    Joshua Ryan Butler on Christian leaders going beyond Right & Left in a divided, political world.

    Joshua Ryan Butler on Christian leaders going beyond Right & Left in a divided, political world.

    In an age where the intersection of faith and politics seems more like a battleground than a meeting ground, Joshua Ryan Butler offers a beacon of hope and clarity. 

    As a pastor, author, and speaker based in Portland, Oregon, Butler is no stranger to the complexities of living out one's faith in a politically charged environment for leaders.

    His latest book, "The Party Crasher," explores the divisive nature of politics and presents a novel framework for understanding and engaging in the political landscape without compromising our Christian convictions or unity.

Epic! Listen!

This podcast is epic. Do yourself a favor and listen.

yeeeeeeeeessssss ,

Absolutely stacked with helpful and insightful words.

Nick and Kim are insanely talented people who balance practical and logical wisdom for leaders. Lead Together is helpful in all aspects of leadership whether that’s at home or at work. Even in the handful of released episodes, it’s really challenged me to re-examine how I can practically lead my family through a gospel lens that will lend to my family’s spiritual health and re-establish the culture in our home. 10/10 would recommend!

Practical and applicable

The concepts of leadership for all aspects of life (family, work, etc) are explained so practically. It’s helped me grow as a Christ follower and as a man. I was never a person who thought too much about the concepts explained. But hearing them shared in a way that was extremely applicable to my life has really started to help me grow. Praise God for minds that love others well. Keep up the great work.
