    The Wilderness Isn’t Wasted: How God Uses Hard Seasons to Grow Leaders - Jason Jensen

    What do Christian leaders do in the seasons of life where they find themselves in the wilderness? What did John the Baptist do? What did Jesus do? These are the questions that Jason Jensen, the author of Formed to Lead, faithfully addresses. He focuses on the beginning of Luke 3, when the Word of God came to John in the wilderness. Why is the wilderness important? How does it cultivate growth and maturity? How can we not just survive, but thrive during those moments and learn to lean totally on God? We need to pay attention when we’re experiencing those seasons of life, cultivating that time by implementing spiritual disciplines that will help us slow down and learn important lessons God wants to teach us. Jason calls this “creating a wilderness space” to allow the Word of the Lord to arrive and bless. TAKEAWAYS God taught the Israelites in the desert that they needed to totally rely on Him Listen quietly and daily to the voice of the Holy Spirit Create spiritual disciplines and don’t be afraid to listen to your fellow believers’ experiences and insights Rest is so important; it allows us to give our leadership burdens to God 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/4g9uqgz Formed to Lead book: https://amzn.to/4xT8NHr The Pastor’s Sabbath: https://bit.ly/4hFUTnd 🔗 CONNECT WITH JASON JENSEN Website: http://www.formedtolead.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jason.jensen.507027/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jensenjason/?hl=en X: https://x.com/jjensenivcf 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ Faces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCM 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    Jesus’ Radical Approach to Leadership: It’s Not About Power or Position - Jason Jensen

    Leadership may look a little different for everyone, but for a Christian, our leadership style should be modeled after Jesus Christ. What better way to learn about the leadership approach of Jesus than in the Bible? Jason Jensen is the Vice President for Spiritual Foundations for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. He is also the author of Formed to Lead, an important book examining Jesus’s leadership style, especially in the first chapters of Luke. Jason explores the connection between spiritual discipline and strong leadership qualities. Jason urges leadership toward reframing their assumptions about what leadership should look like: it’s not about getting a position of power; it’s about creating a positive culture and influencing others in all the right ways. TAKEAWAYS If we learn from our failures, we will perform better in the future Tender humility should be balanced with bold faith and we need both attributes to be Godly leaders When Jesus asks us to lead, we should expect character formation to happen next The Holy Spirit will help us to reform our lives as we lead 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/4woLF3b Formed to Lead book: https://amzn.to/4xT8NHr 🔗 CONNECT WITH JASON JENSEN Website: http://www.formedtolead.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jason.jensen.507027/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jensenjason/?hl=en X: https://x.com/jjensenivcf 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    What’s Driving You? The Hidden Passions That Can Sabotage Your Leadership - Dave Wiedis

    Most ministry leaders implode because they fail to pay attention to their internal struggles. Dave Wiedis is the author of The Spiritually Healthy Leader: Finding Freedom from Self-Sabotage and the founder of ServingLeaders Ministries. Whether it’s self-sabotage by acting against our self-interest, hurting others, or damaging our relationship with God, Dave explains that many people are dominated by unidentified ruling passions, like seeking success, affirmation, respect, or avoiding pain or embarrassment. Such pursuits can supplant the Lordship of Christ by becoming functional idols. To lead well and avoid self-sabotage we must repent by honestly and humbly identifying our ruling passions and submitting to the lordship of Jesus Christ in every area of our lives. TAKEAWAYS Whatever drives you has the capacity to control you, and human passions must never take the place of Christ in our lives Submitting to the lordship of Christ requires humility and honesty You must reflect on and heal from your past experiences that gave rise to your ruling passions to become a great leader Those who are unaware of their own ruling passions pose a unique danger as leaders 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE The Spiritually Healthy Leader book: https://amzn.to/4g9kEtw 🔗 CONNECT WITH DAVE WIEDIS Website: https://www.servingleaders.org/ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina Faces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCM 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    Speak Less, Listen More: How Asking Questions Will Transform Relationships - J.R. Briggs

    Asking questions isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of humility, curiosity, and a willingness to learn! J.R. Briggs is the author of The Art of Asking Better Questions: Pursuing Stronger Relationships, Healthier Leadership, and Deeper Faith and the founder of Kairos Partnerships. J.R. shares his perspective that asking questions is both a unique and overlooked skill. We live in a world obsessed with thinking we know the answers to everything, and hardly think about what kind of questions we should be asking to understand more. Asking questions is a step toward building relationships, strengthening connections, and increasing our own knowledge base. The Bible, for example, is full of questions that even Jesus asked. Perhaps we should take our cue from the Word of God and emulate Jesus. TAKEAWAYS Asking questions helps us sift through information and understand it better Asking questions is also an act of humility, and we should serve more than we are served Biblical community is not the absence of conflict; it is doing what Jesus would do in the middle of it Listen more than you speak and ask more than you answer 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Kerusso T-shirts (get 15% off with code TINA): https://rstr.co/kerusso/tina The Art of Asking Better Questions book: https://amzn.to/4ge3Phh 🔗 CONNECT WITH J.R.

    Nomad Urges Us to Lead Like Jesus by Listening, Loving, Knowing People - William Owens

    William Owens is a busy guy. You might catch him reading poetry or riding his bicycle across Taiwan or having dinner with new friends. But in all these journeys, no matter how big or how small, William is ready and willing to share the Gospel message with everyone he meets. William is a free-spirited traveler and the co-publisher of the Why Jesus book series. When it comes to leadership, William says that Jesus is the most profound example there is. Jesus would spend time with the Father, William points out, and then share that vision with His followers. Jesus listened to people and welcomed them into His presence. He wasn’t worried about pushing them into a singular denomination or church. He wanted to know them and them to know Him. As Christian leaders, we can learn from Christ’s example. TAKEAWAYS Jesus always expressed His deepest concerns to those He spoke with William has written more than 5,000 poems and visited 11 countries on his bicycle Churches sometimes try to contain God and control His behavior - an impossible task The Why Jesus book series is a collection of Christian short essays, stories, poetry, and testimonies 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Pop Culture Purge Tour: text TOUR to 55444 Why Jesus video: https://bit.ly/4zdIq0c 🔗 CONNECT WITH WILLIAM OWENS Website: https://whyjesusbookseries.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whyjesusbookseries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whyjesusbooks 🔗 CONNECT WITH JOURNEY BY FAITH TV Website: https://journeybyfaith.tv/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH OF THE HEART POET Website: https://oftheheartpoet.com/ Profile: https://superprofile.bio/oftheheartpoet 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Tiny Revival (get 10% off with code TINA): https://tinyrevival.com/TINA Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

    One Family From Every Church Could End Tennessee’s Foster Care Crisis - Kathleen Janson

    Kathleen Janson was the life of the party, but it was all a facade - chasing acceptance through alcohol, drugs, and sex. Then a miraculous thing happened, Jesus met her with love and grace, offering her freedom and a whole new life. Today, Kathleen and her husband are the parents of two children adopted through the foster care system. She is the author of The Gift of Desperation: The True Story of God’s Grace Alive in a Life and the president of The One Child, whose mission is to eradicate the foster care system, one foster family at a time. There are 8,000 foster care children in Tennessee, and only 4,000 foster families stepping up. However, if one family from each of the churches in Tennessee said yes to a child, the foster care system would be eradicated. Kathleen is laser-focused on making this happen through educating and equipping the body of Christ. TAKEAWAYS Kathleen’s organization focuses specifically on equipping local churches to get involved with foster care The One Child’s plan consists of several phases and includes addressing the real problem of kids who age out of the system Kids who are in the juvenile detention center are there because of past trauma The solution for helping foster youth?

    Newborn’s Brain Hemorrhage Caused by Nanny Led to CPS Nightmare for Mother - Rachel Bruno

    When Rachel Bruno rushed her screaming seven-week-old newborn to the hospital, they told her he had a cranial fracture and a brain hemorrhage. It was a horrifying situation, made even worse by the fact that Rachel suspected that her nanny had been the one to potentially inflict this blunt-force trauma on her son. Little did Rachel know that she was the target of an unfair CPS investigation that would result in years of polygraphs and even potential jail time if charges had been pressed. From the state kidnapping of her 20-month-old son to the trauma of watching her newborn fight for his life after such a severe injury simultaneously, Rachel is a survivor of CPS gone wrong and administrative court overreach. She is an author, speaker, and advocate who warns about the victimization that can come at the behest of the court system and the state child welfare system. TAKEAWAYS Administrative court is not a constitutional court - it is therefore very hard to get a fair trial because they make their own rules In Rachel’s case, the nanny was not investigated for abuse, even though Rachel had to endure thorough questioning Her 20-month-old son at the time was forcibly removed by CPS at 2am and given many tests and vaccines without the parents’ consent Rachel founded a non-profit organization, The Giver Of Light, keeping parents and children protected from the corrupt child welfare system 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Tuttle Twins (get 15% off with code TINA15): https://bit.ly/4xLpJjL Fractured Hope book: https://amzn.to/4whb3Ho The Giver of Light: https://thegiveroflight.org/ Adoption and Safe Families Act: https://bit.ly/4z4WmK0 Couple Kills 2 Adopted Kids: https://bit.ly/4wKPShL Home School Legal Defense Association: https://bit.ly/3TYpYIQ 🔗 CONNECT WITH RACHEL BRUNO Website: https://rachelbruno.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/3S0TAVg Instagram: https://bit.ly/4hlmpWR X: twitter.com/rachelbruno 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
