    AI Is Growing, But This Human Skill Is About to Become More Valuable | Brad Lomenick

    Hero ProfileBrad Lomenick Founder, BLINC | Leadership Advisor, Author, Speaker, Podcaster & Strategic Convener Industry: Leadership Development & Strategic ConveningPower Words: Curious. Relational. Strategic. Discerning. Humble. Hungry. Hustling!Brad Lomenick loves Jesus, leadership, and leaders. Those three passions have shaped a career spent developing, connecting, and convening influential people. Today, his Kingdom Superpower looks remarkably simple: he sees people, draws out their gold, and creates spaces where meaningful relationships can foster impact. Three Main Takeaways1. Be interested, not interesting. Brad believes influence grows from curiosity. Walk into the room asking questions, listening closely, and paying attention rather than trying to prove you belong. As he puts it: “You become interesting by being interested.” 2. Become a courage injector and gold extractor. Encouragement injects courage into another person, while relational intelligence helps us recognize what God has placed inside them. Brad describes it beautifully: “You’re injecting somebody with courage … but you’re also calling out the things in them that are true.” 3. Relational intelligence matters more as technology grows. Brad sees a looming paradox: AI can reduce our need to interact while people are increasingly hungry for friendship and community. His response is memorable: “In an age of AI, we need more RI [Relational Intelligence].” Calling & Ideal ClientBrad serves high-capacity leaders, pastors, marketplace leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and movement makers. He sees leadership as influence, and connection as stewardship. His distinction between networking and connecting is crucial. Networking can reduce people to transactions. Connecting requires understanding them first. Brad’s approach honors the person before considering what they can accomplish. His H3 framework summarizes the kind of leaders he hopes to cultivate: “Be humble, stay hungry, always hustle.” Humility keeps leadership grounded, hunger keeps leaders teachable, and hustle turns calling into action. Big DreamBrad’s vision for the next decade is laser-focused: identify, know, convene, connect, and release roughly 1,000 of America’s most strategic and influential leaders. “I didn’t go from a big vision to a small vision,” Brad explains. “I went from a big vision to a different vision … that I would argue is even bigger.” CollaborateConnect with Brad, explore his leadership work, or invite him to consult or speak: Website: https://www.bradlomenick.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradlomenickH3 Leadership Podcast: https://www.h3leadership.com/ H3 Leadership: Be Humble.

    Are You Living With Fervor? Mike Farag’s Fervor Journey Started With Losing Everything

    Hero ProfileMike Farag | Founder, CEO & Chief Strategy Officer, Company: Fervor MarketingIndustry: Christian Nonprofit Marketing & GrowthPower Words: Strategic • Passionate • Persistent • Intentional • CatalyticMike Farag’s Kingdom Superpower is growth, but not the flashy, hockey-stick variety. He wants organizations, marriages, leaders, and disciples to experience healthy, sustainable growth that bears fruit for generations. His calling has become remarkably clear: “Help those that help others.” Three Main Takeaways1. Redefine growth. Mike once measured progress through money, titles, and corporate advancement. Today, growth means deeper faith, stronger relationships, healthier organizations, and greater Kingdom fruit. 2. Obedience can precede clarity. When God prompted Mike to leave his corporate career, He didn’t hand him the next chapter. Mike had to move before he could see where the road led. 3. Pay attention to what matters to people you love. Mike’s painful lesson from his first marriage became a call to intentionality: “Your marriage is not accidentally good,” much less, great. Great relationships require the same steady investment as healthy organizations. Calling & Ideal ClientFervor serves Christian nonprofits that need both strategy and execution. Mike describes his team as a “supply line for the front line.” Writers, designers, strategists, and developers may never meet the people their work reaches, yet their gifts can still advance the Kingdom. That makes marketing ministry in Mike’s eyes: “I raise awareness or I raise money… What I really think I raise up are disciples discipling others.” His ideal client is a faith-led organization willing to pursue meaningful growth, wrestle with hard problems, and build for long-term impact.

    Jeffrey Hawthorne | The Environment Builder | Creating Spaces Where People Thrive

    Hero ProfileGuest: Jeffrey Hawthorne Company: Workplace Resource Title: Market Vice President (Colorado Springs) Industry: Commercial Interiors Power Words: Servant-hearted • Intentional • Trustworthy • Galvanizer • Empowering Three Main TakeawaysService is more than good customer care. It is a Kingdom posture that places another person’s needs ahead of personal gain, even in the competitive world of sales.Great leadership creates environments where people discover their value, contribute their gifts, and become the best version of themselves.Curiosity unlocks growth. By replacing certainty with humble questions, leaders create room for stronger relationships, wiser decisions, and deeper Kingdom influence.JourneyJeffrey’s story begins in a home where service was modeled daily. Raised as the oldest of nine children, he watched his parents consistently choose generosity, integrity, and hospitality over comfort or financial security. His father, who adopted him as his own son, demonstrated unwavering character by honoring commitments even when it cost him personally. Those early lessons shaped Jeffrey’s understanding that leadership is ultimately about serving others. Over the years, God wove together seemingly unrelated experiences, from construction sites to worship ministry, nonprofit facilities leadership, and now commercial workplace strategy. Looking back, Jeffrey sees a consistent thread: creating environments where people flourish. Whether leading worship, managing facilities, or helping organizations design workplaces, his calling has remained remarkably consistent. He believes environments are not simply physical spaces. They become catalysts that unlock collaboration, creativity, trust, and potential. Calling & Ideal ClientJeffrey serves organizations that want more than beautiful offices. He partners with leaders who desire workplaces where employees collaborate well, feel valued, and accomplish meaningful work together. His deeper calling extends beyond furniture and floorplans. He equips teams, develops leaders, and builds cultures where every role contributes to a greater mission. He also carries a growing passion for mentoring men toward authentic vulnerability, stronger relationships, and Christ-centered leadership. Big DreamJeffrey dreams of building one of the most service-oriented sales organizations in his industry, where sales and operations function as one unified team focused on customer success rather than individual achievement. Personally, he hopes to invest in men who lead with authenticity while raising four children who become faithful Kingdom leaders.

    Chris Gifford | The Bearded Hope Hammer

    Quotes“Our breakthrough is in our blind spot.” “I want to know you. Do you want to know who you are?” “There’s a rawness and there’s a beauty in the rawness.” “Jesus is my hope ... I felt like a fake, a fraud.” “Most men pre-reject themselves before they even get engaged.” Hero ProfileGuest Name: Chris Gifford Company: Thread Pull Title: Founder, Video Strategist & Men’s Coach Industry: Video Production / Business & Personal Coaching Power Words: Stubborn. Unflinching. Tender. Challenging. Relentless. Hopeful. Three Main Takeaways1. Your breakthrough is hiding in your blind spot. Chris built his entire coaching practice around one conviction: people can’t see the thing that’s holding them back, which is exactly why they need someone willing to ask about it. The question nobody wants to ask is usually the one that matters most. 2. Real help disables; it does not enable. Chris draws a hard line between comfort and contribution. He doesn’t rescue people from the cost of their own growth — he asks them to bring something to the table, because a man who hasn’t paid a price isn’t ready to receive what’s being offered. 3. Clarity in communication starts with clarity of identity. Long before Chris picks up a camera, he’s helping a business or a person answer a much older question: who are you, really? Everything else; the video, the brand, the pitch; is downstream of that. Calling & Ideal ClientChris works primarily with men: entrepreneurs, husbands, and fathers who look like they have it together but are quietly carrying shame, isolation, and depression. He can spot them by the way they avoid eye contact. What he offers isn’t a pep talk; it’s a refusal to look away. Big DreamChris envisions a hundred-plus-acre retreat property with tiny homes, built for one-on-one healing experiences, marriage intensives, and family encounters with God. Alongside that, he wants to produce original content. He wants feature films, TV shows, and training resources that speaks directly to men, marriages, and families instead of treating faith as a Sunday-only topic. Underneath both is the same mission: helping men move from fragmentation to wholeness, and then equipping them to do the same for someone else.

    Nathan LaGrange | The Restorer of Weary Leaders

    A former self-described “bad boy” now helps pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders rediscover God’s kindness, rest deeply, and dream again. HERO PROFILE Nathan LaGrange Executive Director, Oasis Rest International Core Drive: Harmony Power Words: Restorative, Compassionate, Courageous, Reflective, Joyful THREE MAIN TAKEAWAYS God’s kindness can transform even the most broken stories. Rest is a Kingdom rhythm, not a luxury. Leaders heal best in safe community. JOURNEY Nathan LaGrange openly describes his early years as chaotic, self-centered, and spiritually lost. Then God intervened through a woman who would eventually become his wife of 30 years. After encountering Jesus at a small Christian concert during college, Nathan’s life changed dramatically. He immersed himself in Scripture, ministry, worship leadership, and eventually pastoral work. Alongside his wife Trisha, Nathan helped plant churches, mentor young adults, and write worship music. Yet some of the deepest transformation came through hardship. During a season filled with church planting pressures, international adoption, and the sudden loss of Trisha’s parents, Nathan and his family experienced profound grief and exhaustion. In that valley, a new question emerged: Where do leaders go when they are broken? That question became the seed for Oasis Rest International. Today, Nathan helps pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders find safe spaces to slow down, reconnect with God, and dream again. CALLING & IDEAL CLIENT Nathan serves weary pastors, missionaries, nonprofit leaders, and Christian executives carrying burdens they often feel unable to share publicly. Through Oasis Rest International, leaders experience hospitality, confidentiality, spiritual encouragement, and personalized retreats designed to help them reconnect with God and rediscover healthy rhythms of life and leadership. Nathan describes rest as a “sacred contradiction” in a culture obsessed with speed and performance. BIG DREAM Nathan dreams of helping create a global movement of healthy, rested Christian leaders who walk with God at His pace rather than living trapped in exhaustion and anxiety.

    H.B. Pasley | The Branding Guide | Helping Pioneers Overcome Fear

    HERO PROFILE H.B. Pasley Brand & Business Growth Advisor https://www.pasleycommercialinteriors.com Industry: Commercial Interior Design, Branding, Business Coaching Core Drive: Progress Power Words: Insightful, Relational, Courageous, Creative, Encouraging THREE MAIN TAKEAWAYS Fear loses power when it is named honestly and processed in trusted community.Branding is far more than logos and colors. It is anything that helps people trust you faster.God sometimes reshapes pioneers by teaching them the joy of supporting and championing others instead of always leading the charge.JOURNEY H.B. Pasley’s story is one of transformation through experience, failure, faith, and persistence. Growing up in Alabama, he discovered early that fear could quietly control a person’s life. As a child, he failed beginner swimming lessons multiple times because he was terrified of jumping off the diving board. Years later, that same experience became a gift. As a swimming instructor, he could recognize fear in other children before panic fully surfaced, helping them overcome obstacles because he had walked through them himself. That pattern followed him into adulthood. H.B. spent decades pioneering creative ministry work, mentoring leaders, musicians, and visionaries. Then, at age 52, a major season of his life unexpectedly closed. Without a clear plan for what came next, he entered years of uncertainty that forced him to rediscover identity outside of performance, achievement, and leadership titles. What emerged was a deeper understanding of intimacy with God and a new passion for helping others thrive. Today, through Pasley Commercial Interiors, H.B. combines branding strategy, coaching, storytelling, and commercial design into a unique Kingdom-centered approach that helps business owners communicate trust, clarity, and purpose. His greatest joy now comes from helping pioneers overcome fear and watching others succeed. CALLING & IDEAL CLIENT H.B. serves pioneers, business owners, and professional service leaders who know they are called to something greater but feel stuck at a plateau. He especially loves working with people who deliver wisdom, guidance, and transformation rather than simply selling products. His approach to branding is deeply relational. He defines branding as “anything that helps your ideal client trust you faster.” That includes messaging, storytelling, customer experience, team culture, interior environments, and even how people talk about your business after they leave. He is especially passionate about helping businesses with physical spaces align their environments with their mission and helping professional service leaders communicate their value with authenticity and confidence. BIG DREAM To become a master at helping businesses build trust-centered brands that truly reflect who they are.To make high-level branding support more accessible through collaborative partnership models instead of overwhelming one-time costs.To continue investing in and championing the success of his wife, sons, and other Kingdom pioneers. COLLABORATE Website: https://www.pasleycommercialinteriors.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hbpasley/ If you are a visionary leader, professional service provider, hospitality entrepreneur, or business owner needing clarity around branding, storytelling, customer trust, or interior experience, H.B. is building solutions designed to help pioneers move forward with confidence.

    Gabe Rodriguez | The Legacy Builder | Passing Faith to the Next Generation

    HERO PROFILE Gabe Rodriguez Sales & Operations Leader, Morton Salt Author, The Christmas Story: The Father and The Easter Story: The Son Industry: Consumer Goods / Faith-Based Author POWER WORDS Intentional, Service-minded, Reflective, Courageous, Faith-building THREE MAIN TAKEAWAYS 1. FAITH MUST BE BUILT AT HOME BEFORE IT SPREADS OUTWARD Gabe realized he was outsourcing his children’s faith formation instead of leading it. That conviction became the catalyst for writing resources he wished he had earlier as a father. 2. STORY UNLOCKS UNDERSTANDING WHERE INFORMATION ALONE CANNOT After a failed attempt to teach faith through structured lessons, Gabe discovered that storytelling makes Scripture approachable, memorable, and engaging for young people. 3. TRANSFORMATION BEGINS WITH RELATIONSHIP, NOT PERFORMANCE Moving from checklist Christianity to authentic intimacy with God changed Gabe’s trajectory. His message reminds believers that faith grows through relationship, not religious activity alone. JOURNEY Gabe Rodriguez describes much of his early faith experience as lukewarm, shaped more by cultural exposure than intentional discipleship. While church was present in his upbringing, spiritual rhythms inside the home were largely absent. As his own children reached middle and high school, he began to see his younger self reflected in their experience. During a season of personal growth in his early fifties, Gabe became more involved in men’s groups, Bible studies, and intentional community. That investment deepened his understanding of Scripture and sparked a growing conviction. Success markers like career advancement and material goals began to lose their appeal as he recognized a greater calling toward Kingdom impact. His first attempt to bring faith structure into his family life felt forced and unsuccessful. Yet that moment became the seed of inspiration. Instead of giving up, Gabe sensed a persistent spiritual nudge that eventually led him to begin writing what would become his Trinity Story series. Today, Gabe sees his writing as an act of obedience and legacy building. His focus remains simple and clear: pass faith to the next generation in a way they can understand, remember, and carry forward. CALLING & IDEAL CLIENT Gabe serves Christian families, especially fathers who want to become more intentional spiritual leaders at home but feel unsure where to start. His books help parents introduce biblical truth through story rather than intimidation. His heart is especially for families with teenagers and preteens who need engaging ways to understand the larger narrative of Scripture. BIG DREAM Gabe’s dream is to see his Trinity Story series widely accessible to families, small groups, and youth communities. His greatest desire is simple: that parents and children would develop consistent rhythms of remembering God’s story together. He also hopes to make these resources widely available, even exploring ways to distribute them freely so more families can benefit.
