About Fierce Leadership Podcast

Too often, Christian leaders adopt leadership principles the world applauds and import them straight into the church—without stopping to ask to what degree they align with Scripture. Over time, that disconnects leadership from the truth of God’s Word. The Bible Leadership Podcast exists to reverse that flow. We start with leadership principles drawn from the Bible and apply them to real life—church, work, and everything in between. Our mission is simple: connect your Bible to your leadership, and your leadership back to your Bible.

   Ep 82: The Siren Song Of Being Awesome | Lessons from LeaderLab

   If your leadership only “works” when people approve of you, you’re not just tired, you’re being discipled by the wrong story.

Using insights from Pete Scazzero’s *Emotionally Healthy Discipleship*, we unpack four subtle traps that can Americanize Jesus: be popular, b...

   Ep 80: Optimism Without Guardrails Gets You Spanked | Lessons from LeaderLab

   A lot of leadership pain doesn’t come from a lack of skill. It comes from a gap in character that stays hidden until it crashes into real life: criticism you didn’t expect, a public mistake you can’t undo, an emotional blowup, or a relationship you didn’t mean to strain. Mark and Erica pull back the curtain on those moments and ask the deeper question Christian leaders often miss: what is God actually trying to train in us right now? We dig into a challenging idea from LeaderLab at Fierce Ch...

Published 27 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] A little riff on that illustration. So I can remember being in the gym one day. I was on a really low carb diet for a long time. And I was like, yes, because I'm like, you know, shredding up or thinning up. But I got to the point where I could feel it in my body. I have no carbs to do anything. There's nothing sustaining. I'm trying to like I'm out of breath super quickly just because there's no fuel in the tank. Yeah. You're trying to do something cool, but you're actually doing damage.
