The Conversation with Adam Weber

For the first episode in our New Year’s series, I asked one of the most positive people I know, Jon Gordon, to join us and talk about his “one word” concept. Jon is a best-selling author and keynote speaker who changed his life through changing his perspective (along with having a strong faith in Jesus). It turns out Jon isn’t naturally positive at all! Not feeling super positive this New Year? Not great with setting (let alone keeping) your resolutions? Consider choosing a single word to focus on instead.  Why? Jon says, “it provides clarity and focus. It gives meaning, mission, passion and purpose.” Protip: Be sure to listen to the end when Jon shares advice he wished he had gotten earlier in life (it’s not what you think).

In today’s conversation, I sit down with my friend, Jordan Montgomery. Jordan is a rising star in the speaking world and because of that, he’s spoken at events with John Maxwell and crossed paths with WNBA star Caitlin Clark. Jordan shares what’s been fun and hard during this season and then turns the table to ask me what I’m learning in my own life right now!  As many of us know, professional success can make winning at home difficult. Jordan shares how he intentionally balances saying yes and saying no and the significance of spending time with God to discern life's true priorities.  We also talk about encouragement, and how it’s both an art and a science, which means it’s something we can all learn to do better, even if it doesn’t come naturally. Jordan and I honor 4 specific people in our lives who have been encouragers to us. Whether you're a leader, parent, or someone seeking inspiration, this episode is packed with heartfelt insights and practical wisdom.

In today’s episode, I get to have a conversation with the amazing Megan Fate Marshman! Megan and I talk about seeing the messy parts of ourselves and how God can use our mess just as much as He can use our gifts (especially if we are open and willing to listen to His nudges).  Two months back, Megan shared at Embrace (the church I pastor) and the response was INSANE. Like unexplainable. So I asked her what has changed in her preaching process and how she uncovers so much wisdom.  She also shared how she’s gained an eternal perspective through grieving the loss of her husband. A perspective shift that has obviously changed her. I hope this message leaves you feeling challenged and inspired!  Grab a copy of Megan’s book Relaxed.

In today’s episode, I had the joy of interviewing the dynamic mother-daughter duo: Allie (Cooney) & Sandra Stanley.  Being in the same family as influential pastor Andy Stanley, founder of North Point Church, Allie talks about the unique experiences, expectations and lessons learned from growing up in a family defined by faith, leadership and public attention. Allie, now married with a daughter of her own, has written a book with her mom exploring the dynamics of mother-daughter relationships. During our time together, they share heartfelt stories, practical advice, and offer a glimpse into what it was like being raised in an environment where Christian principles are not just taught, but lived. Allie drills down into why she still loves the church and has chosen to stay when so many others - especially pastor’s kids - have walked away.
