Many leaders are searching for clarity in a very confusing world. Their lives are chaotic and they struggle with their effectiveness, and as a result, they don’t enjoy leadership as much as they could. I provide a framework called The Christian Leader Blueprint that helps leaders learn and master the biblical skills needed to improve their leadership health and effectiveness. It helps a person gain a better rhythm of life, see themselves more clearly, leverage their strengths, and produce more productive relationships. You can download The Christian Leader Blueprint - Short Guide for free today at www.ryanfranklin.org.

    Description:
    Featuring Liv Hill, this conversation reframes wellness for pastors and leaders as more than diet and workouts—it’s about whole-body stewardship. Liv highlights sleep disruption, stress, digestion issues, and loss of hunger cues as early warning signs of unsustainable rhythms. She challenges the “it’s selfish” mindset, suggesting overwhelm—not lack of care—is often the real barrier. Emphasizing longevity and quality of life, she warns that ignoring these signals can cost leaders their health, family engagement, and even ministry effectiveness, urging small, practical steps toward sustainable, life-giving habits.

  • Short Clip: You’ll Never Survive Leadership If You Take Rejection Personally | Scott Sistrunk
    Mar 23 2026

    Link to the full podcast:
    https://youtu.be/rxzh4veu8xQ?si=X5d1H9kjbUKxSFDx

    You’re still showing up. But are you leading with clarity — or just holding it together? Take 15 minutes to reflect with the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment — a simple tool to help you see what’s really working... and what’s quietly wearing you out. It’s free!

    https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment

    Description:
    Scott Sistrunk explains that healthy leaders survive rejection by anchoring themselves in clear, biblical principles rather than ego. Rejection tied to personal pride or unmet expectations can become toxic, but rejection for standing on conviction brings peace—even when it hurts. He emphasizes knowing what you truly believe, distinguishing eternal doctrine from tradition, and refusing to compromise core convictions. Leaders who endure well examine their motives: Are they wounded out of love for souls or from a bruised ego? Principle-centered leadership, not pride, sustains long-term ministry.

    https://youtu.be/qYRTDeyJJS0?si=VXWCqhTo_F60RM6i

    Description:
    Charles and Stacey Robinette share how intentional closeness—physical, emotional, and relational—helped move their marriage from simply surviving to leading with purpose. They emphasize staying connected through quality time, honesty, shared rhythms like reading together, and daily communication. By honoring each other’s love languages, respecting differences, laughing often, and being fair with one another, they show how small, consistent habits can strengthen a marriage and keep it healthy, joyful, and led with intention.
