In a world where offense is almost automatic, how do we tell the difference between real harm and a bruised ego? Today, we’re unpacking why so many people feel easily offended and what it’s costing us. From the rise of e
What if the reason you feel stretched thin isn’t your workload—but your isolation? Many of us quietly believe we don’t have time for friendships, but the truth is we make time for what we value. And in the pursuit of pro
In our newest podcast episode, we welcome Mike Kern to the mic for a conversation every leader needs to hear. With decades of experience spanning both the corporate world and church ministry, Mike brings a rare perspecti
In today's episode, we explore what it really looks like to protect the most important part of who you are. From what you consume, to where you focus your eyes, to the thoughts you allow to take root, and the rhythms you
When everything feels fragmented, stability becomes magnetic. In a culture of constant updates, endless scrolling, and reflexive rebellion, it’s no surprise that more than a few young people are gravitating toward the st
The way we relate to ourselves—whether with truth, kindness, and grace or with harsh criticism—is more than a personal issue; it’s a defining factor for our entire life. It powerfully shapes our longevity, our health, an
What does it really take for pastors to thrive in today’s ministry landscape? In this episode of Leading from Alignment, we sit down with Aaron Hlavin, Michigan Assemblies of God Network Superintendent, for an honest and
After a big Sunday, the noise doesn’t always fade when the room empties. Sometimes on the Monday after it gets louder. In this episode, we’ve invited our good friend Lewis Brandon to the mic. We’re talking about how to p

Many pastors were trained primarily to preach and teach. Some were also equipped to provide pastoral care. But in today’s ministry environment, faithful and effective pastoral leadership needs something more. Pastors are
Coming back from vacation should mean easing back into rhythm—but instead, I walked into six or seven different crises. Different churches, different situations, but the same underlying reality: people are angry. So, wha
Earlier this year, Laura and John were given the rare gift of three uninterrupted weeks away. They rented a condo on the ocean, where each morning began with coffee on the balcony and the sun rising over the Atlantic, th

In Paul’s letter to the Romans and his first letter to the Corinthian church, he spends a significant amount of time addressing what he calls disputable matters—those behaviors and choices that aren’t clearly spelled out
What do you do when the season you’re living in looks nothing like the one you prayed for? When your personal life, your ministry life—or both—feel swallowed by disappointment? Life doesn’t always unfold the way we envis
Pastors, ever feel like your phone has a spiritual gift for ringing at the worst possible moment? In this episode, we dive into the holy art of becoming—brace yourself—radically unavailable. Yes, we’re talking about sayi
