    Pruned : When God Cuts Back to Multiply

    This month, Dean talks candidly about how God prunes leaders and churches, how to recognize a pruning season, the mistakes pastors often make when interpreting it, and how pruning prepares the way for greater fruitfulness.  If you’ve ever felt like God was cutting things back in your life or ministry, this episode will help you understand why the Master Gardener does His best work with pruning shears in hand.

    Departures : Lessons From Jesus When People Leave

    Few things weigh heavier than when people leave. It can feel personal. It can even feel like abandonment. In this episode we look at how Christ handled thinning crowds, departing disciples, and shifting loyalty — without losing His calling or His peace.

    Behind the Scenes of a Transition

    Leadership transitions are one of the most vulnerable moments in ministry and often one of the least talked about honestly. On January 18th I will shift to Founding Pastor and Josh Hawk (unrelated) will become the new Lead Pastor here at Rock Family Church.  In this month’s podcast, Josh and I pull back the curtain on an active, real-time leadership handoff.  We talk candidly about trust, succession, communication, and how to lead change without division, insecurity, or loss of momentum.   If you’re a pastor navigating transition now . . . or you know one is coming . . . this conversation will give you clarity, language, and practical insight you can apply immediately. Thanks for listening! Dean Hawk

    Small Details Make The Big Difference

    This month’s podcast, is a leadership conversation every pastor needs. I share why God promotes through precision, not position, and how biblical leaders like Noah, Bezalel, Daniel, and Jesus Himself modeled excellence in the little things that no one else noticed.    These small details are what elevate a ministry, sharpen a staff, and take a church from good to exceptional.    I also give a quick update on our January 18 transition as Pastor Josh steps into the Lead Pastor role here at Rock and I move into the Founding Pastor position, to allow more time to coach and support pastors like you. Ministry can be lonely, and I want you to know I’m in your corner.

    Heart Transplant

    Let’s be honest—some leaders lead from position, not passion. They rely on titles, not trust. But the greatest leaders?  They win people’s hearts before they ever ask for their hands.  In this month’s podcast, I’m talking about what I’ve learned to connect your heart with your staff and your people — not through control, but through compassion.

    Shepherds or Snipers

    Since the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk last month, pastors across America have been turning their spiritual guns on one another . . . condemning and criticizing how others responded to his death. Some have even gone so far as to call pastors cowards, question their calling, and pressure people to leave their churches. But here’s the truth: when pastors preach their personal convictions as though they were Bible absolutes, they cross a line. It doesn’t build the church — it sows division, condemnation, and pride in the Body of Christ. This month on the podcast, Dean addresses the issue head on and brings balanced truth from God’s Word to remind us as shepherds: “My convictions guide me. Bible absolutes ground me. But love must govern me.”
