Theologian of the Boss

Dr. Brian Shelton, author of the book Quest for the Historical Apostles, sits down with me and talks about what we can learn as leaders from the life and ministry of the apostles.

John Brandon, author of numerous articles for INC. and Fox News, talks about his new book Lifeblood: Tapping into Jesus as the True Source of Renewal and how it intersects with technology. We talk about the potential spiritual dangers of technology, the importance of a real relationship with Jesus, and John shares how his career change has led him into deeper intimacy with Christ.

Jason Young, director of guest relations at Buckhead Church and North Point Community Church, talks with me about his new book which he co-authored with Jonathan Malm entitled "The Come Back Effect: How Hospitality can Compel Your Church's Guests to Return."

This week, Dr. Michael Haykin (professor of church history and Biblical spirituality at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) and I chat about the life and leadership legacy of Andrew Fuller. If you are unfamiliar Andrew Fuller, prepare to learn a lot and to be challenged by his short, powerful life.

I sit down with the founder of Memes for Jesus, Michael Schaffer and we talk about how to build your platform, creating content regularly (and without burnout) and dealing with haters. I awkwardly call Michael "The Da Vinci of Memes." I don't think it will catch on but I left it in so you can laugh at me, which Michael recommends for us to do as leaders.

In this month's bonus episode, I sit down with Jonathan Malm (founder of Church Stage Design Ideas and socialsunday.tv; author of The Hidden Option and co-author of The Come Back Effect) to talk about how we can find hidden options when it seems like there are only two options available. Jonathan helps us get out of our binary way of thinking and teaches us how to think biblically about our limitations.

I sit down with Dr. Ryan Lokkesmoe (Lead Pastor of Real Hope Community Church in the Houston area, a church he helped plant in 2016). We talk about his new book published by Moody Publication called Paul and His Team: What the Early Church Can Teach Us About Leadership and Influence.

Will Basham (lead pastor at New Heights Church) talks with me about how the Gospel has influenced his leadership at his growing, multi-site church in West Virginia.

Author and scholar Veronica Mary Rolf, sits down with me and discusses what we can learn from the life and revelations of Julian of Norwich. We talk about whether we can trust the mystics, what Julian's revelations were all about, the love of God, and how Julian can inspire both me and women in Christian leadership today.

In part two of my conversation with Dr. John Frame (professor emeritus of theology at Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando) we talk about the need to rethink how we do seminary education. If you are a member of the local church, you have a role to play in training future leaders. You don't want to miss this important episode.
