Leadership lessons aren’t limited to ministry. In this episode of the Leadership Momentum Podcast, host Chris Brown talks with two athletes who have grown to become influential leaders themselves: World Series champion Darryl Strawberry and former Detroit Lions wide receiver Ryan Broyles. First, Chris speaks with legendary slugger Strawberry about the hard lessons he learned regarding addiction and brokenness during his 17-year MLB career.

This episode of the Leadership Momentum Podcast finds host Chris Brown speaking with three guests who are leading their congregations and their teams toward healthier churches and more robust ministries. First, Chris talks with Brady Boyd, senior pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Brady is the author of five books, including “Addicted to Busy: Recovery for the Rushed Soul.” That book is the inspiration for their conversation on how to balance working hard with resting well. They also talk about dealing with criticism in leadership, particularly how to handle chronic critics and how to recognize valuable criticism. Next, Chris talks with father-son co-pastor team Bill and Brent Purvis, who jointly lead Cascade Hills Church in Columbus, Georgia. Together, the two men set up systems to rid the church of its $5.5 million debt load, as well as set their congregation on a path to individual debt freedom. In January 2017, the church celebrated its own corporate debt freedom—an accomplishment that took a decade to achieve but that’s opened the door to ministry that wouldn’t otherwise have been possible. https://www.stewardshipcentral.org/podcast

Robby Gallaty is passionate about discipleship, because he’s the product of it. When Pastor David Platt was still a seminary student, he discipled Robby and led him down a path to radical, Christ-centered life transformation.

On this episode of the Leadership Momentum Podcast, host Chris Brown talks with Robby, now senior pastor of Long Hollow Baptist Church in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and president/founder of Replicate Ministries, about the importance of discipleship in the church—and why our definition of the term matters. Robby shares his own discipleship experience, then explains two big reasons why many churches aren’t seeing it happen—and how he’s working to change that. https://www.stewardshipcentral.org/podcast

On this episode of the Leadership Momentum Podcast, Levi joins host Chris Brown to talk about why he feels it’s so important for church leaders to discuss uncomfortable topics, and why he’s written two best-selling books about it: Through the Eyes of a Lion (about walking through grief alongside Jesus) and Swipe Right (about navigating the modern dating and hookup culture in a way that honors God). Levi also shares practical ways to more easily incorporate these conversations into sermons from the platform and classroom environments. https://www.stewardshipcentral.org/podcast

Firing team members comes with the territory for leaders, even in a church setting. But firing, like anything else, needs to be done with compassion, clarity, empathy and generosity. In this episode of the Leadership Momentum podcast, host Chris Brown explains why firing incompetent or problematic team members is important to the health of any organization. The goal, he says, is not to have to fire anyone by hiring the right people for the job in the first place, and then leading those people well. But, more than likely, every leader will have to terminate a team member at least once. For those times, Chris shares tips for making the process as painless and positive as possible. https://www.stewardshipcentral.org/podcast
