The Servant Leadership Podcast brings you empowering insights from successful guest leaders around the world in about 30-60 minutes. Each episode gives you easy-to-understand takeaways you can use to lead yourself and lead your team.
Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast we welcome best selling author and entrepreneur, Jordan Raynor. Jordan spent the first decade of his career as a tech entrepreneur, starting and selling two software companies before he ever wrote a book. Today more than seven million Christians have engaged his work on connecting the gospel to the job they do Monday through Friday. When a mentor told him his work as an entrepreneur was already ministry, Jordan set aside plans to plant a church and built his career around the conviction that the work you do matters deeply to God. Join us as Jordan shares why Jesus spent most of his adult life swinging a hammer instead of preaching, why the ministry of excellence comes before the ministry of the gospel, and the template he uses to say no without damaging the relationship.

The Softer Side of Leadership with Gene Habecker
Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast we welcome Gene Habecker, author and former president of Taylor University and the American Bible Society. Gene led Taylor for eleven years and Huntington University for a decade before that. At the American Bible Society he chaired a global operation working in more than 150 countries, and he's the author of books like Rediscovering the Soul of Leadership and The Softer Side of Leadership. Gene shares how he keeps a group of people he calls trusted truth tellers, people he has invited into his life specifically to tell him what he can't see about himself. Join us as Gene and I talk through the real difference between leadership and servant leadership, what he calls your personal trust account and how leaders make deposits and withdrawals from it, and why practicing presence with people matters more than most leaders realize.
