  • The Power (and Potential Danger) of Leadership Assessments

    The Power (and Potential Danger) of Leadership Assessments
    Mar 25 2026

    In this episode of the Tim Ahlman Podcast, Tim sits down with Jordan Boessling to unpack the power—and potential danger—of leadership assessments like StrengthsFinder, Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, and Working Genius.

    They explore how tools designed to help leaders grow can sometimes lead to overthinking, comparison, and misplaced identity. But when used properly, these assessments can unlock deeper self-awareness, stronger teams, and more effective ministry.

    This conversation dives into emotional intelligence, adaptive leadership, and the tension between knowing yourself and finding your identity in Christ. If you’ve ever taken a personality test—or questioned whether you should—this episode will challenge and sharpen your perspective.

    Ultimately, it’s not just about knowing yourself… it’s about knowing who you are in Jesus.

  • Stop Growing Churches. Start Making Disciples. | Peyton Jones

    Stop Growing Churches. Start Making Disciples. | Peyton Jones
    Mar 18 2026

    Many churches today are focused on growth, strategy, and multiplication—but what if we’ve missed the most important part of Jesus’ method?

    In this episode, Tim Ahlman sits down with church planter and author Peyton Jones to talk about his new book Discipology and why the church must rediscover the simple rhythms of disciple making.

    Get Peyton's new book: Discipology: The Art and Science of Making Disciples

    They explore the difference between mobilization and multiplication, why most Christians have never been discipled, and how Jesus actually trained the first disciples to change the world.

    The conversation also dives into the future of the church, why smaller relational communities are rising, and how everyday believers can be equipped to live out the Great Commission in normal life.

    If you care about the future of the church and want to see believers mobilized for mission, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

    Join the LCMS Current! (Challenges/Opportunities shaping the LCMS)
    https://www.uniteleadership.org/thelcmscurrent

    In this episode, Pastor Tim Ahlman talks with Lutheran educator Chad Janetzke about what today’s students are really searching for spiritually. After nearly 20 years teaching theology at a Lutheran high school, Chad shares what he’s seeing firsthand from Gen Z: a deep hunger for authenticity, meaningful relationships, and a faith that speaks to real life.

    They discuss the biggest cultural questions students are asking today—including mental health, identity, politics, and relationships—and how the Church can faithfully respond with both truth and compassion.

    You’ll also learn a simple four-question framework Chad teaches his students to help them read the Bible and discover Christ throughout Scripture.

    If you’re a parent, pastor, teacher, or church leader wondering how to reach the next generation, this conversation is packed with insight and encouragement.
