    Description:
    In this conversation, Stan Gleason emphasizes that effective leadership comes from empowering others rather than controlling everything yourself. He explains that Jesus modeled this by believing in people, releasing authority, and encouraging disciples to do even greater works. Gleason outlines practical steps for building a disciple-making culture: clearly casting vision, modeling the behavior personally, setting expectations, training consistently, and celebrating people’s stories and growth.

  • Short Clip: How Christian Leaders Should Balance Spiritual and Practical Health | Dr. Wayne Chappelle
    Jun 15 2026

    Link to the full podcast:
    https://youtu.be/5L4nauDd5Pg?si=Wq5Q7rCtOWaPQfHp

    https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment

    Description:
    Dr. Wayne Chappelle explains that pastors often struggle to open up because they live under constant scrutiny and judgment from their congregations. Unlike other leaders, their personal and professional lives are inseparable, so any perceived weakness can feel like a threat to their credibility and calling. This pressure drives many to compartmentalize their pain, maintaining a strong outward image while privately battling emotional and spiritual challenges, making vulnerability feel risky instead of restorative.

    After 21 years at The Pentecostals of Alexandria, Ryan Franklin sits down for a deeply personal episode to share a major life and leadership transition. Ryan reflects on the people, lessons, struggles, growth, and calling that shaped his journey at POA while also sharing why he recently accepted a new role with the United Pentecostal Church International PRG division as VP of Strategic Leadership.


    This episode is about more than a move or a new title. It is about calling, grief, faith, leadership health, and learning how to embrace what is next and honor what was.

  • Short Clip: Why Most Father-Son Pastoral Transitions Go Wrong | Chantry Dean
    Jun 4 2026

    Link to the full podcast:
    https://youtu.be/idUO4EHhnRQ?si=Nl8UQ1pcz_UE8w9X

    https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment

    Description:
    Chantry Dean highlights that a healthy transition was built on intentional, honest conversations—especially around timing, visibility, and influence. He and his father clarified expectations early, ensuring unity and avoiding confusion about leadership. Most importantly, they prioritized their relationship over their roles, keeping “father and son” first. This foundation created trust, freedom, and mutual respect. Through ongoing communication, they navigated differences in leadership style, with Chantry learning to build on his father’s legacy rather than imitate it, allowing him to lead authentically without dishonor.

  • Short Clip: The #1 Mistake Leaders Make Before Saying 'God Told Me' | Raymond Woodward
    Jun 1 2026

    https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment

    Description:
    Practical guardrails for discerning God’s voice include refusing to make decisions in isolation and inviting trusted, diverse voices into the process before acting. What you sense should be tested—not just announced—by comparing it with Scripture, past teaching, and proven experience. Stay humble and open to correction, knowing you may sometimes miss it. As Raymond Woodward emphasizes, God’s leading will stand up to accountability and won’t require you to shut out voices that challenge you.

  • Short Clip: Why People Respect You More When You Say No | DJ Hill
    May 28 2026

    Link to the full podcast:
    https://youtu.be/ZIgL4nHFt1s?si=1Na2xAdcRIiRBUOG

    https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment

    Description:
    Dj Hill explains that maintaining influence with people during busy or demanding seasons often comes down to visible priorities and clear communication. When leaders consistently demonstrate that they value their relationship with God and their family first, others may feel temporary disappointment but ultimately respect those boundaries. Hill emphasizes explaining the “why” behind decisions and, when possible, offering solutions—such as recommending another minister or suggesting an alternate time. By communicating clearly and protecting healthy rhythms, leaders return to ministry refreshed and able to give their best rather than serving from exhaustion.
