Leadership Moment | Foundational Missions

A broken ice cream machine at McDonald's might seem like a small thing, but it says something about priorities, leadership, and unmet expectations. https://www.fxmissions.com/2021/08/lm0218-bryan-entzminger-ice-cream-machine/ (The Ice Cream Machine at McDonald’s is Broken Again … Why It Matters - LM0218) https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.facebook.com/leadersmoment/posts/3092766097611239 (One Click Facebook Share) https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.fxmissions.com/2021/08/lm0218-bryan-entzminger-ice-cream-machine/&text=Incredible%20leadership%20insights%20in%20this%20@FXMissions%20@LeadersMoment%20podcast%20episode.%20Click%20to%20listen ( One Click Tweet) How many times has this happened to you? You've been heading to a McDonald’s, excited about getting an ice cream cone. You get there, place your order in the Drive-Thru, and then discover that the machine is broken? If that's happened to you, you're not alone. But here's the deal - we ALL create "ice cream machine" exp

The key to true transformational leadership is a willingness to be the first to change, to always be learning and engaging culture, and to invest time in deep relationships with others before ever trying to lead change. This may be one of the most challenging tasks for any leader, because it goes against our nature. But if we don’t do it, our attempts to affect real change will never work. Listen as Scott and Dr. Noah Manyika continue their conversation about transformational leadership. Listen to Discover: The one kind of expectations most likely to put us into an awkward position or make us feel like we’ve been blindsided. When cross-cultural missionaries can assume they’ve dug deep enough into understanding culture and relationships (hint: never). How our expectations can create a great chasm between what we think we’re communicating and what is actually heard and how it’s understood. Why we should prepare as though the unexpected will happen (and why it’s biblical). Why understanding and connecting with

Want to be a transformational leader? Contrary to what many would say, there are no shortcuts. There are no hacks to truly being equipped to lead people into and through transformation – whether personal, community, or other. Listen as Dr. Noah Manyika shares about lifelong learning, the value of learning from other cultures, and some key pitfalls that often crop up. Listen to Discover: How a posture of humility can lead to lifelong learning and growth. How our experience might actually leave us ill-prepared for what we need to do. One thing people often misunderstand about Africa. The danger of viewing regional, or even local culture with a broad lens. How transformational leadership requires that we understand how things are while preparing people for what is actually to come.

We know that God loves us and wants the best for us. But that doesn't mean that things will always be easy, or that we're never at risk of being deceived. Concluding our time with Terance Clark, he and Scott talk about what God has revealed and how many Believers aren't prepared for what's coming next. But that doesn't mean we're without hope. Listen to Discover: Why the saints are weak and what’s causing unbelief. What many of us forget, but we MUST remember – or we will be unpleasantly surprised. What we should focus on. How there’s grace and rest, even in the struggle.

A word from God is powerful. It can sustain. It can direct. It can encourage or give freedom. And, thankfully, we know that God speaks to us in many ways - and continues to do so, even to today. But, as we look across the landscape, it seems like so many Christian leaders say they’re sharing what God has shown them, yet disagree amongst themselves, as though God might be unsure what He’s saying. And we know that God is not a God of confusion. We know it’s important to hear from God. But how can we know that it’s really God’s voice? As we continue the https://www.fxmissions.com/2021/06/terance-clark-shares-a-supernatural-god-encounter-lm0213/ (conversation we started with Terance Clark in the last episode), you’ll discover Why it seems like there’s so much contradiction. What’s often missing in our spiritual disciplines. Whose point of view really matters. Some ways God can enlighten us to how we’re seeing things incorrectly. What happens when we get ahead of what God’s revealed to us. What might need to happe

What does leadership have to do with a supernatural encounter with God? As Terance Clark shares, sometimes it takes these kinds of experiences to get us to set aside our preconceptions, our desire to know and to control, and to lay down the things that preoccupy us. For some, this might be an uncomfortable idea -that we can experience the supernatural. That God might actually bypass our expectations and intervene. However, we have clear biblical examples of God doing just that. And there's no reason that God can't continue to reveal Himself however He wills. Listen to Discover: What reverence and fear of God really means. What can happen when we fail to realize who God REALLY is. What we're often preoccupied with. How God's perspective on leadership is different from our current cultural expectation. How God wants us to share what He's shown or told us.

It seems like everywhere we look, leadership is glorified. It’s important, to be sure, but the real value of leadership is often overlooked while we focus on what seems to be glamorous. https://www.fxmissions.com/2021/05/leadership-development-and-growth-with-michael-pollard-lm0211/ (Michael Pollard) draws from his experience, as well as years of leadership development and training, to share with us what is truly rewarding in leadership. Listen to Discover: What actually provides motivation. How many leaders actually spend their time, and why that’s upside down. Why great leaders often lose great people. What attracts great people. Why Walgreens was able to thrive, while their competitor, Eckerds, did not. And what that means to leaders. No matter where you are in your leadership journey, it’s always great to come back to the fundamentals of excellent leadership.

How do I become a great leader?I’s a common question that many of us ask. And if we think of great leaders, we may think of business, military, political, or spiritual leaders as examples. However, that doesn’t always paint a picture of the path to get there. As Michael Pollard reveals, that path may not always be as linear as we’d like to think. And it is often NOT easy. However, for those called to lead well, there are no shortcuts. Listen to discover: The role mentors played in Michael’s life How Michael’s leadership shifted after he left the military Whether leadership is different in the military The difference between authority that is given and authority that is earned What Michael lives for If you’re interested in growing in your leadership, you’ll benefit greatly from hearing Michael share his story and insights.
