    How To Lead Without Getting Caught Up In The Comparison Game with Michael Shafer, PhD

    How to Lead Without Getting Caught Up in the Comparison GameHave you ever looked at another leader's ministry, business, family, or success and wondered: "Why can't I be where they are?"You're not alone.Comparison is one of the quietest threats to leadership health. It rarely announces itself, but over time it can steal your joy, cloud your clarity, increase your stress, and leave you questioning your calling.In this episode, Zach Imboden sits down with leadership coach and ministry leader Michael Shafer to unpack why comparison is so common among leaders, what it's really revealing beneath the surface, and how healthy leaders break free from its grip.Together, we discuss:- Why comparison is often a symptom of a deeper issue- The hidden cost comparison has on leadership, relationships, and emotional health- How comparison impacts clarity, confidence, and calling- Practical habits that help leaders stay grounded and focused- Why gratitude, rest, and clarity are powerful antidotes to comparison- Encouragement for leaders who feel behind, overlooked, or discouragedIf you've ever felt like everyone else is moving faster, accomplishing more, or succeeding where you're struggling, this conversation will help you refocus on what matters most.Because healthy leadership isn't about keeping up with everyone else. It's about faithfully stewarding what God has entrusted to you.Be a healthy leader. Stay a healthy leader.Michael Shafer, PhD is the founder and executive director of G6 Allies, a ministry that serves ministry leaders from around the world. Dr. Shafer brings over 25 years of pastoral leadership and a passion for equipping leaders with practical, spiritual, and financial resilience. He is also the pastor of G6 Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he and his wife, Whitney have served since 2018. Links: www.g6allies.com www.Stocksforpastors.com

    The Forgotten Caregiver of Mental Crisiswith special guest Amber J. Parker When someone you love is battling trauma, PTSD, or suicidal thinking, the world often rushes to support them—but rarely asks, “How is the caregiver doing?” In this powerful episode, Zach sits down with Amber J. Parker—Physician Assistant, military wife, speaker, and author of The Forgotten Caregiver of Mental Crisis. Drawing from her own journey through her husband’s suicide attempts and PTSD, Amber gives voice to the unseen emotional, spiritual, and physical toll carried by caregivers in mental crisis.

Amber’s new book, The Forgotten Caregiver of Mental Crisis, is a lifeline for anyone carrying the weight of someone else’s pain—and longing for hope. Listen in and be encouraged.
