Faithfully Led

Tribe, here we are! The episode that I have been talking about with the one and only Chris Mitchell.  This episode more than any other episode had such a profound impact on me.  Chris'  amazing story will not only make you think about what defines you, but will change your perspective of how we look at our lives.  I had such a great time with Chris and I knew that this was the opportunity to share his story.  We are living in very precarious times where we need a different perspective on life.  God is always with us, and shows up in everyone, and people like Chris shows us just that!!

Tribe!!  I truly can't say this enough about how blessed I have been to come across some incredible people.  This is one of those people, The Unstoppable Nicole Henderson!! Nicole and I share some things in common, we are both veterans, we are both single parents, we are both from New York City, but most importantly...WE ARE BOTH BELIEVERS!!  Nicole has been an entrepreneur for some time now.  She has even created her own leadership course, and she is a #1 Best selling author, titled "Take It Back".

Tribe!!  This was an episode that I recorded back in November of last year...I know it's been a while, lol.  I had the honor, and privilege to have on the show Chris and Stephanie Teague.  They are a married duo who are simply AMAZING!! This husband and wife duo, Out of the Dust, who began and continue their lives just outside of Nashville, TN. Their story of downfall, heartbreak, and miraculous redemption is woven deep into the fabric of their music will make you fall in love with them.  Check it out!!

Tribe!!  Man, this has been one heck of a week for me, and for the rest of us, one heck of a year.  Some of us unfortunately have lost more than they have ever imagined.  Our nation as a whole has lost sight of what we stand for, and our identity.  In this episode I speak about the importance of knowing who we are and our identity.  If we don't know who we are as an individual, how can we contribute to a group? 

Tribe, with everything going on in the world, we can never be prepared enough.  God will always throw us a curve, and we have to be able to adapt.  With everything going on right now, there is a lot of uncertainty, but also a ton of information and not enough wisdom.  Alex and Sarah Dumas bring just that, WISDOM!!  Today we talk about being prepared in business, from finances, and also how to support the transition at home.  How we can support each other, or find that support that we need to get through these challenging times.  

We can never get too far away from God, he will always find a way to bring us back...but we have to be listening.  Alex and Sarah, the DYNAMIC DUO POWER COUPLE gives the best advice to help make that happen.  To help you listen to not only wisdom, but God's word.  

Tribe!! Alex and Sarah are a married couple with two kids. They have built several successful businesses from Network Marketing to Financial Services. A number of these years were spent building teams and serving clients… separately. Alex and Sarah never ‘mixed’ their businesses or got involved with what the other spouse was doing. Keeping their opportunities separate led to spending precious time apart and ‘hustling’ becoming burnt out, and unfulfilled

In 2018, they decided to team up together to create Abundance Daily Inc. This decision came as a realization that to achieve their goals it would be easier and more effective to work as a team rather than separate entities.  Today we talk about the need to serve other ambitious power couples through coaching and their T.E.A.M.W.O.R.K. model.

Tribe!! As you all know I served proudly in our armed forces for over 17 years.  You learn a thing or two about leadership, but you also tend to think that those skills automatically transfer over when you leave the service.  Many entrepreneurs like myself found out the hard way.  My guest today is someone I am proud to not only call my friend, but family!  Chris Galluccio and I served together work on F-16 Fighter jets.  I was the guy who took care of the entire jet, but he was the guy who ensured the pilot ejections system was always ready to perform flawlessly.  

Tribe!!  By far one of the most exciting interviews I have had the honor of conducting.  Angela Marshall has been through it all.  The Story & Life of an Ex-NFL Wife shares trials and triumphs about going from a "supposed" lavish lifestyle to divorce, to working in a corporate setting then eventually taking the leap to get off the bench and get in the game of life. Angela speaks and shares her story to inspire not to impress. We talk about the good, the bad and the true reality to rags to riches to become a global influential presenter- Growing and sowing spiritually has enabled Angela to live God's purpose and plans that inspires others. 

Tribe!! As we are all indoors, and on lockdown, even as some of our states have begun to open up we still have to find ways to adapt to our new lives.  It's not a new normal, but a shift in how we live our life.  The best way to help you with that change is having a mentor.  There is a saying, "War doesn't wait until you are ready" and now our world is in a radical change. 

 Today’s guest is Kevin Harris, President of Radical Mentoring, an intentional small group mentoring process to help church pastors engage men, build a core group of leaders, and transform their churches. Kevin is passionate about being a resource for church leaders that have incorporated small group mentoring into their disciple-making strategy.

Kevin and I speak about how we as men can not only break certain societal stigmas, and become the leaders God, our family, and our communities want and need.  These are some crazy times we are living in and we have to be able adapt quickly.  the best way we can do that is by Faith, but also having a mentor to guide you through help help discern what God is doing for you in your life.

Don't plan for the worst and hope for the best, Plan for the best and adapt to the worst.

Tribe!!  As you all may know I am a licensed Life Insurance Agent in the State of NJ, and on this episode I am speaking with a team member Keith Jones.  Keith has been an entrepreneur for over 30 YEARS!!  Yes, 3 decades worth of experience in business, but also he has over 5 years of experience with life insurance.  

Today we discuss the importance of being prepared for the inevitable.  During this crazy time during the Coronavirus and the uncertainty of life in general, we all need to be prepared for what we leave behind for our family. The importance of having the final expense issue taken care of, and how to stay in business for decades to come.  some businesses will never reopen their doors, and some will have their entire livelihoods destroyed by what is going on.  Keith and I discuss ways to keep that from happening to you, and how you can stay prepared and even thrive during the most uncertain of times.  

Tribe!!  Today my guest is a great friend and fellow coach, Jason Pockrandt.  Jason is a fellow entrepreneur, author, dad, husband, all around renaissance man.  I have had the honor of having him coach me on how to get my business started.  As a matter of fact, Jason was absolutely instrumental in helping me develop the the Faithfully Led Podcast.  

Jason and his wife have a ton of experience with online marketing and business with ventures in Amazon, and now Shopify and have earned 6 figures.  Jason is a passionate father who even wrote his own book about fatherhood.  I know you guys will not only enjoy this conversation but learn so much from him, especially once we start to recover from the coronavirus epidemic that has changed our lives forever. 

TRIBE!!  Yes, I am now posting my interviews on You Tube so everyone can enjoy.  I recorded this episode yesterday with Pastor Steve Hinton.  I previously had him on the show a few weeks back, and if you didn't get a chance to check out that interview, I will post the link so you can listen in and get acquainted.   

Today’s guest is Lathan Craft, a husband, father, pastor, writer, speaker, and podcaster.  Lathan has ultimately devoted his life to being a hope-dealer.  He believes that everyone is just one heartbeat away from hope, no matter how hopeless things may seem. This belief in the power of hope is why Lathan is launching a new non-profit, A Heartbeat of Hope, which aims to spread words of hope to those who may need them most.

Lathan is the author of The Leper in the Church: Stories From the Unseen, a book about mental illness and the Church, and is currently working on a series of books about some of the lesser known characters in the Bible. We talk about what happened in his life that made him focus on God, and why his mission is so important to others.  Not only will you get to know Lathan, but you will want to spread his ministry, and be a part of his mission after hearing our discussion. 

Her his how you can find Lathan, and purchase his book, The Leper in the Church: Stories From the Unseen 

Tribe!!  We are all living in unprecedented times right now because of the Coronavirus Pandemic.  People are losing everything, and some don't even know where to begin to rebuild.  Today, I speak with my friend, fellow veteran, and Certified Dave Ramsey Financial Peace instructor, Tammy Medica. 

Tammy and I talk about how to create a budget right where you are, and how to find extra money even when you don't think you have any.  We also go over systems such as the Debt Snowball and how to use that to your advantage.  This is a very successful strategy that has gotten thousands of people out of debt.  

Times are very difficult, and we need all the help we can get.  This may not solve your income issue, but it is a good foundation to help you get on your feet and stay ahead of the game.  We may have been struggling before, and have had to make some really difficult choices based on what we did, or didn't do.  Now is the time to set yourself up for not only Financial Peace, but Financial success!!

Schavass Hamilton, the founder of Faith Enhancers Movement.  Schavass and I have known each other for almost two decades, and have served together in the United States Air Force.  Recently we were speaking about what God has been doing in our lives, and how faith is more important now than ever in our current global situation.  Schavass' passion about faith is explosive and we talk about how you can transform your doubt into faith.  All you need is the faith the size of a mustard seed, (Matthew 17:20) and the goals of the Faith Enhancers Movement on what the mission is, and how this movement is going to transform lives around the world.

With the growing pandemic that is changing our way of life, we all have to look to different ways to do do things.  Life will never be the same, and that is a VERY good thing.  Change is an absolute, but it's how we embrace that change is what is going to determine how quickly, and how successfully we will adjust.  Today I am speaking with Pastor Danny Davis who is the author of the upcoming book, Rural Church Turnaround: Real Life Experiences of Rural Pastors and Lay Leaders.

We discuss elements of what not only churches have to face in the new normal, but what we have to do as leaders in our communities to not only prepare others, but prepare ourselves.  We discuss moments in his life when he not only relied on sheer faith, but what it meant to humble yourself and leave it in the hands of God. 

Hey Tribe!!  I know we all are stuck indoors and it can be a trying time for some of us.  This can also be a time where not only are faith is tested,  but as parents so is our patience.  This isn't going to last, and we will eventually be out of our lockdown, but for the time being we have to learn how to communicate with each other as parents.  Some may have split duties due to divorce, or even first responders, and military families having to work remotely.

In 1997, Ellis Lucas was wallowing in despair at the Clay County Missouri Jail after his home was raided by a SWAT team in connection with a massive ring of drug and paraphernalia manufacturing. He could never have imagined the unbelievable life transformation that was about to occur...

Alone and scared in his jail cell, Lucas couldn’t help but flashback to a tumultuous life that included everything from childhood abuse to years of depression, drug and alcohol addiction, the premature loss of his mother, hatred of his father over their turbulent relationship, a violent car wreck, a near-death experience in a house fire, debts beyond his means, a broken marriage and estrangement from his children. There in his cell, Lucas was reminded of the fervent Christian faith his mother clung ever so tightly too, right up until cancer robbed her of every last breath.

As Lucas chronicled extensively in his highly acclaimed first book, The Potter And The Clay, before his case ever got to trial, he was given some startling and surely supernatural news. The authorities were not able to find a single one of his fingerprints in any room or on any possession in that entire house, despite the fact that he had touched practically everything in the place! All charges were dropped.

Today, I have an awesome conversation with Erin who is a pastor and host of her own online community, Hometable Community where you can attend service online and in your home.  We discuss the difficulties of being a pastor, and mom, but also some of the hurdles that pastors face today on how to better equip Christ followers.  Also, Erin gives some great tips on what to do if you are struggling with your faith and how churches can use modern technology to not only reach out to your own community, but others as well. 

We all have our seasons that we go through, but for most of us, when tend to believe that we aren't worthy of sitting at the table and feast on the blessings that God has for us.  We tend to be happy by just getting by and picking up the scraps.  That isn't what God intended for us, and that isn't how we should live our lives.  Today, Chris and I discuss just that, Our seat at the table and why we are not only welcomed at the table, but have a seat reserved for us! 

If there was an episode that I was looking forward to sharing, THIS IS IT!!!  Today I am speaking with Shirene Gentry, author of "Identity Unveiled:Daughter of the King of Kings"  as she reveals to us something that shook her identity of who she was, down to the core.  Shirene details about a revelation that occurred in 2017 that changed her life forever.  She details her journey into her past about where she came from, and who her earthly father truly was.  She also describes how her faith in Christ played a major role in this revelation, and how through. her faith overcame something that would truly change her life forever.

Be sure to purchase her book and understand her story more in-depth and discover how her story can not only impact your life, but help you shape your faith in Christ, and take it to another level.

Also find out more about how her father served in the US Military and the role that he played in shaping her life, and also world events.

Lies, Inadequate response, On going unprosperous situations we get stuck in, Negativity, Denial, Ego, Non belief in yourself-L.I.O.N.'s D.E.N. when you break it down this is a great way to look at things.  We all fight the lies that are being told to us, from everywhere, through satan. we all feel like we have, or not prepared to have an adequate response to issues, situations where we feel stuck, and the negativity that surrounds us.

 We sometimes live in denial, let our ego's get the best of us, and not believe in ourselves, and have to face situations that we are not prepared to handle, or feel that way anyways.  In this episode with Chris, he and I talk about what people can do to overcome these issues, how this acronym can be useful in identifying what is happening in your life today. How you can have God help you get through whatever it is that is keeping you from your best.  Remember, God protected Daniel from the lions, in THEIR DEN, what makes you think he won't protect you when you are in the enemy's den?!

Emily Gaudreau is a former Playboy.com photographer who one day had an epiphany about the industry that she was in.  It gave  her incredible insight on something that plagues us all.  She heard the call from God to step up and help families educate themselves on how to protect their children from sexual predators.

In the second part of my series with Chris O'Such we talk about fear and how it can be used for you, and also how allowing fear to overcome you, how it can hurt you in ways you didn't think possible.  If you didn't catch the first episode with Chris, go back and check out our episode on shame and listen in to what Chris has to say.  Fear of Shame is also something that we touch on, how having such fear can lead to even bigger shame, and pain.

I got the honor and the privilege to have Ruth Snyder as my guest.  Ruth is an author, speaker, and a coach who hails from Canada and gave us some insight on the struggles of infertility and how she overcame the pain of trying to start a family through her faith.  Ruth gave us a compelling story of adversity, and how she overcame it all.  Ruth also gives us some great tips on how to become a self published author, and what to do if you are struggling to come up with ideas to write about.  

This is the first episode in a series with my brother in Christ, Chris O'Such.  Today we are speaking about shame, and how we deal with it, and how we can overcome it.  Fact is, we all feel shame about something, and this can hold us back from achieving God's blessing on your life.  This will keep us from achieving our true potential, and not being able to go and help others that are dealing with the same thing. 

Chris and I get deep into this topic and Chris shares some personal shame that he had to let go of to help him become the Sheppard that he is. In earning trust in himself, and his peers, by doing something incredibly brave to unlock his potential in his own life, but also in leading others.  Chris shares some great insight and tips on how to use not only God's word, but how it applies to your everyday life and struggle.  Make no mistake, dealing with shame is an everyday struggle, and Christ opens up on how he took on the fight head on.
