  6. S2E1: Chris Bell | What Kind of Culture Are You Setting?

    S2E1: Chris Bell | What Kind of Culture Are You Setting?

    This week Shawn steps back to the mic to interview one of his first coaching clients ever, Chris Bell.  Shawn and Chris talk about growing in healthy ways. Growth doesn’t always equal health. Bad things, like weeds, can grow quickly. Rather than focusing just on the growth, we need to look at the soil — the culture.  Every church and organization already has a culture. This leads us to questions such as: * Is the culture we have a culture we actually want?  * Have we created this culture, or did it just “happen” by accident? * Are there things in our culture we need to change?  Furthermore, Chris talks about what to do when you drift from the culture you want — and how even those moments can become teaching opportunities for your team.  Chris leads 3 Circle Church, a five campus church in South Alabama. 3 Circle Church = https://www.3circlechurch.com  Pastor Chris on Instagram = https://www.instagram.com/pastorchrisbell/     Book a free Strategy Session = www.CourageousPastors.com/strategy   See other posts on our site about culture: https://www.courageouspastors.com/blog?tag=%2Aculture

  7. Your marriage can tell a story bigger than you (Jeremy & Corrie Isaacs)

    10/13/2022

    Your marriage can tell a story bigger than you (Jeremy & Corrie Isaacs)

    In this episode, JC interviews his very best friend (and his wife’s bestie, as well), Jeremy and Corrie Isaacs. Jeremy and Corrie share a unique burden to minister marriages. They come from two different backgrounds. Jeremy’s parents had a solid marriage, but he never saw them “live out” the conflict— nor was he taught how to manage it. Corrie was raised by a single mom— with no marriage example to follow (her mother was married four times). However, she saw incredible marriages before her at church… and realized Jesus could restore everything. The two of them believe that God not only CAN redeem your marriage, but can also enable your marriage to tell a bigger story than you imagine possible.   ++++++++ See Jeremy’s coaching page at Courageous Pastors: https://www.courageouspastors.com/jeremy Find Generations Church online: https://www.g.church/ To book a Strategy Session go to www.CourageousPastors.com/strategy To learn more about building your killer team, grab your free book at www.KillerTeamBook.org

    Don't underestimate where you are now (w/ Kyle Jackson)

    Kyle Jackson brings a unique perspective to the Courageous Pastors Podcast. Usually, with speak senior leaders, but Kyle brings his experience as a campus pastor and let us know things like:  How to support the vision of the leader you’re following, as well as How to lead well when you’re not in charge He’s actually be on staff with his wife, too, for 13 of the 15 years he’s been in ministry. His wife is a worship leader where he serves.   Kyle is the son of an evangelist. He walked away from church from 18-25, but reconnected when he attended a mobile church— in a high school. After about 13 weeks of standing “in row 10, with his arms crossed,” he began connecting… and continued taking next steps.  He became a teaching pastor. Then a coach. And then continued growing.   Through some relationships, he transitioned to becoming a campus pastor with Church of the Highlands, to launch the first “out of the state” campus in Columbus, Georgia. They launched in August 2019— and closed 6 months later (for Covid). Then, re-launched when everything opened up again.    ++++++++ To book a Strategy Session go to www.CourageousPastors.com/strategy  To learn more about building your killer team, grab your free book at www.KillerTeamBook.org
