EP15: LEADERSHIP: Becoming The Leader You Would Follow

<p>In 21st Century America, finding a Leader who lives to Serve seems near impossible. Humility? Leading with Hope instead of Fear? Good Luck. Yet today, I am stoked that I am Co-hosting with such a leader, one of my Mentors for the past 20 years, Dr. Warren Leslie Heckman. Dr. Warren has modeled authentic Leadership for 65 years. At 86, he remains energetic, fun, humorous, and chill! In this episode, he vulnerably shares how he - as the patriarch of his growing family - continues to lead them through the tragic loss of one his daughters. He reveals - with humility - insightful nuggets about navigating the twists and turns of his life as a successful and respected leader. A leader I would follow. </p> <p><br></p>

EP14: LIFE BALANCE: Husband, Father, Career, and the Man in the Mirror.

Marine Major Cameron Allen Hubbard, a part of My Circle since 2008, joins me as we talk about keeping your sanity while juggling marriage, parenting, career, and learning to love yourself. Cameron makes it real about: Dating, getting married, and immediately getting deployed; The most important act he does as a husband; His best advice for young husbands; How being a new dad wasn’t really that much fun – “kinda lame;” Coping when one child was much more difficult than the other; How he helped his wife during severe post-partum blues; His best advice for young fathers; Getting through a miscarriage The challenges of being an introvert while being a Major in the military; And, how He Overcame The Big Three – Self Loathing, Isolation, and Sexual Shame. Cameron, who earned his Masters in Applied Communications, candidly addresses how growing up in the purity culture affected his outlook on sexual feelings and masturbation.  We talk about pushing porn back, and using (porn free) masturbation in marriage as a tool to help strengthen the marriage, not hinder it. We even hit on ways to have sexy interactions with your spouse when you are apart, on business trips, or deployed. Finally, he shares tips for taking care of yourself, and loving yourself:  The Man in the Mirror.  I know you will find what Cameron shares to be relevant, insightful and helpful. This dialogue will resonate with young husbands, fathers, and husbands and fathers to be.

EP13: SEXUALITY :: LGBTQ in an Evangelical World

** Disclaimer ** The Topics of Sexuality and Suicide are Discussed in this Episode ** Twenty One Percent of Gen Z's now identify as part of the LGBTQ community.  Meaning, that if you interact with 5 Gen Z's today, it is possible that one of them is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Queer.  Even in the 21st century, much debate still exists in the evangelical Christian community about the responses given, and actions extended to an LGBTG person - to the point that denominations split over the debate. Can an LGBTG individual serve in the church?  Are they even welcome in the church?  What does "welcome" really mean?  If so, can they volunteer at the VBS sign up table, but not in the room with kids?  Can they sing in the choir, but not direct the choir?  And of course, are they going to heaven or hell?  The enormous pressure of rejection, whether silent or outright, often felt by a person who identifies as LGBTQ, brings about fear, perceived shame, anxiety, self loathing and self hatred, especially for those like my Co-host, who begged God in their childhood and adolescence, to make them straight.  LGBTQ youth are four times more likely to seriously consider suicide, to make a plan for suicide, and to attempt suicide versus their peers (Johns et al., 2019; Johns et al., 2020). The Trevor Project estimates that at least one LGBTQ youth between the ages of 13–24 attempts suicide every 45 seconds in the U.S.  The point of this Episode is not to debate whether an LGBTQ person is "living in sin" or "going to heaven or hell."  Instead, we explore what daily life is like for a gay young, talented, professional in his 30's, wanting to be a part of the evangelical church in the Bible Belt.  Have you befriended anyone who is LGBTQ?  Do long held myths and fears separate you?  Would you invite a member of the LGBTQ community to sit with you at church?  Invite them for a meal in a restaurant in your community?  Can a gay man walk in peace with God?  Can a gay man worship God? Join my myself and my co-host, real estate professional, Devin Robert Mueller, as he makes it real about his personal journey as a gay man in an evangelical world.
