  Lee Domingue - Why Your Family Needs a Board Meeting

  Sep 28, 202658 min

  You'll spend hours mapping strategy for your team, but when was the last time you brought that same intentionality into your home? In this episode, Pastor Lee Domingue joins us to unpack the family board meeting practice that transformed how he leads his own household, complete with shared values, hard questions, and radical honesty around the table. You'll learn how vulnerability builds trust faster than achievement ever could, why "calling" and "purpose" aren't the same thing, and how pastors and business leaders can build a covenant relationship that multiplies kingdom impact. Whether you're leading a church, a company, or both, this conversation will challenge you to steward what's in your hand so you can walk fully into what's on your heart.

  Mark Pettus - The Real Weight of Church Leadership Transitions

  Sep 15, 202647 min

  Stepping into a role once held by someone larger than life comes with a weight most people never see: the pressure to prove you belong, the fear of tearing down what took decades to build. Mark Pettus, who succeeded Chris Hodges as lead pastor of Church of the Highlands, walks through what it actually took to pull off one of the smoothest leadership transitions in recent church history. You'll hear why bringing in a neutral third party was non-negotiable, how to separate the values that can never change from the preferences that can, and why "carrying" the weight of leadership is different (and more dangerous) than simply feeling it. Mark also unpacks the collaborative model reshaping how Highlands' teams work across departments. Every leader can benefit from the wisdom in this episode of navigating transitions well.

  How to Build a Church Brand People Actually Remember

  Sep 1, 202655 min

  You've built a logo, picked your colors, and printed the merch, so why does your church's brand still feel disconnected from what people actually experience on a Sunday? That gap between how you look online and how you feel in person is more common than you think, and it's quietly costing you trust. In this episode, we break down what a brand actually is (hint: it's so much more than a logo), walk through the four core elements every strong brand needs, and share a simple framework for identifying the primary person God has called your church to reach. You'll leave with practical tools to bring clarity to your branding decisions, from your color palette to your Sunday morning messaging, so your whole team can make decisions that are unified and trustworthy. Ready to close the gap between your brand and your experience?

  Lyle Phillips - Leadership Lessons from the Mission Field

  Aug 18, 202649 min

  Have you noticed the distance growing between you and the people you lead? It happens quietly, one busy season at a time until you're preaching from your head instead of your heart. In this episode, Sidecar Leader sits down with Pastor Lyle Phillips of Legacy Church in East Nashville for an honest conversation about staying close to your people when ministry starts to feel like a platform. Lyle shares why "distance creates distortion," how Legacy Church protects its worship culture from a "gig mentality," and the practical rhythm he and his wife use to co-lead while keeping their marriage strong. You'll walk away with real tools for building a culture rooted in presence, not performance. If this conversation stirred something in you, subscribe for more episodes like it, and visit sidecarleader.com to learn how we can help you lead with more clarity and health in your organization.

  Five Things You Want Said About You

  Aug 4, 202644 min

  Ever feel like you're repeating the same values to your team over and over, wondering if any of it is actually sticking? You're not alone. Every leader eventually learns that vision leaks and culture shifts if you're not intentional about reinforcing it. In this episode, we break down the five-word framework we've used to build a lasting culture on our own team: Well, Done, Good, Faithful, Servant. You'll learn why church-wide values aren't enough on their own, how team pursuits turn vision into daily behavior, and what it actually looks like to hold your team to a shared standard of excellence, execution, character, faithfulness, and service. You'll walk away with a practical, repeatable way to roll this out with your own team. If this gave you language for the culture you're trying to build, subscribe for more conversations on leading with clarity.
