussell

Do the Inner Work with Tara Russell

What got you here won’t get you there. Disruptions and shifts are common for leaders and people committed to their own growth. But, if you’re going to get to where you want to go, you need H.A.B.I.T.S. You need new practices and rhythms to make room for growth in your life. Willpower, goals, and good intentions aren’t good enough. Yet there’s solace as we grow because as Dr. Goodloe says, “We are all hypocrites in transition. Beneath the beauty, there’s brokenness.” Paying attention to the broken can guide you to toward better ways to do your work. In this episode, we also talk about how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a fringe leader who did a couple of crucial practices to keep his soul and leadership well. If you’re going to design a life you love, you need to do the work that will get you where you want to go.
