YOKED Podcast

White Stone Coaching | Peter Awad

What would change if you stopped carrying your business alone? The YOKED Podcast is for Christian business leaders who want to lead from peace. The name comes from a picture Jesus used: two oxen joined by a yoke, with the stronger one setting the pace and carrying most of the weight. Host Peter Awad sits down with business owners, founders, and leaders to talk honestly about the real work of leadership, the conversations that stretch us, and what it looks like to walk with God in the middle of all of it. Every conversation comes back to one question: what does it look like to be yoked with God in your work this week? Lead from peace. Get YOKED.

    What It Means to be YOKED (with Jeremy Hebets)

    "Can you imagine you die and... he says, 'Hey dude, look behind you.' And you turn around and there's a hole. 'Look at all the stuff I gave you.'" On the first episode of the YOKED Podcast, Peter Awad and co-host Jeremy Hebets unpack the picture behind the show's name: a senior ox and a junior ox sharing one yoke, with the stronger one setting the pace and pulling most of the weight. From there they get practical about the fear hiding under a leader's hurry, the friends close enough to notice when you drift, and the coaching habits that turn good intentions into real change. Jeremy reads the parable of the talents, and together they ask what each of us is doing with what God has entrusted to us. In this episode What a yoke actually does, and why Jesus used it to describe walking with Him Why hurry is usually fear, and how to dig a problem out at the root Battle buddies and the people close enough to notice when you drift How a coach earns the right to challenge Jeremy's coaching journey, from the body to the mind to the soul Truth tell, mind change, form change The "sober why": bringing your fear why and your heart why together A six-week question: who's pulling on me, and who should be?
