    Megan Barnett on Empowering Women’s Voices

    In this week’s episode, Larry Kreider welcomes Megan Barnett to the Larry Kreider Leadership Podcast. Megan brings a wealth of leadership experience along with a heart to see women’s giftings and passions nurtured and their voices heard. Megan shares stories from her own leadership experiences and how God has provided guidance throughout her journey. Join Larry and Megan as they discuss the pitfalls of comparison and the importance of not letting negativity be the only voice we hear. Megan Barnett has a master’s degree in theology and ministry and serves as the spiritual formation manager at Hope International, where she oversees staff discipleship. In addition to her professional role, she is actively involved at Newport Church, where she leads and supports various initiatives and ministries. Megan's passion for teaching and preaching is evident as she shares her insights not only at her home church but also at other congregations. Her dedication to serving extends beyond her work and church community, as she plays a crucial role in the leadership team of B.L.A.Z.E. Women’s Ministry. Megan and her husband, David, live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Quotable Quotes: “The church that silences the women is shorn of half its power.”—Charles Finney “It’s important to listen to the cheerleaders just as much—if not more than—you listen to your critics.” “Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean that it’s not good.” Highlights: Women frequently lead with a motherly heart, allowing for additional care and responding with patience. It is essential for leaders to spend quality time with the Lord so that they can be filled before they can pour into others. In dealing with negative feedback, it’s important to bring it before the Lord and genuinely evaluate it. However, do not let that negative voice be the only voice you hear. Women, your voice is needed, your story matters, and your gifts and passions are valuable.  Mentioned in Today’s Episode: HOPE International Newport Church B.L.A.Z.E.

    Larry Kreider on Hearing God 30 Different Ways

    Join Larry Kreider as he shares insightful wisdom from his book Hearing God 30 Different Ways. Larry emphasizes the importance of gratitude, pausing to pray and listen, and being open to God speaking in a way that often differs from what we anticipate. He offers valuable advice on the importance of measuring what we hear against God's Word and evaluating it by the peace we sense within our hearts and lives. Quotable Quotes: “He [Jesus] might speak in a way that is different than we are expecting.” “The problem isn’t God speaking; the problem is the hearing.” “One word from God will change your life forever.” Highlights: Luke 24 How you hear the voice of God is often influenced by how you were taught and trained. Living a life of thanksgiving helps us hear God’s voice. John 6:63 Colossians 3:15 1 Kings 19:12 Create time and space to listen and pray. Proverbs 16:21 Acts 2:17-18 1 Corinthians 13:9 An effective way to discern when God is speaking to us is to consider whether the message aligns with His Word, whether there is peace in our hearts, and whether there is peace in external circumstances.

    Danail Tanev on The Power of Psalm 23

    Danail Tanev joins Larry Kreider to discuss his new book, Psalm 23: The Bible LIVE. Through personal experience and godly wisdom, Danail shares how the promises of Psalm 23 can deepen your relationship with God, bringing greater peace, trust, and refreshment as you experience the transformative power of this psalm in your life. Quotable Quotes: “We are designed with the need to follow something or somebody.” “One of the most important things in life that we need to learn in order to succeed is to be self-aware.” “Every time we hear God saying 'no,' it’s because of love.” “Peace is living with God.” “[Peace] isn’t contingent on what happens to you but who is with you.” Highlights: Psalm 23 Our life and future are determined by who and what we decide to follow. Because God’s ways are higher than ours, obedience to God doesn’t require understanding or agreement. The peace of God is so different from that of the world because God’s peace is not dependent on circumstances.

    Steve Backlund on The Culture of Empowerment

    Join Larry Kreider and Merle Shenk as they sit down with Steve Backlund to explore the key principles of empowerment in leadership, based on his book The Culture of Empowerment: How to Champion People. Steve will share insightful stories from his own leadership journey, encouraging listeners to recognize the untapped potential within their teams and to proactively empower them to make a meaningful impact. Don't miss this inspiring and challenging episode that will transform the way you lead and empower others! Steve Backlund is the co-founder of Igniting Hope and is senior associate director for Bethel Leaders Network. He is an author of numerous books and a leadership developer who travels extensively throughout the world, encouraging churches, leaders, and organizations to develop cultures of empowerment. Steve and his wife, Wendy, were senior pastors for seventeen years and now reside in Redding, California. Quotable Quotes: “Every organization has some kind of culture. A wise leader shapes culture intentionally and chooses a model where empowerment is the norm.” “My goal is not to build a big church but to build big people.”—Bill Johnson “Empowerment creates a culture of feedback.” “If we look to those we lead to meet our needs, we ask them to empower us instead of the other way around.” Highlights: Empowerment is giving away power to your team so they can have an impact, authority, and autonomy, allowing them to make decisions and contribute to the overall goal. As a leader, be influenceable, allowing your team to be empowered to influence you. Seek first to understand before you seek to be understood. The nature of most relationships when we first meet is excitement, then disappointment, then either disconnection or connection. Luke 6:45 One of the greatest things a leader can do is believe in their people.
