Practical, Wise, and Fun!

The Lead Stories Podcast is a weekly staple for me. I resonate deeply with the truth, wisdom, and grace Jo Saxton and Pastor Steph share as they talk about about leadership and life. They are refreshingly authentic as they discuss being a leader and having influence in today’s culture. As woman who is a ministry leader, I appreciate Jo and Steph’s insights and the practical resources they offer, too. I’ve passed this podcast along to my team (both men and women) to benefit from, as well. I highly recommend subscribing and sharing with your colleagues and friends.

Appreciate

I love all of the concepts on this podcast and appreciate them carrying us through the pandemic.
The five folds gifts survey link isn’t working though. I hope it can be fixed.

Love this podcast

I really love Pastor Steph and Jo Saxon and then this season Pastor Edwin joined. He is such a great fit. This years messages have been so helpful as a lay ministry leader at church. Keep up the good work.
