David & Demystifying God’s Call

David & Demystifying God’s Call

Most people assume calling is something God drops into your lap like a job title. Pastor. CEO. MMA Fighter. Something specific you either find or miss. It's paralyzing a lot of Christians. But David’s life tells a different story. He wasn’t waiting for a mystical voice to announce “King.” He was becoming the kind of man who could carry responsibility when the moment came. He had courage before he knew the “job.” Calling is often less about a specific title and more about the kind of person God is forming. God is more concerned with the nature of your calling than the expression of it. If you're not enough of a man or woman of God without a title, you'll never be enough with it. For David, his calling included leadership, courage, worship, and deep dependence on God. Kingship was simply one arena where those qualities would eventually be revealed.

The Heart God Uses

Before David ever wore a crown, defeated a giant, or led a nation, he was a shepherd with a heart devoted to God. In this first episode of our new series, "Leadership Lessons from the Life of David," we explore one of the most important questions every Christian leader must answer: What does God actually look for in a leader? While people are often impressed by talent, charisma, and accomplishments, God sees something deeper. Through David's story in 1 Samuel 16, we'll discover why character matters more than credentials, how God develops leaders in obscurity, and why authentic faithfulness is more powerful than imitation. If you've ever felt overlooked, compared yourself to other leaders, or wondered whether God can use you right where you are, this episode is for you. God isn't looking for perfect leaders. He's looking for hearts that belong to Him.

Ministry as a Couple

In this episode of The Leader’s Table, my wife Lacey and I talk about what it really looks like to serve in ministry together as a couple. Over the years, we’ve learned that ministry doesn’t just happen from the church office or the stage, it flows from our home, our marriage, and our shared calling. We talk about the joys and challenges of serving together, protecting your marriage in ministry, raising a family while leading a church, and why we believe the strength of our ministry will never exceed the strength of our home. I’m incredibly grateful for Lacey, her faith, her wisdom, and the way she has served our family, our church, and the Lord through the years. We hope this conversation encourages couples who are serving together, preparing for ministry, or simply trying to follow Jesus faithfully in marriage and leadership.

Leadership in Lockup

Some of the most meaningful gospel work happens where few people are watching—and where faithfulness is costly. In this episode of The Leader’s Table, I sit down with Dr. Mitch Landress to talk about what it looks like to follow God into the hard places of ministry. From training pastors and planting churches inside the prison system, to serving families through foster care, to faithfully laboring in rural communities, Mitch shares wisdom forged through obedience, perseverance, and trust in God’s unseen work. Having walked through prison security and past barbed wire myself, I’ve seen the fruit of this kind of ministry firsthand. This conversation will encourage leaders who feel called to difficult assignments—and remind all of us that God often does His deepest work in hidden places. In this episode, we discuss: Why God often sends leaders into hard and unseen places. Training pastors and planting churches behind prison walls The spiritual cost, and eternal reward, of foster care ministry Serving rural communities with long-term faithfulness Trusting God for fruit when results aren’t immediate or visible Connect with Mitch Landress If this episode encouraged you and you’d like to reach out or offer a word of encouragement, you can contact Mitch directly: 📧 mitchell.landress@gmail.com [mitchell.landress@gmail.com] CONNECT WITH ME Website: ⁠⁠ [https://leader2leadercoaching.com/]leader2leadercoaching.com [http://leader2leadercoaching.com]⁠⁠ [https://leader2leadercoaching.com/] Instagram: ⁠⁠@leader2leadercoaching⁠⁠ Get resources, coaching, and tools to grow as a Christ-centered leader.

We Serve Better, Together

We Serve Better, Together: Why Team-Based Ministry Is Biblical and Beautiful. Ministry is meaningful—but it’s also messy. If you’ve ever wondered why serving alongside people can feel so complicated, you’re not alone. From unmet needs to internal conflict, Christian ministry has always required more than passion, it requires healthy, Spirit-filled teams. In this episode, I turn to Acts 6:1–7 to observe how the early church faced growth, tension, and oversight, and how God used team-based ministry to turn a potential crisis into gospel expansion. You’ll hear: Why team-based ministry isn’t a leadership trend, but a biblical model. How unmet needs often reveal leadership limitations, not failure. Why having the wrong team is more dangerous than having no team. How character and calling matter more than experience. Why Christian unity in service is something the world can’t replicate. If you lead people, serve on a team, or feel stretched by ministry demands, this episode will remind you: We serve better, together. 🎧 Listen now CONNECT WITH ME Website: ⁠⁠ [https://leader2leadercoaching.com/]leader2leadercoaching.com [http://leader2leadercoaching.com]⁠⁠ [https://leader2leadercoaching.com/] Instagram: ⁠⁠@leader2leadercoaching⁠⁠ [https://instagram.com/leader2leadercoaching] Get resources, coaching, and tools to grow as a Christ-centered leader.
