How to Get a Return on Failure With Dr. John Maxwell

In this episode, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with leadership expert and best-selling author, Dr. John Maxwell. We talked about one of life's most universal experiences: failure. John reminded me that failure isn't the problem — it's how we respond to it that matters. Too often, our tendency is to try to erase our mistakes, but when we erase the failure, we erase the lesson with it. We also talked about the power of taking action and then making adjustments along the way. If you've ever felt discouraged by a mistake, a missed opportunity, or a season that didn't go as planned, this conversation will help you see failure differently — and give you the courage to keep moving forward.

It Was Growing All Along With Andreas Nielsen

In this episode, I sat down with my good friend Andreas Nielsen from Hillsong Sweden for a powerful and honest conversation about loss, identity, and belonging. We talked about how the strength we need for the mountain is often forged in the valley, and through a powerful illustration, Andreas shared what it really looks like to grow in God’s kingdom. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong or like life hasn’t gone the way you hoped, this conversation will remind you that God is still at work — we just need to keep watering what He’s doing beneath the surface.

Are You Ready for What You’re Praying for? With Charlotte Gambill

In this episode, I sat down with Charlotte Gambill for an honest and challenging conversation about what it really means to pursue the “more” God has for our lives. We often talk about believing God for more, but Charlotte reminded me that more from God will always require more from us. It requires deeper commitment, stronger character, greater responsibility, and a willingness to say yes — even in the small, unseen moments. We talked about leadership, obedience, and how the yes you say today can shape the direction of your life tomorrow. If you’ve been praying for more, this conversation will challenge you to ask a different question — are you getting ready for what God is preparing for you?

Getting Back in Tune With God

In a world filled with endless distractions and constant noise, it’s easier than ever to drift. And I’ve learned that when our hearts get out of alignment, everything starts to feel harder than it should. But when we pause long enough to tune our hearts to truth, we begin to experience the clarity, energy, and peace that come from living in step with God. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or just a little off, I hope this episode helps you make some small adjustments so you can get back in tune with God.

When Your Soul Feels Out of Sync

In this episode, I’m flying solo to talk about something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately — the pace of our lives and the impact it’s having on our souls.  It’s possible to be productive on the outside, but empty on the inside. I’ve learned that God doesn’t always bless busy — He blesses healthy rhythms. And yet, in today’s culture, we wear “busy” like a badge of honor.  But I believe many of the things we’re searching for are actually found when we learn to be still in God’s presence. In a world that celebrates speed, what if we were intentional about slowing down and creating space in our lives — for the good of our souls? If your life has felt rushed, noisy, crowded, or just a little off, my hope is that this episode will help you reset your rhythm and reconnect with your source of strength.  Resources mentioned in this episode:  Replenish: Leading from a Healthy Soul by Lance Witt [https://www.amazon.com/Replenish-Leading-Healthy-Lance-Witt/dp/0801013542] Learn More About Christ Fellowship [https://www.christfellowship.church/] Check Out More from Pastor Todd [https://www.youtube.com/@JToddMullins] Sign Up for the Made for Mondays Newsletter [https://www.toddmullins.org/]
