Every summer I get a pretty good case of mom guilt because my expectations are way too high for all I want my kids and I to do and learn. This summer, I am taking a whole different approach. In this episode, I am sharing why I’m chilling out and five things I’m doing to take the pressure off of summer time fun. Obviously my ideas to enjoy summer probably won’t cut it for you since we’re all in different seasons, but I’m hoping they will spur on some of your own creativity so you can enjoy summer with your people without so much pressure.

I think itās safe to say that if you are in Christ Jesus, you hear from God. Right? I also think itās safe to say that women struggle to hear from God. And when they do, they frequently doubt theyāve heard God. So, whatās the deal? How do we know if itās God? What are women getting tangled up in that makes them feel inadequate to hear from God? And what are some guardrails to hearing from God without going off the deep end? All this and more are what Katie Marstin and I are talking about today on the podcast!

For anyone who has ever led you know that change just goes with the territory. But HOW you do the change and WHY you make a change, well, thatās a different story. On this episode of the Leader Lab podcast, Melissa Dunn and I talk about the (stupid) changes weāve made, where we went wrong, and a thing or two weāve learned along the way. Take a listen; itās gonna be fun!

This weekās podcast was super fun to make! I asked Melissa Dunn to join me for a conversation about being creative. Before you skip this episode thinking, āWell, Iām not a creative soā¦.ā hold on!
Melissa and I talk about how we have BECOME creative - slowly, over time as weāve stepped out in gifting. Then we talk about the struggle to communicate our creativity in a way others can understand and how vulnerable that communication is. Thereās lots more practical stuff, too.

Let's talk about sleepwalking. Because I think when we can wrap our heads around the actual, physical behavior of sleepwalking, it might shed some light on the spiritual behavior - spiritual sleepwalking. In this episode, Melissa and I have a conversation about something that can sound a little woo-woo: being spiritually asleep. So here's the question we wrestle with: What is spiritual sleepwalking and how does it impact us today? Take a listen to an honest conversation and see what you think.
-
Have you ever interacted with someone who was sleepwalking? I have, and it's really interesting. Sleepwalkers do typical activities, yet they aren't awake; they look engaged and present, yet they are ASLEEP. I think many, many women in the Church today are doing the same thing.... just sleepwalking through life and in their relationships with God. But here's the crazy part. They don't know it! So let's talk about 3 characteristics of women who are spiritually sleepwalking.
-
Ohhhhh, todayās podcast is going to get interesting! I found this recent data set comparing what men and women think about women in leadership. Let me just say, the results are surprising. In a nutshell, men are generally okay with women leaders. But hereās the kickerā¦ women have some pretty tough (and inaccurate!) views about what others think of them. So letās talk about what women think about how theyāre perceived, what those perceptions might indicate, and what to do about it.

I don't know about you, but I've always been taught that if I really loved God, I would read the Word of God. Cool, I'm on board with that. But there was another message I received about said Bible time: it should be done alone. So that's what I did for decades; I read the Word of God by myself, in my room, alone. And I regularly wondered why I wasn't getting more out of it. Or if I was doing it right. Today on the podcast, my super good friend Melissa Dunn and I have a conversation about studying the Bible with other people. Yup, you read that right: STUDYING the Bible - going deep in God's Word - with others. Is this possible? How do you do this? Why on earth would we do this? All this and more on today's podcast episode!

We know that faith develops gradually, over time. But what happens when people get āstuckā in their faith and they stop growing? Whatās up with that? Thatās exactly what weāre talking about today! And as leaders, understand where WE are and where those we love and lead are, well, it really matters. Because we donāt want to damage or hinder someoneās faith development. Take a listen to this podcast episode to understand more about faith development, what to watch out for, and how to move deeper into faith.

We've all seen it. The woman we've invested in stalls out in her spiritual growth. Or disappears altogether. Or panics when, after a long season of intense and enjoyable spiritual growth, suddenly comes to an end. Why faith doesnāt seem to stick for some people? In today's episode, we're talking about spiritual growth. This stuff is so important because, as leaders, we see the problems, but if donāt know whatās causing them, we won't be helpful in solving them. So let's talk about a really helpful filter to understand spiritual growth, then let's get practical about what this means for the women we serve, and for what this means for us as leaders.

I know youāve been there. You are leading with men - youāre in meetings, you are a supervisor, you implement the vision of the guy at the top, you collaborate with guys - whatever it looks like, itās pretty inevitable that you do or will lead with men. So, as women who love Jesus, whatās the deal? How do we do this?
-
For the last month Iāve been chewing on some stuff and Iām thrilled to share it with you because there are so many implications for us as women leaders. So hereās our plan. Letās spend a few minutes talking about what we know about Phoebe from the Bible. Even though there are only 2 verses, we can learn or at least infer a lot. Then, I want to look at 3 or 4 really interesting words that Paul uses to describe or refer to her. Whoa! This is where this stuff gets juicy! I donāt know about you, but Iām all jazzed up about this.
-
You know the group you lead or are a part of that doesn't seem to catch traction? Or that relationship that isn't cutting it? Let's talk about 3 SIMPLE ways to open your mouth and invite others into the process. These 3 SIPMLE things are my go-to when it comes to leadership. And over the years as I've taught them to friends and leaders, their stories of group shift are the proof in the pudding. Join the conversation!
-
As a leader, I need to be able to lead myself, not just other people. And we all know leading ourselves requires discipline, planning, follow through, integrity, etc. But catch this. If we struggle to lead ourselves - i.e. we donāt follow through on personal goals, weāre struggling to read Scripture, thereās a gap in how we behave at home and at church - we will struggle with impostor syndrome. You know what I mean by that, donāt you? Impostor syndrome is a mindset that says, āIām a fraud. I canāt really do this. If people knew what I was really likeā¦ I shouldnāt be here.ā Hereās the thing about imposter syndrome. Women who love Jesus really struggle with this. And then the internal dialogue really goes sideways: āI canāt do what God asks.ā This is big stuff, my friends! So yeah, being women who finish what they start really matters. So letās talk about personal momentum because when you know how to leverage it in your personal disciples and your new thing for the year, you donāt have to work so hard.
-
If you want to see change, you do what the rest of us do. Chew on a plan for quite some time, and then pop out a planner or your laptop or set up a meeting. Why? Because we are programmed to think that in order to see change, you have to have a plan. By the way, in general, I agree with this. But today, we are talking about momentum, which in my opinion is the secret weapon for leaders when it comes to change. Momentum defies the norms of change, plans, goals, and projects. Momentum isnāt cheerleading or encouragement. It happens in the middle when what you wanted to happen is actually happening, which makes you want to invest more. Momentum comes from people, not new programs or projects. And when thereās momentum, you will hear stories of people connecting over the mission. Take a listen!
-
Today weāre talking about what you can do when you experience a tension that creates anxiety. For me, when I experience anxiety, my default is to disappear from people. Today on the podcast Iām sharing 5 experiments, a metaphor, and some ideas on how to overcome disappearing/taking steps back. Letās do this!
-
Itās a new year, which means most people have a new goal they are working toward. Bad news: stats say less than 10% of those who start a new thing wonāt finish it. But not me. Iāve learned through lots and lots of failures, and a good handful of successes how to finish personal goals. On todayās episode Iām sharing a few principles on starting something new/changing something and the 5 steps I use to implement a change. Because learning how to cross the finish line on the small things matters.
-
Okay my friend, confession time. Every year I do this weird and annoying thing right after Thanksgiving. I put a lot of pressure on myself to REALLY experience Jesus during Christmas time. The problem is, it never quite works out, leaving me feeling guilty and bummed. BUTā¦. this year, Iām having a BLAST engaging with the nativity story, doing new spiritual reflections, all the while having a great time. So, take a listen to Andyās version of the 12 Days of Christmas - which by the way has nothing to do with the song - that has been a game changer.
-
Hey gang. So itās Christmas time right now which means my family and I are doing all our favorite traditions, and just to warn you - we have a lot of them. And I bet you do too. This episode is filled with practicals to incorporate when your family/team/friends/etc. do your fun and meaningful traditions. So let's talk about what makes traditions work, why they matter, what kills traditions, and how to start them.
