Leading Second Podcast

Our lead pastors are not our cheerleader, they’re our coach. In this episode, we are joined by Layne Schranz, Executive Pastor under the leadership of Pastor Chris Hodges at Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, AL, for a passionate discussion on building a healthy relationship with your pastor and growing as a leader. The relationship between a lead pastor and someone who leads in the second chair takes work, and requires us to remain teachable no matter our talent. It’s pivotal as we lead in the second chair that we posture ourselves to always be coachable, and to learn how to receive correction and feedback well.

Why does stewardship matter to young leaders? In this episode, we are joined by Chris Brown, servant of the local church as both a communicator and coach, for a comprehensive conversation centered around stewardship and promotion. We explore the key differences between God's way and the world's way in regards to entitlement and gratitude and how they pertain to young leaders in ministry. Entitlement gets demoted, gratitude gets promoted, and a realization that God is the owner of everything you're managing is foundational to any success you can have in leadership.

In this special episode, Leading Second founder Brandon Stewart, sheds some wisdom on a few unanswered questions submitted by leaders in the second chair at Team Church Conference 2018.

Season One Ep. 012 // Jonathan Malm on The Come Back Effect First impressions matter greatly to our guests at church on the weekend. And leaders who lead from the second chair, we play a big part of that experience. Maybe bigger than we realize. In this episode, Christian creative and author, Jonathan Malm of San Antonio, TX, joins us for a discussion on “The Come Back Effect” — how to create a church atmosphere that will make people want to come back and why it’s important. As church volunteers and leaders, it’s easy to get stuck focusing on our function (ie. opening a door, waving, passing out a flyer), but what is far more important than our job and function is exuding our church’s culture. Culture and a feeling of belongingness is why people “come back.” Welcome to Season One of the Leading Second Podcast. This podcast releases every Thursday morning.

Season One Ep. 011 // Brandon & Lindsay Stewart on Ditching Balance, Embracing Rhythm Life can be blessed and full, but often times that also means that it can be: busy. How do we achieve balance in ministry and still get it right as a family, husband/wife, son/daughter, mentor, friend, etc? In this episode, Pastors and Founders of Leading Second, Brandon & Lindsay Stewart, jump into a timely and very relevant discussion on what it means to “ditch balance and embrace rhythm.” What if we said that balance in a full life is a myth? That it doesn’t exist? While balance is false, what is true and attainable is rhythm. Welcome to Season One of the Leading Second Podcast. This podcast releases every Thursday morning.
