  Jay Kim - When Pastors Stop Paying Attention - 233 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

  Sep 29, 202638 minS7

  Pastor and author Jay Kim explores how the demands of ministry can leave us attentive to everyone else while increasingly disconnected from what is happening within our own spiritual lives. Pastors spend much of their lives tending to the needs, questions, and spiritual lives of others. But what happens when caring for so many others leaves us increasingly inattentive to what is happening within us? In this conversation on FrontStage BackStage, pastor and author Jay Kim joins host Jason Daye to explore the gift of living an examined life. Ministry gives us plenty of legitimate demands on our attention. Sermons need preparing, people need caring for, decisions need making, and unexpected situations constantly require a response. Over time, however, we can become so accustomed to responding to what is around us that we lose awareness of what is happening in our own souls and even of God's presence with us in the midst of it all. Jay is the lead pastor of WestGate Church in Silicon Valley, host of The Digital Examen podcast, and author of several books, including his newest, The Pace of Peace. Drawing from his own experience and the ancient practice of the Examen, Jay invites ministry leaders to consider how the pace and patterns of our lives are forming us. Together, they discuss: Why pastors can become highly attentive to everyone else while losing awareness of what is happening in their own spiritual lives What the constant demands of ministry may be doing to our capacity for presence, attention, and life with God How to recognize when faithful responsiveness in ministry has quietly turned into reactivity What an examined life can reveal about the pressures, patterns, and motivations shaping us beneath the surface Why pastors may know the language of spiritual maturity while still struggling to see clearly what is happening within themselves How the Examen can help ministry leaders move beyond hurried self-awareness toward deeper reflection, honesty, and attentiveness to God If you are a pastor or ministry leader who spends much of your life attending to the needs, questions, and spiritual lives of others, this conversation offers an invitation to notice your own life again. Not as an exercise in self-focus, but as a way of becoming more present to God, more honest about what is happening within you, and more attentive to the person you are being formed to become.

  When Good Intentions Take Control - Lysa TerKeurst - 232 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

  Sep 22, 202642 minS7

  New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst joins Jason Daye to help pastors and ministry leaders recognize when good intentions, responsibility, and care can quietly turn into control. Can good intentions quietly become control in ministry? New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst joins Jason Daye to help pastors and ministry leaders examine the line between faithful responsibility and trying to manage outcomes that ultimately belong to God. Ministry leaders often want genuinely good things. We want people to grow, churches to flourish, relationships to heal, wise decisions to be made, and our ministries to bear meaningful fruit. But what happens when our conviction that something good should happen begins making us feel responsible for ensuring that it does? Lysa is president and chief visionary officer of Proverbs 31 Ministries and the author of eight New York Times bestsellers. Her newest book, Making Peace with What I Can’t Control, explores the exhaustion that comes from overthinking, trying to change others, and carrying responsibility for things beyond our control. In this conversation, Lysa and Jason explore why capable, caring leaders can struggle to recognize control in themselves, why releasing people may sometimes be easier than releasing outcomes, and the provocative lesson Lysa draws from Judas, who may have become so convinced of the outcome he believed was right that he tried to move Jesus toward it. Together they discuss: Why the leaders who care the most may be the least likely to recognize control in themselves What happens when helping someone becomes needing them to change Why surrendering people may be easier than surrendering what happens next What Judas may reveal about trying to move God toward an outcome we believe is right How a genuinely good desire can become something we were never meant to carry What may be hiding beneath the exhaustion of feeling responsible for everything If you are a pastor or ministry leader who feels deeply responsible for people, decisions, and what happens next, this conversation offers an important invitation to examine where faithfulness ends and control begins. We can care deeply, lead responsibly, and pursue what is good without assuming responsibility for outcomes that ultimately belong to God. Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

  Is Your Ministry Bearing Fruit? - Patrick Lencioni - 230 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

  Sep 8, 202643 minS7

  Leadership and organizational health expert Patrick Lencioni joins Jason Daye to explore how pastors can discern genuine ministry fruit, resist the pressure to chase growth, and build healthy teams rooted in humility, trust, and dependence on God. How do you know if your ministry is actually bearing fruit? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, leadership and organizational health expert Patrick Lencioni joins host Jason Daye to explore how pastors and ministry leaders can think differently about growth, effectiveness, healthy teams, and faithfulness to God. Those of us in ministry want to see lives changed and people drawn closer to Jesus. But that good desire can quietly become a pursuit of growth, scale, numbers, or visible impact. And because those outcomes are often easier to quantify, they can begin shaping how we understand our own effectiveness, leaving us encouraged by apparent progress or discouraged when the numbers don't reflect what we hoped to see. Patrick challenges us to examine what we are actually chasing and to consider the difference between the outcomes we can easily quantify and the genuine fruit God produces through faithful ministry. Patrick is the founder and president of The Table Group and the author of thirteen books that have sold more than ten million copies worldwide, including The Five Dysfunctions of a Team , The Advantage , and The Motive . Drawing from decades of work with leaders and organizations, as well as his own faith, Patrick also shares why the health of the teams carrying out our ministry matters deeply. Together they discuss: Why ministry growth and measurable outcomes are not necessarily the same as genuine fruit How pastors can evaluate ministry effectiveness without becoming driven by metrics What may be hiding beneath our desire to grow and scale a ministry Why humility and vulnerability are so essential to building healthy ministry teams The key action leaders can take to help their teams experience greater vulnerability and trust Why even the healthiest leaders and teams never outgrow their dependence on God If you're a pastor or ministry leader wondering how to faithfully evaluate whether your ministry is making a difference, this conversation offers a thoughtful way forward. Fruit matters. Team health matters. Effectiveness matters. But none of these require us to manufacture outcomes God never asked us to control. We can pursue healthy, effective ministry while remaining faithful to what God has called us to do and dependent on Him for the fruit. Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

  Who Are You Becoming While You Lead? - Jen Pollock Michel - 229 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

  Sep 1, 202640 minS7

  Pastors spend so much time thinking about what God has called them to do. But who are we becoming while we do it? Jen Pollock Michel joins Jason Daye to explore the often-unnoticed forces shaping us in ministry and how we can become more intentional about being formed by God. Who are you becoming while you lead? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, award-winning author Jen Pollock Michel joins host Jason Daye to explore how pastors and ministry leaders are being spiritually formed, often without even realizing it. Those of us in ministry spend enormous amounts of energy thinking about what God has called us to do. We lead, disciple, preach, care for people, and respond to the seemingly endless demands of ministry. But in the midst of all that activity, how much attention are we giving to who we are becoming? Jen is a sought-after speaker whose writing has appeared in Christianity Today, The Dispatch, and The Christian Century. She also leads retreats and workshops focused on developing a Rule of Life, and her latest book, *A Rule for the Rest of Us*, explores how we can live more intentionally as we seek to be formed by God. Jen and Jason explore the forces quietly shaping our lives, why spiritual formation can feel frustratingly slow, and how we can resist simply drifting through ministry and life. Together they discuss: Why ministry leaders can become more focused on what we're doing for God than how we're being formed by God Why productivity often feels more satisfying than the slow work of spiritual formation How rest can become an expression of trust in God rather than simply time away from work How individualism, self-protection, and our desire for comfort can quietly shape our lives and churches Why our phones can make us more solitary in community and less capable of genuine solitude How a Rule of Life can help us resist drift and live more intentionally with Jesus If you're a pastor or ministry leader who spends much of your life thinking about the people you're leading and the work God has entrusted to you, this conversation offers an important invitation to consider your own formation. Faithful ministry isn't only about what God is accomplishing through us. It also means paying attention to who God is patiently forming us to become.

  Where Jesus Meets Wounded Leaders - Scott Sauls - 228 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

  Aug 25, 202639 minS7

  Pastors and ministry leaders often carry wounds that shape far more than their ministry. Scott Sauls shares why some of God's deepest work happens not through our strengths and successes, but through our struggles, weaknesses, and dependence on Christ. Pastors and ministry leaders facing ministry hurt, leadership wounds, discouragement, or seasons of suffering will find encouragement in this conversation with Scott Sauls. Together, Scott and host Jason Daye explore why some of God's deepest work often happens not through our strengths and successes, but through our weaknesses, disappointments, and dependence on Christ. In ministry, it can be tempting to push through pain, ignore wounds, and measure our effectiveness by visible outcomes. We often believe the next accomplishment, opportunity, or milestone will bring the fulfillment we long for. Yet many ministry leaders discover that success alone cannot sustain the soul. In this conversation, Scott Sauls and host Jason Daye discuss a different path. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and themes explored in Scott's book The Mercy King, they explore how ministry begins not by giving, but by first receiving from Jesus. They reflect on the reality of ministry hurt, the subtle dangers of defining ourselves by success, and the surprising ways God uses suffering to deepen our wisdom, maturity, and dependence upon Him. Rather than viewing wounds as obstacles to overcome, Scott invites ministry leaders to consider how God often meets us most deeply in the very places we would rather avoid. The struggles we seek to escape may become the places where Christ forms us most profoundly. Together they discuss: Why we cannot give what we have not first received from Jesus How pastors and ministry leaders can navigate hurt and disappointment in ministry The hidden dangers of defining ministry success by influence and accomplishment Why suffering often becomes one of God's greatest tools for growth and wisdom What leaders can learn from Paul's thorn in the flesh How healing and dependence on Christ can deepen ministry effectiveness Why some of God's most transformative work happens through weakness rather than strength If you're a pastor or ministry leader carrying disappointment, ministry hurt, leadership fatigue, or questions about your effectiveness, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder that God often accomplishes His deepest work through weakness rather than strength. Scripture repeatedly reveals that God forms His servants most profoundly through the very struggles they would never choose for themselves. Whether you're navigating ministry wounds, spiritual fatigue, or a difficult season of leadership, you'll discover encouragement to receive from Christ, depend more fully upon Him, and find renewed strength for long-term faithfulness in life and leadership.
