About The Clarence Stowers Leadership Podcast

Still Standing is for the one everyone leans on and nobody checks on. Each episode names a weight you've been carrying without saying it out loud: the grief you never finished, the yes you can't take back, the role you outgrew but still show up for. Then I help you decide what to put down and what to keep. No hype. No sermon. Straight talk from someone still standing after thirty years of carrying other people's worst days. About the host Clarence E. Stowers, Jr. is Senior Pastor of Mars Hill Anywhere and the writer behind The Second Act. For thirty years, he has been the one people call when their life falls apart, while carrying losses of his own: the death of his firstborn son, the death of his father, and a church transition that cost him relationships he thought were permanent. His work explores what carrying everyone else actually costs, and how to let go of what was never yours without dropping what is. He writes every Tuesday at clarencestowers.substack.com and teaches from one conviction: Survival is a credential.

   Six months of work. Handed to someone else in one sentence, in a glass conference room, on an ordinary afternoon. You did not yell. You nodded, said congratulations, and then spent three nights running the conversation back, looking for the line that would have changed the ending. There is no line. And the search itself is the thing costing you. What You'll Learn: ⓵ The four-second swap where "I wanted this" quietly becomes "I was owed this," and the single phrase that tells you it already ha...

   Answering Everybody Is Costing You The Work

   You are not slow. You are not scattered. You are interrupted, over and over, by people who already knew you would answer before they ever asked. This episode gives you the reason the asks come to you and not to the person sitting next to you, and the one sentence that retrains it. What You'll Learn: ⓵ Why the ask always lands on you and never on the person three feet away. Nobody assigned you that role. You applied for it.⓶ Your kindness is not the problem. Your response time is, and the fast...

   Overturn The Verdict You Gave Yourself

   Two weeks ago I told you that you are not unready; you are unmoved. That was for the delay you are causing. This one is for the delay you did not cause. At 2 am, when the house is quiet, you run the math again. You stayed. You kept building when the results did not match the effort. You did not blow up your marriage, torch the business, or walk out on the calling. You just waited longer than you thought you would have to. And somewhere in that waiting you did something quietly devastating: yo...
