The Cory Lee Show

What happens when success no longer satisfies—and you realize there’s more you’re being called to? In this powerful episode of The Cory Lee Show, Cory sits down with Robert DeLaurentiis, known around the world as The Peace Pilot—an aviation circumnavigator, Navy Gulf War veteran, author, philanthropist, and global ambassador for peace. Robert has flown solo across all seven continents, over both poles, through 53 countries, carrying scientific missions for NASA and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography—yet his greatest journey has been an inward one. Robert shares the moment everything shifted: a quiet walk in a park that awakened him to the reality that achievement without awareness can leave you disconnected from purpose. From that moment, he began listening—deeply—and what followed was a life marked by radical obedience, faith-filled risk, and an unwavering commitment to something bigger than himself. Throughout the conversation, Cory and Robert explore: How to recognize when God is stirring something new within you Why silence, stillness, and listening are essential for clarity and direction The connection between faith, persistence, and resilience What endurance—whether in business, life, or extreme adventures—reveals about who we’re becoming Why giving more is often the key to receiving more How failure, suffering, and discomfort shape us for future impact Practical wisdom for getting off the sidelines when fear or finances feel like barriers Robert also recounts harrowing moments from his polar circumnavigation—fuel spraying into the cockpit, life-or-death decisions, and the realization that the mission mattered more than his own safety. These stories become profound metaphors for leadership, sacrifice, and trusting God in uncertainty. This episode is a reminder that you were created for more than comfort, that faith often requires movement, and that the most meaningful breakthroughs happen when we’re willing to listen—and then act. If you’ve ever felt a quiet nudge, wrestled with fear, or questioned whether it’s worth taking the risk…this conversation is for you.CONNECT WITH ROBERT Email: ftlwithrobert@gmail.com Website: FlyingThruLife.com LinkedIn: in/RDelaurentis Check out his movie: https://flyingthrulife.com/peace-pilot-movie/ CONNECT WITH CORY: 🎤For speaking or training requests, email me at: Cory@coryleeleadership.com 📖To grab a copy of my book Champion: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/champion 📖To grab a copy of my book Sinners in the Hands of a Merciful Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/mercifulfather 📖To grab a copy of my book Heart of The Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/heartofthefather 📖To grab a copy of my book Leading with Insight: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/leadingwithinsight    

Welcome to The Cory Lee Show! In this episode, Cory returns after a break and explains how a 40-day “brainwash fast” helped him recognize the constant distractions in daily life. He cut out social media, books, podcasts, and most entertainment, allowing just the Bible and worship music. The aim was to silence outside noise and discover what was really shaping his thoughts and habits. One unexpected benefit was improved sleep, as his mind wasn’t so rushed and overstimulated. Cory and his family also realized how much time they spent just keeping busy—even when it wasn’t necessary. The fast revealed how easy it is to be distracted, and how we often fill downtime with things like social media, trading, or games just to keep our minds occupied. He reflects on the meaning of the word "entertain,” noting it literally means “to hold your mind,” which can often just be a distraction. Cory highlights the importance of evaluating experiences rather than just living them, drawing on biblical examples like Hebrews 12 to encourage listeners to lay aside distractions—anything that pulls attention from their purpose. A key lesson was recognizing that personal worth isn’t defined by constant activity or productivity. During the fast, Cory wrestled with feelings of frustration and worthlessness when he wasn’t busy, realizing how deep-rooted this thinking can be. He encourages listeners to see value in simply being present with God, instead of always “doing.” Several personal stories punctuate the episode, including Cory's experience officiating his first wedding and funeral in the same week. He shares how stepping outside his comfort zone and intentionally connecting with others allowed new opportunities for encouragement and prayer—even when outcomes weren’t what he expected. A powerful takeaway from this season is the call to remove “encumbrances”—even good things that become distractions—so you can stay focused on faith and purpose. Cory shares a vivid dream highlighting how easy it is to become a disengaged follower, distracted by the noise around us instead of seeking God’s presence. He closes by reminding listeners that when God reveals things in our hearts, it’s not for shame, but for healing. Cory encourages you to evaluate your own distractions, lay them down, and return your focus to what matters most.

The Father is Calling You. Are You Listening? In this powerful podcast, our guests share how they learned to shut the doors led by selfish desires—not out of fear, but obedience. They speak deeply about what it means to hear God's voice, surrender control, and truly render your heart before the Lord. 🕊 You’ll be challenged with questions like: ▪️ Are you making room for God—or crowding Him out? ▪️ Are you willing to sacrifice something that’s alive—your comfort, your plans, your flourishing—for something eternal? ▪️ Have you truly recognized the call God is placing on your life right now? This episode is a wake-up call to the apathetic and a reminder that God is pouring out His Spirit on those who are willing to say yes.

Many ministry leaders, pastors, and church planters silently wrestle with this question. The reality is—ministry is a calling, not a comfort zone. If you're leading or preparing to lead, this message is for you. God didn’t promise ease, but He did promise His presence, power, and provision. Watch now and be reminded: you’re not alone. There is purpose in the pressure—and grace for every season. #MinistryLeadership #FaithUnderPressure #ChristianLeadership #ChurchPlanting #PastorStruggles #MinistryGrowth #GodsCalling #SpiritualWarfare #BiblicalLeadership #ObedienceInFaith #KingdomLeadership #ChristianMinistrySupport CONNECT WITH MICHAEL: 📱 https://www.facebook.com/michaelstmps CONNECT WITH CHRIS: 📱 https://www.facebook.com/chris.payne.AWayOut CONNECT WITH CORY: 🎤For speaking or training requests, email me at: Cory@coryleeleadership.com 📖To grab a copy of my book Champion: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/champion 📖To grab a copy of my book Sinners in the Hands of a Merciful Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/mercifulfather 📖To grab a copy of my book Heart of The Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/heartofthefather 📖To grab a copy of my book Leading with Insight: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/leadingwithinsight

This conversation is for anyone who’s been waiting, trusting, and wondering if they’ve been forgotten. The truth is—God’s silence doesn’t mean He’s not with you. The Spirit of the Lord is closer than you think, and His goodness is often revealed in the process, not just the outcome. 🎧 Tap in and be reminded: You’re not alone. You’re just being refined. 📌 Help us find the perfect title for this series—drop your suggestion in the comments below!

We talk a lot about the cross of Jesus Christ—and rightly so. It's where sin was defeated and forgiveness was secured. But what if stopping at the cross means missing out on the power of the resurrection and the gift of the Holy Spirit? In this impactful episode, Chris helps unpack the full Gospel message—from the crucifixion to the resurrection of Jesus and the life-giving outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus didn’t just die… He rose again, and He sent the Holy Spirit so we could walk in power, purpose, and spiritual authority. Too many believers are living saved but not Spirit-filled. If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to the Christian life—you’re absolutely right. 🎧 Listen now as we explore the empty tomb, the risen Christ, and how to live a Spirit-empowered life full of faith, fire, and freedom. #ResurrectionPower #HolySpiritFilled #ChristianPodcast #JesusIsAlive #KingdomLiving #BibleTeaching #ChristianEncouragement #HolySpiritFire #GospelTruth #RisenSavior #LiveWithPurpose #ChristianFaith #discipleshipmatters CONNECT WITH CHRIS: 📱 https://www.facebook.com/chris.payne.AWayOut CONNECT WITH CORY: 🎤For speaking or training requests, email me at: Cory@coryleeleadership.com 📖To grab a copy of my book Champion: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/champion 📖To grab a copy of my book Sinners in the Hands of a Merciful Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/mercifulfather 📖To grab a copy of my book Heart of The Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/heartofthefather 📖To grab a copy of my book Leading with Insight: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/leadingwithinsight 

On Part 2 of the episode with Pastor Evan Mawarire, we continue his gripping story—this time, from inside a prison cell. Stripped of freedom but not of faith, Pastor Evan shares how God used the darkest places to create divine connections. He became a light behind bars—and in turn, those around him became unexpected messengers of hope, strength, and purpose. What was meant to break him only built him. What was meant to silence him only spread the message louder. Because when God calls, He also provides—through people, moments, and miracles you’d never expect. 🎙️ Part 2 is a testimony to how obedience births blessing, even in the unlikeliest of places. 👉 Listen now and be reminded that you are never alone in the fire. #EvanMawarire #DivineConnections #CalledToLead #FaithOverFear   CONNECT WITH EVAN: 📩 EvanMawaz93@gmail.com 🌐 EvanMawarire.org 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/EvanMawarire 📱 https://www.facebook.com/Evan.Mawarire 📷 https://www.instagram.com/PastorEvanLive ❌ https://www.x.com/PastorEvanLive 📖 https://tinyurl.com/5n8cnmsc   CONNECT WITH CORY: 🎤For speaking or training requests, email me at: Cory@coryleeleadership.com 📖To grab a copy of my book Champion: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/champion 📖To grab a copy of my book Sinners in the Hands of a Merciful Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/mercifulfather 📖To grab a copy of my book Heart of The Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/heartofthefather 📖To grab a copy of my book Leading with Insight: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/leadingwithinsight 

On today’s episode of The Cory Lee Show, Cory is joined by a truly remarkable guest—Evan Mawarire, a Zimbabwean pastor, movement builder, and internationally recognized advocate for human rights and democracy. Evan’s heartfelt story takes us on a journey from leading a small church in Harare to becoming the voice behind Zimbabwe’s #ThisFlag movement—a peaceful yet powerful protest that ignited hope and inspired millions to stand against corruption and injustice. Evan shares what it was like to witness his homeland endure political violence, economic collapse, and unimaginable inflation, painting a vivid picture with stories about $100 trillion banknotes only able to buy a loaf of bread. He opens up about the quiet conviction that led him to record a simple, unscripted video—a courageous act that would escalate to nationwide impact, personal sacrifice, and even time spent as a political prisoner. Through moments of fear, uncertainty, and miraculous breakthrough, Evan reveals the real meaning of courage and obedience, reminding us that even the smallest act for the things we care about most can spark epic change. Whether you’re facing your own giants or searching for hope in a difficult season, Evan’s incredible testimony will uplift, encourage, and challenge you to live with boldness. Tune in for part one of this inspiring conversation—trust us, you won’t want to miss what happens next. 🎙️ This is leadership in its rawest form—when obedience to God means stepping into the fire. 👉 Don’t miss Part 1 of this powerful conversation. #EvanMawarire #FaithOverFear #CalledToLead CONNECT WITH EVAN: 📩 EvanMawaz93@gmail.com 🌐 EvanMawarire.org 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/EvanMawarire 📱 https://www.facebook.com/Evan.Mawarire 📷 https://www.instagram.com/PastorEvanLive ❌ https://www.x.com/PastorEvanLive CONNECT WITH CORY: 🎤For speaking or training requests, email me at: Cory@coryleeleadership.com 📖To grab a copy of my book Champion: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/champion 📖To grab a copy of my book Sinners in the Hands of a Merciful Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/mercifulfather 📖To grab a copy of my book Heart of The Father: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/heartofthefather 📖To grab a copy of my book Leading with Insight: https://www.coryleeleadership.com/leadingwithinsight
