The Leadership Roundtable Podcast

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 1 of the Leadership Roundtable! A podcast with Dr. Conway Edwards. Special Guest: NFL Hall of Famer Pastor Aeneas Williams joins us to talk leadership lessons and the importance of leading with the team in mind!

Special Guest: Pastor Luke Brownell. Healthy leaders understand that you can either have control or you can have growth… but you can’t have both! If everything is under control, it is likely a sign that your organization is NOT growing, or at least not growing as fast as it could be. An organization that is growing will never have enough leaders. Pastor Luke Brownell joins us to discuss how to identify (and overcome) the specific challenges that are holding back opportunities for growth in your organization! 

Special Guest: Pastor Luke Brownell. When something is “sticky” it doesn’t move easily, and it usually clings to whatever it touches. Creating a sticky environment in your organization means designing a rhythm to get new people attached to the vision and move them from guests to spectators to contributors as quickly as possible! Too often leaders are focused on the numbers and miss the opportunity to connect people to what God has called them to do. Pastor Luke Brownell, One Community Church Prosper Campus Pastor, joins us to discuss the key next steps your organization can take to get your people to stick!

Special Guest: Bishop Van Moody. The true mark of a healthy leader is summed up in the answer to one question: Can you lead your own life well? Great leaders understand the importance of self-reflection and accountability. If you are not where you need to be, or WHO you need to be for your teams, it is easy to become a stumbling block to the work that God is trying to do. Bishop Van Moody joins us to discuss some key strategies for leaders to use when taking inventory of their own lives. It all starts on the inside! 

Special Guest: Bishop Dale Bronner. Innovation is NOT an option; it is essential for growth. We must be able to look far enough into the future to anticipate what the needs will be before they come, reflect on where we've been and determine where we want to go. Bishop Dale Bronner joins us to discuss what innovation looks like in the church and how great leaders use innovation to inspire and empower their teams. 

Special Guest: Pastor Luke Brownell. Part 2 of Dr. Conway Edward's conversation with Pastor Luke Brownell of One Community Church Prosper Campus discussing the key strategies to successfully relaunch your church, re-engage volunteers and get your community on board!

Stay tuned for Part 2, coming soon!   

When it comes to recruting volunteers, church leaders face a unique challenge to grow their teams while keeping current volunteers engaged. Dr. Conway Edwards shares some key strategies to best identify where people best fit so they can thrive in and within churches in the future! 

Special Guest: Pastor Mike, Jr. - How do you influence the people you cannot reach?
