The Narrative Of An Anti-Hero

Wounded And On The Run: Interview with Leonie Schlosser

Today I'm chatting with my good friend, Leonie Schlosser about overcoming church hurts and wounding. Leonie shares some of her struggles about feeling seen and included and how the rejection from other believers effected her faith. However, through the power of grace and forgiveness she was able to stop running and let Jesus use these experiences to see other Christians who are struggling in this area. This healthy conversation around a subject that isn't always spoken about in church circles sheds light where there has been only darkness. If you find yourself running away from church or have felt rejected and misunderstood, then today's podcast is for you.

'How To Find God In Your Mess' With Generosity Guy, Kieran Johnson

How do you find God in your mess? Today, in my Wounded And On The Run Conversations, we are unpacking how you can heal from the deep wounding which comes from rejection with Generosity Guy, Kieran Johnson.  Kieran is the State Manager in Western Australia and South Australia for Opportunity International Australia, an organisation that is ending poverty one family and one community at a time. Kieran's motivation comes by helping people discover how to live a generous life. However, Kieran has had his share of personal heartache, and his story is one of courage and generosity even in the face of adversity.  In this episode, Kieran shares: - his story of the breakdown of his first marriage - how he found God even in the mess - how he pushed through the moments of wanting to run from church - how the generosity of friends helped him heal - how God can rewrite your story  Whatever your story, God wants to meet you in your mess and help you move forward. He is so generous and faithful and longs to heal your wounds by  turning them into valuable scars.  You can connect with Kieran on Instagram at generosity.guy and on FaceBook, Kieran Johnson - The Generosity Guy.

The Narrative Of An Anti-Hero

So, you've been going along quite nicely in your leadership walk and then all of a sudden, BOOM! God asks you to do something. However, you're not keen and it's making you want to run in the other direction! As leaders, we want change, we want to see change, and yes, we want to be the change. And yet, God will send a storm and a whale to change us from the inside out first so that the chaos inside of us develops into peace.

Be Prepared To Take A Stand

Excited about this week's Leaders Talk episode as I'm chatting with my dear friend, Ivana McNeil. Wife, mother, and campus pastor, Ivana shares her hard-won wisdom on what it means to become a leader who is prepared to take a stand. A leader, like Queen Esther, who choose to lay down her own needs to help others when that big faith moment came.
