About Leadership Spot Check

Two friends. Twenty years of ministry. From youth pastors to Navy chaplains, we’ve shared life, leadership, and faith through every season. This podcast is our space to talk about character that lasts, leadership that serves, and spirituality that sustains. Along the way, we’ll swap stories from the pulpit and the fleet, mix in some laughter, and wrestle with what it means to live with integrity and purpose. If you’re hungry for honest, hope-filled conversations, you’re in the right place.
