On today's bonus episode, we're taking a break from our summer series to tackle a crucial topic that our team has been focusing on and you should too.  On todays episode, Alan looks at this idea of income vs. impact and why paying attention to both is important as a leader. He gets super practical and discusses why certain seasons may call you to focus less on pursuing greater income for a time in order to invest into those you lead so that they have a greater impact in their roles, lives, and leadership which creates a healthier team, organization, and can lead to even more income. 

Deep work and creative blocks are important to your health and sustainability both in your personal life and your leadership.  Many of us struggle to cultivate these spaces miss out on tremendous opportunities as a result.  On today's episode of our Re; series, Alan and Jonathan are going to dive into the importance of rediscovering deep work and creative blocks, and how to implement them into our regular rhythms. 

We hope you're enjoying our summer RE: podcast series. Each week we're bringing you on a guded journey to reinvest, rediscover, and reimagine your life and leadership so that you can continue to get healthy and reach sustainable impact. On today's BONUS episode, Alan has a great conversation with pastor author, and podcaster Jon Peacock about his new book Giant Killer; Winning The Battles That Matter Most.  About Jon In 2010 a few friends and I set out on the journey to plant what is known today as Mission Church. The journey of leading and learning is one I want to continue for the rest of my life. From starting with 20 friends in my living room to now leading thousands, we’ve come a long way but we still have miles to go. I spend most of my time raising daughters, loving my wife, walking my dog, encouraging our staff, envisioning our people, and cooking for my neighbors on my Big Green Egg. I’m a regular guy who’s been captivated by a Redefining Church vision. I know where God has called me to go and stay; the neighborhood. I have the joy of leading alongside my bestie, Tommy Bowman. Check out his website to learn a whole lot more about what we mean by “redefining church”. Join me as I join Jesus on the greatest adventure of a lifetime..."next door as it is in Heaven".

Once a month we host coaching calls for high capacity leaders in our Right Side Up Collective, a private community of like minded investing in their leadership in a way you wont find anywhere else.  This months coaching call featured leadership and anxiety expert Steve Cuss. Steve unpacked the common types of anxiety leaders often carry, how to identify them in yourself and others, and how to take steps to reducing the anxiety we carry.  This conversation is ripe with application and we wanted to share it with our podcast listeners.  About Steve   I cut my teeth on leadership anxiety when I served as a chaplain at a level one trauma hospital. The hospital sent us into every conceivable human experience and we had nothing but our wits and the presence of God to get us through. In that baptism of fire, I learned how to pay attention to what was going on under the surface of my own life, and also the dynamics between family members. I was steeped in family systems theory and then later studied cybernetics in graduate school. My unique experience and training deepened my leadership capacity to mange anxiety and notice it in groups. Since 2005, I have served as Lead Pastor of Discovery Christian Church in Broomfield, Colorado, an innovative and entrepreneurial church that has grown from 150 to more than 1000 in weekly attendance. The church intentionally welcomes spiritual seekers and skeptics and is passionate about partnerships that break the local and global poverty cycle. I have also served at a mega church in Las Vegas, on a ranch for teens struggling with life issues, and as a youth minister in the Appalachian region. I was privileged to grow up in Perth, Western Australia, in an adventurous family of origin. After moving to the United States for theological study, I married Lisa and together we have two sons and a daughter, in whom I take great delight. When I am not working, you can find me laughing with my family, knee-deep in a trout stream, or trying a guitar I cannot afford at a local music store.
