The Leadership Roundtable Podcast

Season 4, Episode 10: All skills are not created equal. Some skills are popular, but WAY LESS influential. Leadership is what we call a "meta" skill. Being a leader means doing the things that leaders do... and everybody wants to be a leader until that time comes! Great leaders understand that in order to achieve their vision, they MUST learn to discover, develop and deploy others... you don't go as far as your dream; you go as far as your team! Special guest, Dr. Dharius Daniels, Lead Pastor of Change Church, joins us to discuss the significance of leaders being intentional about developing their leadership skills! 

SEASON 4, BONUS EPISODE: Special Guest: Dr. Johnny Parker, Leadership Consultant. CEO/Founder of The Parker Group, LLC. 

Season 4, Episode 9: Leaders see before others see. The question every great leader must ask is how can we reimagine the future and prepare ourselves for the church of tomorrow? Forecasting what is to come makes people uncomfortable because have a tendency to cling to what was, rather than embracing what could be. Special Guest Dr. E. Dewey Smith, Sr., Pastor of House of Hope in Atlanta, GA. joins us to discuss the importance of reaching the next generation in the church through inclusion, holistic leadership, vulnerability, authenticity and genuine connection!

Season 4, Episode 8: Sharing Jesus online is so much more than standing on a virtual "soapbox" and telling people how they should live. We are seeing God move in these spaces in ways that we can see anywhere else, and different types of leaders thrive in these areas more than others. Our special guest, Jeff Reed, founder of THECHURCH.DIGITAL & DigitalChurch.Network, joins the podcast to share how we can find value in using online tools to mobilize, motivate and equip people to share their Jesus stories in digital communities! For more information about Jeff Reed’s ministry and TheChurch.Digital, visit the following websites:Thechurch.digital.com sharingjesusonline.com 

Season 4, Episode 7: The culture that you create will not only attract the right people but also repel the wrong ones! As a leader, establishing a culture within your organization helps people make the best decisions even when you’re not in the room. On today’s episode, Dr. Conway Edwards discusses his latest book, Fence Post Leadership, and the importance of having a strategy for creating the culture that you want. 

Season 4, Episode 6: Triangulation is a major issue that can plague any organization, no matter its size. At its core, triangulation represents an inability or unwillingness to resolve conflict through courageous (and often uncomfortable) conversation. As leaders, it is imperative to understand how triangulation occurs and how to address it as soon as it arises. In this episode, we will discuss key strategies for you to identify and control triangulation within your organization! Interested in more leadership tools?

Season 4, Episode 5: No matter what type of organization you're a part of, there are specific values and guidelines that we like to call the "House Rules." It is important that leaders not only be familiar with the house rules but also be ambassadors for them within the culture. These are the things that make your organization unique. Join us on this special New Year's episode as we break down the foundational operating principles at our church that make us one community and provide an outline of expectations for our staff, members, and friends. As you listen, start thinking about your own organization and ask yourself, "What are the rules of our house?" Interested in more leadership tools?

Season 4, Episode 4: The story of our church is one of God’s faithfulness. We learned early that when you put what you have in His hands, there is no telling what He will do with it! Every step of the way along this 14-year journey, God has provided opportunities greater than we could have imagined… but it started with us asking some tough questions, making difficult decisions, and forcing ourselves out of our comfort zones for the glory of God! Special guest, Pastor Kurtran Wright, one of the original staff members of One Community Church, joins us once again to talk about our uniquely humble beginnings. 

Season 4, Episode 3: How does a leader know when it’s time to move to the next level? Great leaders need to be able to discern when someone is in their leadership "sweet spot!" Special guest Pastor Kurtran Wright joins us to discuss some mistakes that leaders often make when trying to develop other leaders and the key strategies to determining when a leader on your team is ready to expand their reach! 

Season 4, Episode 2: What factors can determine church growth? The reality is that every church is different, and therefore leaders must be in tune with the unique culture of the congregation and the specific needs of the community they desire to serve. As One Community Church gets ready to celebrate 14 years, Pastor Kurtran Wright, one of our original members, joins us to talk about humble beginnings and the unique strategies that churches can adopt as they start growing!
