Leading Second Podcast
Brandon Stewart
A monthly podcast to help church leaders thrive in the second chair.
Leading Second exists to equip local churches everywhere to raise up UNCOMMON leaders. In a culture that often celebrates individual achievement and being on top, Leading Second is here to raise up the kind of leaders every pastor would kill to have on the team. Leaders who are all-in, heart and soul for Jesus, His Church, and their team’s mission. In an ever changing world, we have conversations in real-time with pastors and leaders on topics such as church leadership, leading when you’re not in charge, healthy team culture, and how to lead in the second chair.

Season Two Ep. 056 // Brandon Stewart on Should I Transition? | Noah Herrin on Leading While Young
This episode is kind of a two-for-one. We got a great listener question, that Brandon spends some time answering, about transition and knowing when it’s time. We also have a great conversation with Noah Herrin about being a young leader today. We talk through some of the challenges that come along with that, like building credibility and dealing with comparison.

Season Two Ep. 051 // Brandon Stewart on “I Am With You”
October is pastor appreciation month so we thought that we would do an episode on the phrase, “I am with you.” In 1 Samuel 14:7, Jonathan’s armor-bearer tells him, “Go ahead, I’m with you heart and soul.” That attitude and that verse have shaped Leading Second. In this episode, we talk about David’s mighty men and show that they had that very same attitude.

L2 *BONUS Episode // Larry Brey at Team Church Conference
This bonus episode is jam packed with goodness as Larry Brey speaks to the 7 things that may be exhausting your pastor. Giving our best allows our senior leaders the space to be their best as well. Sit back, relax, press play, and make sure you take notes because as Larry says, “if you become so comfortable with their voice that you’re not getting a new revelation writing something down, you are not in the seat that God has called you to be in.”

Season Two Ep. 050 // Colleen Tunis on Leading in the Creative Space
The creative space is a prominent one in churches, and rightfully so. We serve a creative God and the church should be a reflection of that, leading the way in creative spaces. But how do you get your teams to stay sharp and motivated when every single week is a deadline (or often multiple deadlines)?
