The Stetzer ChurchLeaders Podcast

Jonathan "JP" Pokluda leads The Porch, an influential young adult gathering of more than 3,500 in Texas. He joins ChurchLeaders to talk about mobilizing Millennials in the church. 

Natasha Sistrunk Robinson served in the military before devoting herself to ministry. Her experience in military service taught her key principles of leadership and mentoring, which informed her approach to discipling in the church. In our interview, Natasha discusses how church leaders can approach discipleship, what we learn from Moses' life and leadership, and how the church can be on mission for God. 

Gavin Rogers wasn't trying to make a political statement when he traveled to Mexico to join the migrant caravan. For Rogers, this was all in a day's pastoral work. 

Lysa Terkeurst discusses leading through difficult personal times. In a relatively short period of time, Lysa experienced a major blow to her marriage and two life-threatening illnesses. What God taught her during that time likely won't make it onto a bumper sticker or cute Christian cliche. 

Bryan Loritts discusses how the white church and the black church can start doing life together. 

Alan Briggs discusses ways pastors and church leaders can move from feeling as if everything in the church rises and falls with themselves and into a place where God is in control of the church they shepherd. 

When Pastor Corey Nelson took over the pastorate of a new church in a dangerous neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, he never intended to start a church for kids. But it turned out that is exactly what God had in mind for that neighborhood. 

"Cynicism is subtle, but it's identifiable because it means, ultimately, the loss of hope," Carey Nieuwhof explains. Join us as he discusses how leaders can shake off cynicism and regain their positive outlook on the future. 

Ed Stetzer speaks to pastors trying to lead people during a particularly divisive time. It seems whatever the issue, people are split along tribal lines, political parties, and theological schools of thought. It's more important now than ever that leaders are contributing positively to constructive conversation while also knowing when it is best to say nothing. 

Craig Groeschel discusses pastoring in the age of #metoo, pastoring people through seasons of hardship and doubt, and allowing yourself to not have all the answers.
