    How to Thrive as a Forerunner in a Changing World - LM0256

    When God shows us something, it's time to act on it, right? Well, as we look through Scripture, that's certainly not often the case. As Scott and Ken mention, sometimes we struggle to understand what God wants us to do and when. This struggle is meant to help us rely on God more fully. Otherwise, we are virtually guaranteed to make a mess of it as we try to do things ourselves. That's the struggle of being a forerunner. Scott and Ken discuss what a forerunner is, the challenges of being ahead of and alongside everyone else, and some pitfalls to be aware of. ➡️ Read the blog post Follow or Subscribe➡️ Apple Podcasts ➡️ Google Podcasts ➡️ Spotify ➡️ Amazon KEY TAKEAWAYS:Discover how religion as an end unto itself will inevitably lead us astray.Overcome the challenges of being a forerunner in your sphere of influence.Explore the power of filling the void with God for a more fulfilling life.

    Lifelong Learning and Self-Discipleship for Leaders with Ken Brooks

    How do we develop as leaders in God's Kingdom? On the one hand, we must submit to God and allow Him to be in control. But on the other hand, discipleship is not a passive process. Rather, it's an intentional process. Ken Brown is no stranger to the tension between being passive and trying to charge ahead rather than waiting on God.

    From Brainwashed to Empowered: Peter Young's Story of Escaping a Cult's Toxic Leadership

    Peter Young shares the chilling experience of being a part of a destructive religious cult. As he delves into the dangers of toxic leadership and the lasting impact it can have, Peter's story takes an unexpected turn. Looking back, it seems inevitable, but it took him completely by surprise at the time, and it was something his brother said that helped him to see what was really going on.  Listen to discover some of the earmarks of cults as well as a discussion of how toxic leadership always tries to supplant God-ordained order and structure. ➡️ Read the blog post Follow or Subscribe➡️ Apple Podcasts ➡️ Google Podcasts ➡️ Spotify ➡️ Amazon KEY TAKEAWAYS:An insider’s perspective on decoded signals of cults and strategies to recognize them.A key leadership truth about hard decisions from Peter's failure and what he's learned.Valuable insights that shed light on leadership traits born out of the ashes of failure and how to embrace them. LINKS & RESOURCES:Stop the Tall Man, Save the Tiger, a memoir about Peter’s experience in a destructive cult and how he found redemption.The Blue Team, a fictional story that uses basketball to demonstrate biblical principles and highlights positive lessons of sharing, caring, and standing firm.Author Peter Young's website, where you can learn more about his story, find leadership insights, and more. ABOUT PETER YOUNGPeter Young is a sports broadcaster now turned author. He's written two books, The Blue Team, and Stop the Tall Man, Save the Tiger. Life has thrown him many curveballs, including an unexpected transition out of sports broadcasting. But probably the biggest curveball was realizing that he and his family had spent years in a cult - and they didn't realize it. Now, looking back, he has a powerful perspective on the importance of good leadership - especially in the home - and how to recognize the kind of toxic leadership and culture that has the potential to create a cult. His story can enlighten us to the dangers of powerful, but misguided (and misguiding) leadership. These are lessons that have cost him and his family dearly, and our hope is that his story can help some avoid the pain he's gone through and others find healing and restoration. ✅ Follow to get the show for free ✅ Let's Connect ✅ Get updates on my book Mentioned in this episode: Anthologies from the Forefront Find the entire Anthologies from the Forefront trilogy on Amazon.
