144. Stuck In A Rut
Are you stuck in a rut? Have you ever wondered, “why do I work?” “how do I increase my cultural influence?” or “what does it mean to be a good leader?” Today’s podcast guest, New Zealander Bryce Taylor, asked these same questions, and they changed everything.
Bryce Taylor was serving as the Discipleship and Leadership Development Pastor to young adults in a Pennsylvania ministry called The Livingroom. There he spent his Tuesday nights discussing challenging faith topics and running a program that developed leadership skills and leadership qualities in youth. Then in 2018, Bryce and his family took a trip to New Zealand where, after some self-evaluation, he began to wonder if his ministry was stuck inside the box.
Tune in to hear the incredible testimony of how God’s purpose and will for the Taylors went from pastoral to agricultural with a mission. Today, Bryce still does ministry, leadership development, discipleship, and coaching… but it looks a little different.

139. Does Title = Impact?
Who would you say has the most significant impact on your workplace culture? Is it your manager or leadership? Is it your HR? Or is it someone else? Today, we are talking with author and psychologist Dr. Paul White about how you can increase your impact and become a positive cultural influence in your workplace TODAY!
As a Psychologist, Dr. Paul White is more about the practical than the theoretical. His first book, The Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, is all about training up leaders and colleagues that prioritize encouragement and appreciation in the work environment. This book aims to reform the standard employee recognition programs that only use “employee of the month” or “commissions” into customizable, consistent messages of appreciation for each employee, ultimately creating a sense of purpose in work.
His next book, Rising Above a Toxic Workplace, describes what unhealthy work environments look like, how to survive them, and how to address the issues in a healthy way. Finally, Dr. White wrote, The Vibrant Workplace, which talks about creating and developing a more positive workplace from the bottom-up!
Tune in to this power-packed broadcast to hear more about how you can help create a culture of employee appreciation in the workplace!

137. WHO’s Leading YOUR Leadership?
WHO’s leading YOUR leadership? Today we hear from Cal Zant, the President of Betenbough Homes, and Jeanna Roach about what it takes to lead a true Kingdom Business and how their business mindsets were transformed by the Holy Spirit. Tune in to this power-packed powerpod find out how you can develop the same qualities of a good leader in yourself and others!
Years ago, when Cal interviewed for an engineer position with Betenbough Homes, he knew something was different about the company. Jeanna says she had the same experience when she interviewed for a PR representative position. Both Cal and Jeanna felt instantly that the environment, the attitude, the values, and the mission at Betenbough Homes cultivated employee appreciation, purpose in work, and a culture of joy. Simply put – Batenbough Homes genuinely cared about its people.
How did they do it? By looking at their business as a Christian ministry – not just a business that supports Christian ministry. According to Cal, all the true qualities a good leader should have, begin with being a good follower of God. By listening to God’s voice in their business and loving their employees in their everyday lives, Betenbough Homes has created a powerful example of a biznistry.
For more information about leadership resources that you can use to help turn your business into a biznistry - listen to today’s show and check out Kingdom Leadership Workshops.
