The Christian Leader Made Simple Show

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.

  These Compulsive Mental Habits Fuel Burnout in Pastors | Devin Akers

  Aug 17, 20261h 4m

  What's subtly wearing you out? Free self-assessment for ministry leaders: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Join Christian Leader® Community Coaching: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching Most leaders don't lose their peace in one dramatic moment. They lose it one habit at a time, the way they scroll, the way they say yes when they mean no, the way they treat hard emotions like the enemy instead of a signal. Devin Akers has a rare seat to speak into this. He's a pastor and licensed counselor, currently serving as Senior Pastor of Covenant Life and Stello Church in the Raleigh-Durham area, and after over a decade in ministry he went back to school to get his clinical counseling license. In this episode, Devin and Ryan talk about the subtle habits robbing leaders of their peace, what it took to pursue counseling training while still leading a church full time, and what he's learned sitting on both sides of the room, the pulpit and the counseling chair. If you've felt exhausted and can't quite name why, this conversation will help.

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: Ryan Franklin explains the often-overlooked concept of spiritual risk—the danger of a leader's relationship with God quietly weakening while their leadership continues to succeed outwardly. He describes how spiritual drift develops gradually, identifies three early warning signs, and emphasizes the importance of staying connected to God's wisdom. Ryan concludes by pointing to King Solomon's life as a biblical example of what unchecked spiritual drift can ultimately become.

  Short Clip: The Leadership Lesson Pastors Miss in the Nehemiah Story | Chad Parker

  Aug 10, 202611 min

  Link to the full podcast: https://youtu.be/Vm5CkstyloU?si=7mzWuzi-qtGWSE8e 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: Chad Parker uses the examples of Nehemiah, Joseph, Daniel, and Jesus to illustrate that effective leadership moves beyond recognizing needs to taking organized, intentional action. He emphasizes that spiritual burdens should lead to planning, collaboration, and sustainable solutions. While acknowledging concerns that community involvement can distract churches from their spiritual mission, Parker argues that churches should remain firmly rooted in the gospel while also caring for people's physical and social needs. He concludes that true ministry addresses the whole person, combining biblical truth with compassionate action.

  Short Clip: Why Growth Would Break Most Churches | Adam Shaw

  Aug 6, 20268 min

  Link to the full podcast: https://youtu.be/S7dYjsbb9o4?si=vLPS2JUevBGWyrih 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: Adam Shaw explains that increasing leadership capacity begins with honest self-assessment and identifying the "jars" (skills, character traits, and competencies) missing from one's life. He encourages seeking feedback from trusted people, learning from mentors, and intentionally developing areas such as discipline, technical ability, theology, relationships, and time management. Shaw emphasizes that every new level of responsibility requires greater personal capacity, and he illustrates this by describing how his church proactively prepared its leaders and systems to sustainably handle future growth rather than being overwhelmed by it.

  The Christian Leader Made Simple Show

  What Does It Actually Mean to Walk in the Spirit? | Pastor Cortt Chavis

  Aug 3, 20261h 9m

  What's subtly wearing you out? Free self-assessment for ministry leaders: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Join Christian Leader® Community Coaching: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching Pastor Cortt Chavis has preached across the country, served in combat, and planted a thriving church in Loganville, Georgia. He has seen God move in remarkable ways. But the thing he keeps coming back to is this: walking in the Spirit is less about chasing supernatural moments and more about daily faithfulness. In this episode, Ryan sits down with Cortt for a conversation about what Spirit-filled living actually looks like for leaders in the real world. If you've been waiting for a feeling, chasing an experience, or wondering why your spiritual life feels more like a performance than a reality, this conversation is for you. It's time to stop overcomplicating it and start walking.
