SALLT Leadership Podcast

Welcome to the SALLT Leadership Podcast. Real people, real conversations, and a shared mission to lead and love our cities well. Cities don't change because of one person. They change when everyone steps in to lead. In your home, in your work, in your community, and in your city, you have influence. And this podcast is here to fuel that calling. In Part 1 of this conversation between Wes Lane and Tim McCoy, Tim  shares an inspirational story about his journey to law school that will inspire us all to pursue the promise God gives you, even through the toughest obstacles!

Season 1 is in the books, and before Season 2 kicks off in October, we're going back through everything our guests said on the questions that mattered most. First up: Hearing God. Not the theory of it. The practice. What it actually sounds like on a Tuesday, in a squad car, in the middle of a decision you can't undo. Our guests this season came at it from wildly different places; policing, business, ministry, city-level problem solving; and landed in a strikingly similar spot: God still speaks, most of us have never learned to listen, and the ones who hear him best are the ones who treat it like a skill instead of a spiritual gift they either got or didn't. You'll hear why every act of innovation begins with a question. What happens when a patrol officer stops asking how to end a domestic dispute and starts asking what Jesus would say to the couple in front of him. Why God hides things, and why that's good news. How to tell your own voice from his. What to do when you get it wrong. And 3 practical guard rails for testing whether the thing you're hearing is really him.

Our previous episode with Jantzen Miller was so powerful, we had to release a Part 2! This conversation goes deep into prayer, trusting God and what that looks like for us in our areas of influence in the marketplace. If you missed Part 1, follow the link to LISTEN or WATCH

In this episode, Gary Brooks shares what the Lord has taught him through his journey as a successful real estate developer, and specifically, the renovation of the First National Center in Oklahoma City. Renovating the First National Center was a presumably, impossible project that Gary shares was a prop for what the Lord wanted to do in him, more than it was about the building itself. We get to listen in and learn all the rich nuggets Gary learned, like living with holy expectation and the importance of stewarding God's spoken Word well. Gary also shares that the First National Center was a starting point for what the Lord has invited him to step into next, and encourages us to look for and lean into our "First National."

What if the problems we face aren't meant to be solved through formulas and strategies, but through intimate conversation with God? This conversation challenges us to reconsider how we approach problem-solving in our daily lives. We discover that true innovation begins not with action, but with contemplation, asking God questions and waiting for His answers.    Click here to order Jamie's book, War of the Worldviews
