Best rabbit hole ever
I found this podcast while listening to Steve being interviewed on another podcast (Carey Nieuwhof) and man what a fabulously rewarding rabbit hole the past year++ has been. The podcast, the book, the Capable Life content - it’s all exactly what I needed and has been transformational for me as a leader. Thank you Steve and everyone at Capable Life for bringing such great content week after week, season after season. 🙏🏻
Love your show but one small suggestion
I love your show and learn so much from it! Lately, though, the first entire half seems to be taken up with pitching your class and books. Please consider moving that info to the second half of the show and getting right to the “meat” of the show, at least for most of your episodes. I know you need to share about your course and offerings sometimes. Thanks!!
Insightful
A lot of what Steve shares and opens up about proves to be very encouraging and specifically helpful to a lot of struggles I face in leadership. I often can’t find this kind of Christian-saturated, yet self-aware information anywhere else. This is a must listen for Christian leaders today.
