Leading with His Presence

Leading with His Presence

What happens when a leader genuinely walks with God? In this episode, we move from David's formation to his fellowship with God. Before David became king, before he led armies, and before he influenced a nation, Scripture says something remarkable: "The Lord was with him." Through the life of David, the example of Moses, the teachings of Jesus, and the insights of Henry Blackaby, we'll discover that leadership in God's kingdom is not ultimately about self-improvement—it's about Spirit dependence and joining God where He is already at work. Because what made David different wasn't what he had. It was Who was with him.

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.
