What if losing everything wasn’t the end—but the beginning of rebuilding what you were created to build?

In this episode of Speak Feed Lead Conversations with Jackie Bailey, Jackie sits down with Henry Tolbert Jr., Founder, Author, and Church Systems Strategist, for an honest conversation about calling, adversity, leadership, and what it really takes to rebuild after life takes an unexpected turn.

Henry shares his journey from pursuing a dream of professional football to answering a very different calling in ministry and leadership. He opens up about the “Jonah moments” that redirected his life, a season when he and his family lost almost everything, and how those experiences ultimately shaped the work he does today helping leaders, churches, entrepreneurs, and organizations rebuild with purpose.

The conversation also explores the principles behind Henry’s book, The Comeback Plan, and his four-part framework for rebuilding: Revival, Revision, Revitalization, and Rebuilding.
