Shawn and Chris talk about growing in healthy ways. Growth doesn’t always equal health. Bad things, like weeds, can grow quickly. Rather than focusing just on the growth, we need to look at the soil — the culture. Every church and organization already has a culture. This leads us to questions such as: * Is the culture we have a culture we actually want? * Have we created this culture, or did it just “h...2023-06-2921 min

Why would a leader ever want to be mean? It's all about the vision.
Almost every organization has a vision, but few stick to it over time. Even after short-term success, visions tend to blur, drift, and fade. Why does this happen?
Accomplishing the vision requires intentionality. It requires consistency...2023-02-074h 42

The church turned 19 in March 2022. Recently, Michael gifted everyone on his staff with a Fitbit— as part of a 30-day fitness challenge. They decided to evaluate three areas: Steps per day Weekly weight loss Sleep hours per night This quick accountability— especially the “sleep part”— highlighted what was truly happening with everyone’s health.

True North Leader with Bobby Albert#36: Traps Young Leaders Fall Into with Shawn LovejoyEvery employee knows what it's like to have a leader come in hot with a fresh vision and throw current plans out the window. Unfortunately, this kind of chaos breeds organizational instability. Today on True North Leader, Shawn Lovejoy, tells us that new leaders have a hard time discerning between opportunity and distraction. He knows this from personal experience. He and Bobby pinpoint lies that hold leaders back, like being defensive around feedback, believing the next stage will fix today's problems, and why leaders need to find their "why."

Today, he leads the same church— now a multi-site congregation, spanning 6 physical locations, in the PIttsburgh area.

The Courageous Pastors PodcastTwo wings your ministry needs in order to fly (w/ Scott Wilson)Scott talks about “two wings” all leaders need in order to move their organization forward: Respect and Relationship. In the same way an airplane won’t fly without two wings, you can’t “fly” your church or ministry without these two… ✈️ If you have the respect wing but no relationship wing, you won’t be able to lead people. They might respect you (for who you are, what you know, where you’ve been, etc.), but they won’t follow you because you lack connection. This leads many leaders to develop a “buddy syndrome” with the people they’re called to lead. When...2022-02-2422 min

The Courageous Pastors PodcastYou can’t lead well if you can’t laugh well (w/ Andy Heis)Andy begs pastors to find a band of brothers. Sure, he enjoys “talking church” and even theology (to learn, even with leaders who see things differently), but— even better than those conversations is the talks where you can be yourself. Where you can connect. Where you know you’re not alone. Where you can cry and laugh at the same time. “Most pastors are uptight,” Andy says. “They don’t feel safe. They carry the weight of so much…” Furthermore, “The only people who know pastors ARE pastors… “ In truth, you can’t lead well...2022-02-1029 min
The Courageous Pastors PodcastHealthy churches impact cities; but healthy churches need healthy families (w/ Rodney Gage)If you, as a pastor aren’t healthy— and if your family isn’t healthy, you can’t lead a church well. And if the church isn’t healthy, it can’t impact the culture. So, everything the church does actually begins in the home— of the leaders. (This is why Paul cautions us that elders in the church must have their family in order before they’re qualified to lead— see 1 Timothy 3:1-12, especially verse 4.) “Don’t take your personal, home life for granted while you’re out leading the church,” Rodney encourag...2022-01-2726 min
The Courageous Pastors PodcastExpect it to be difficult (w/ Ken Claytor)Ken reminds us, “Anything that’s worth ANYTHING is on the other side of hard.” You’ll set your expectation in the wrong place if you don’t expect a challenge… But, when we DO expect challenges, we’re prepared. We’ve counted the cost, and we’ve gone “all in” with our eyes wide open (Luke 14:25–33). 2022-01-2023 min
The Courageous Pastors PodcastYou weren’t made to live in balance; you were designed to live in rhythm (Nick Newman)Nick leads Propel Church in North Carolina— a church that’s been around for 6 years. That means that HALF of their life has been DURING COVID. Several years ago, Nick found himself stuck in a drug addiction— one so bad, in fact, that he got expelled from his school. Jesus radically saved him. And, he turned and led a Bible study that same day. Years later, he planted a church in the SAME school where he was kicked-out… 800 salvations (and 376 baptisms) later, things have never looked better. But it wa...2022-01-1327 min

But, we can tell what it is for today… and this week. We often get side-swiped, stale-mated, and stalled-out because we don’t know where we’ll be 5 or 10 years from now. But we do know where we are today. Today is the perfect today to empty hell and fill heaven. Today is the perfect day to love your staff— and lead them closer to their potential.

In fact, Adam is a former staff member of Shawn Lovejoy! In this talk, Adam discusses what it means to be the "second" in command, learn from a leader, and then move forward to leadership... 2021-12-3027 min
The Courageous Pastors PodcastPastors need coaches AND counselors (w/ Jordan Ducote)Jordan Ducote has been a pastor of a megachurch for four years. He’s 37, but looks like he’s… well… about 20. He’s uniquely a successor… of his father. There are blessings and burdens— alike— of following a legacy leader. A few things Jordan mentions— #1 = You don’t want to be the smartest guy in the room. #2 = You still must the confident in who you are. #3 = The mix of grace and truth. #4 = Have a coach AND a counselor. #5 = Be transparent and vulnerable to a fault… wit...2021-12-2328 min
The Courageous Pastors PodcastNot just the form of ministry, but the fire in it (w/ Jesse Bradley)Jesse Bradley is a former soccer player turned pastor… During his college days at Dartmouth, he took a introductory to world religions class, reading all the originally religious texts as part of the course requirements. “The professor tried to undermine the Bible,” he recalls, “but Scripture is powerful.” Jesse didn’t enroll in the class to seek Christianity, but the Christ sought him through that class. A believer in the course offered him a steady stream of solid answer for each of this questions. Throughout the year, he continued reading. And asking. And g...2021-12-1626 min
The Courageous Pastors PodcastGod believes in you (w/ Sam Chand)Leadership legend Sam Chand still remembers when Shawn told him, “When I hand off this church I want to do what you’re doing.” In fact, Sam remembers the restaurant where the exchange happened… And that’s one of the things that makes leaders like Sam Chand great— they see big vision but they drill it down by paying attention to the one person sitting in front of them. In this episode Sam talks about pastors. Right now, shepherds are tired, he says. “They’re frazzled. Fatigued.” Furthermore, this has nothing to do with their l...2021-12-0927 min

(w/ Chris Brown)Chris Brown just did something somewhat unthinkable— he started a new church on the tail end of the pandemic, right as pastors and other leaders ask the question, “When is everyone coming back?” He leads The Well, in Columbia, Tennessee which— as of the recording of this episode— was in it’s 5th week. Chris was involved in vocational ministry for several years in various capacities (never as a lead pastor), then went to work for Ramsey Solutions for four years. Something continued stirring in him, though, to make the transition back to full time church...2021-12-0223 min

As Shawn points out in this episode of The Courageous Pastors Podcast, Bil— * Used direct mail and actually marketed the church (against the wit of some naysayers) * Hosted spontaneous baptisms Because of this, amidst his innovative approach, he’s not a stranger to criticism. How do you deal with critics? Bil says, “The devil can’t steal your gifts, so he wants to take your confidence.” Think about that one. And how hesita...2021-11-2523 min
The Courageous Pastors PodcastGrieve, Get Perspective, Go Forward (w/ Chris Johnson)Pastor Chris Johnson leads Divine Unity Community Church— a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-generational church in Harrisonburg, Virginia. As our nation experienced many of the racial and political upheavals, the people he leads leaned in hard to see what it means to unify as Ephesians 2 outlines rather than dividing on important— but lesser-important than the Kingdom— issues. During the conversation, Shawn asks Chris his opinion: “What’s the biggest issue you see pastors facing now?” His answer: “Grief.” Chris says that many pastors are grieving the transitions they’ve seen in ministry, the new weight they carry...2021-11-1816 min
The Courageous Pastors PodcastGrow the Right Things (w/ Mike Burnette)Mike Burnette replanted LifePoint Church when it was 5 years old, had 52 members, and was $2.5MM in debt. The church has grown steadily since then. But growth isn’t always what it’s cracked-up to be— and it’s not something we should pursue for the simple sake of growth. In this talk, Shawn and Mike discuss the importance of the Kingdom of God— and staying focused on the Kingdom rather than on ourselves, and what we can produce. Mike talks candidly about being THE fastest growing church in America— according to Outreach Magaz...2021-11-1124 min
