  1. Working with Difficult People: Providing Empathy, Communicating Effectively, & Embracing Healthy Disagreement to See the Best in Others with Dynamic Speaker & Best-Selling Author, Ryan Leak, Ep. 221

    Working with Difficult People: Providing Empathy, Communicating Effectively, & Embracing Healthy Disagreement to See the Best in Others with Dynamic Speaker & Best-Selling Author, Ryan Leak, Ep. 221

    Who is the most complicated person you work with? You probably don’t have to think very hard to answer that question. You already know their name, their job title, their quirks, and their flaws. You have firsthand experience with the mental and emotional fallout they leave in their wake. You’ve seen the problems their complexity creates for everyone on their team. You wish you could fix them, solve them, ignore them, or teleport them to a parallel dimension. But you can’t. You have to work with them. (You could quit, but your next job will have a complicated person waiting for you there too.) That means you need effective strategies to collaborate with (nearly) anyone. Especially the picky, prickly, problematic ones. Drawing from his global consulting experience with teams and leaders from the glitz of sports and entertainment, to the number-crunching world of finance, to the meticulous realms of insurance, pharma, and manufacturing, today’s guest - a dynamic speaker and bestselling author, Ryan Leak, will provide you with proven strategies for seeing challenging individuals as human beings to understand rather than problems to solve, detoxing unrealistic expectations and getting comfortable with complicated, learning to communicate effectively in complex environments, embracing healthy disagreement as a tool to discover better solutions, and setting boundaries that let people into your world without letting them run your world. In the episode Ryan shares, “The process of learning to collaborate with difficult individuals is transformative—it’s a gateway to greater creativity, stronger teams, and increased productivity, because on the other side of complicated is the wonderful, wide-open world of effective collaboration and a workplace you love.”  Ryan’s Website: https://www.ryanleak.com/  Pre-Order Ryan’s Book How to Work with Complicated People: https://www.amazon.com/How-Work-Complicated-People-Collaboration-ebook/dp/B0D7J86R16  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

    Midst of a Comparison Culture with Best-Selling Author, Speaker, & Former Miss Universe, Demi Leigh Tebow, Ep. 219

    On this earth, a crown is what separates victors from the rest of the competitors, but the goal of creating a life worth living is not to gain a trophy, get a prize, or keep the crown. However, when all we’re focused on is the prize and not the process, we find ourselves in a dangerous position quickly attaching our identities to our accomplishments. However, our lives are not meant to be about being number one or making our own names known. Therefore, while walking you through the journey of her evolving confidence—from basing her identity on temporary labels and her own efforts, to discovering the rock-solid security of anchoring her dreams in her Maker—today’s guest, Demi Leigh Tebow joins Zach & Dr. Tim Clinton to weave her story together with the insights she's learned along the way. Today’s conversation will show you how to relate to the discomfort, confusion, and doubt that arises when you base your confidence on external things; discover God-confidence when your plans take unexpected detours, know what do when planted in unknown territory, use your story to grow an eternal impact, and stay grounded in the truth of who you are in Christ. The purpose of our lives is to love and serve God and others. Demi shows how you can be encouraged to focus not just on your aspirations, but on your greater purpose and leave behind a footprint of significance, not just success.

  4. Exchanging Worry for Worship: Holding Fast to Your Faith as an Anchor in the Midst of Anxiety with Pastor, Speaker, & Hope Dealer Grant Troutt, Ep. 218

    Exchanging Worry for Worship: Holding Fast to Your Faith as an Anchor in the Midst of Anxiety with Pastor, Speaker, & Hope Dealer Grant Troutt, Ep. 218

    Philippians 4:6 reminds us to, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Now, this verse is not saying that you won’t worry, or even that worry is a sin. However, it’s a reminder to us that in our moments of worry, fear, and anxiety, we have the opportunity to substitute those things when we humbly and quickly present those very things before the Lord instead of dwelling on them. Because, when you turn your worry into worship, God will turn your battles into blessings. Joining us today to dive deeper into his own personal testimony and ways in which he has managed and overcome anxiety of his own is a dear friend and familiar face and voice on the podcast, Grant Troutt. Grant is a well known speaker, young adult pastor, and truly a dispensor of hope! And today he wants to remind you that in the midst of the challenge you may find yourself in today to continually pray for God to not deliver you until He has fully developed you!  Follow Grant on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/grant_troutt/?hl=en  Grant’s Message, “The War Against Worry”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI84LXMNma8  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

  6. Your Story Has a Villian: Understanding the Enemy’s Plan for Your Life & Developing a Strategy to Defeat Him with NYT Bestselling Author, Renowned Speaker, & Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church, Jonathan Pokluda, Ep. 216

    Your Story Has a Villian: Understanding the Enemy’s Plan for Your Life & Developing a Strategy to Defeat Him with NYT Bestselling Author, Renowned Speaker, & Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church, Jonathan Pokluda, Ep. 216

    There is an Enemy among us. You may know who he is, but you may not know what he is about. Do you know how he wages war? Do you know how he targets you specifically? He's the Villain who wants to change your story in the hopes you live isolated, powerless, discouraged, and defeated. Satan has waged a war with the Almighty, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and his sole desire is to keep you from God's goodness. He knows that he has been defeated by Jesus' death and resurrection, but until the final battle when he is cast into hell for eternity, he and his demons roam the earth like a roaring lion looking for anyone to devour. He is far more disruptive to our lives than we realize, and it's time to take action. Therefore, in today’s conversation, Zach & Josh sit down with New York Times bestselling author, renowned speaker, and lead pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church, Jonathan Pokluda, to unpack his newest book, Your Story Has a Villain to explore the tactics of Satan, equip you to overcome spiritual battles, and remind you of the victory already secured through Jesus. Remember, as Christ followers we must be aware of the enemy’s schemes, but we don’t have to be afraid, because as 1 John 4:4 reminds us, “greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” Yes, your story has a villain, an unseen enemy disrupting your life more than you realize. But we must remember our hero is Jesus Christ, who came so that we may "have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). We know the grim, eternal outcome for Satan and his demons, but the battle still rages. So, the question that remains is, are you ready to fight back, find freedom from sin and toxic thinking, and walk in the abundant life available to you?    Purchase a Copy of Your Story Has a Villain: https://shorturl.at/Th9nK  Purchase a Copy of Your Story Has a Villain Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: https://shorturl.at/VnXAb  Visit JP’s Website: https://www.jonathanpokluda.com/  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

    The UpHill Climb: Reshaping Your Perspective & Preparing For Your Purpose with Author, Motivational Speaker, & Former College Football Superstar, Kadarian ‘KD’ Hill, Ep. 214

    Kadarian ‘KD’ Hill has a powerful testimony as he shares how a little boy with a big dream became a powerful man with an even bigger dream. At a very young age, KD Hill discovered football and passion for the game. With the help of his single mom, who worked hard to provide for herself and her young son, he learned the game and became a powerful force playing defense for an SEC powerhouse! While on that journey, he became an award-winning defensive tackle. Yet, his dream was to play in the NFL. After his final season playing for the Ole Miss Rebels, and with his dream seemingly coming to fruition, he began a targeted training program and garnered the interest of several NFL teams. On and off the field he had proved himself to be the man and athlete he had always dreamed of being. However, in order to provide for his family while continue to train for the NFL draft, KD was driving a truck late one night when the unthinkable happened. On the morning of July 21, 2023 around 4:30 AM, just outside of Cullman, Alabama, everything changed concerning his NFL Dream. In a matter of the seconds that it takes for an accident to happen, KD found himself pinned in the truck with his right leg smashed by the dashboard of the freightliner he was driving. Within 10 minutes the state trooper was on the scene of the accident and more help was on the way, KD was given the news that, for him to be freed from the truck, part of his right leg would have to be amputated. The surgeon arrived on the scene, freed KD from the truck and the dream of a career in the NFL ended. However, KD knew that God was his refuge and source of strength in his time of trouble no matter what came next, as football wasn’t KD’s only dream, and it wasn’t God’s ultimate plan for his life. Today, KD is a successful motivational speaker speaking to football teams and business organizations and sharing his story of hope, overcoming challenges, and finding success after tragedy. He has been a guest on Good Morning America and is loving life while living out a dream bigger than he ever had before. A now author of his memoir titled, The UpHill Climb: The KD Hill Story, KD will be sure to inspire you through today’s conversation with his practical perspective shifts and resounding hope and faith in a God who has EVERYTHING within His control!   KD’s Website: https://hlx.gg/kd-hill  KD’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/Uphill-Climb-KD-Hill-Story/dp/B0DMG4VCD5  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
