Description:
Cortt Chavis discusses the difference between genuinely walking in the Spirit and simply performing ministry. He explains how pastors and ministers can become focused on meeting expectations while privately struggling, making ministry feel more like a performance than a relationship with God. Chavis emphasizes the importance of grace, rest, vulnerability, and being honest with God about seasons of weakness and weariness. Using Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane as an example, he reminds listeners that God may not always remove the difficult season, but He will provide the strength needed to walk through it.

Description:
In this conversation, Darrin Sargent discusses how God often uses our greatest weaknesses as our greatest strengths. Drawing from his own life and ministry, he encourages leaders to embrace their imperfections instead of hiding them, trusting that God works through brokenness. He also shares insights from his book Parenting with Purpose, emphasizing intentional parenting built on love, learning, living, leading, and leaving a legacy. Darrin concludes by reminding listeners that past mistakes and perceived limitations do not disqualify them—they can become powerful tools for God's purpose and grace.

Leadership looks impressive from the outside. From the inside, it can feel isolating and heavy in ways most people never see. In this episode, Dr. Barry Corey, president of Biola University and co-author of Necessary Burdens, joins Ryan to talk about what he calls the "splendid agony" of leadership, the weight every leader carries that isn't a sign of failure, but part of the calling itself. Barry shares how to identify the burdens before they blindside you, how understanding them can actually make them lighter, and what it looks like to carry them in a way that builds you up instead of wearing you down.

Description:
Cortt Chavis offers an honest and encouraging message to pastors who feel spiritually dry, disconnected, or stuck in their ministry. He reminds them that feeling weary doesn’t mean they are finished or have failed—it may simply mean they need to rest. Chavis encourages pastors to step away, allow trusted people to support and pray for them, and be vulnerable with their church community. He also emphasizes the healing power of family and making time to reconnect with loved ones. His message is simple: rest, receive support, and remember that you don’t have to carry ministry alone.

Description:
Darrin Sargent shares a powerful childhood story about how a compassionate fourth-grade teacher transformed his life. After being bullied because he was born without one hand, his teacher publicly affirmed his worth and uniqueness, leading his classmates to accept him. Darrin reflects on how that moment reshaped his confidence and highlights the lasting impact that teachers, leaders, and mentors can have by choosing acceptance, encouragement, and inclusion over shame or judgment.
