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. 037 // Millennials in Ministry - Leading in a Digital World
In this episode, we continue our series on Millennials in Ministry. In this episode we are joined by Nicole Smithee, PacehHartfield, & Anna Morgan for a challenging discussion on leading in today’s digital world. Social media has allowed comparison and inauthenticity to become a pandemic of the Millennial and Z generations. We can admire and honor what other people bring to the table, but there is a difference between admiring and mimicking them and then missing out on who you were created to be. Don’t miss this episode. If you’re a leader in today’s digital world, this one is for you.

Season Two Ep. 036 // Millennials in Ministry - Dan Lord and Jimn Kyles on Honoring Authority
Authority issues are everywhere in our culture, but the Bible calls us to be people who submit to authority and…. honor authority. I’m joined today by not only one, but two pastors who I highly respect. Dan Lord and Jimn Kyles both carry so much weight and wisdom on the topic of honoring authority. Join us as we shed light on a topic that I believe is very misunderstood right now.

Season Two Ep. 035 // Millennials in Ministry - Chandler Boyce on Leading in an Entitlement Culture
Entitled. Narcissistic. Lazy. Selfies. Addicted to social media.
If you’ve heard any of these words spoken over this generation called "Millennials" and it bothers you, then today’s conversation is for you
We’re going to talk with Chandler Boyce about Leading in an Entitlement Culture. Entitlement is everywhere in our culture today. And while I don’t believe every young leader today is entitled, I do believe it is a topic our generation is wrestling with.
