This episode of the Leadership Momentum Podcast finds host Chris Brown speaking with three guests who are leading their congregations and their teams toward healthier churches and more robust ministries. First, Chris talks with Brady Boyd, senior pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Brady is the author of five books, including “Addicted to Busy: Recovery for the Rushed Soul.” That book is the inspiration for their conversation on how to balance working hard with resting well. They also talk about dealing with criticism in leadership, particularly how to handle chronic critics and how to recognize valuable criticism. Next, Chris talks with father-son co-pastor team Bill and Brent Purvis, who jointly lead Cascade Hills Church in Columbus, Georgia. Together, the two men set up systems to rid the church of its $5.5 million debt load, as well as set their congregation on a path to individual debt freedom. In January 2017, the church celebrated its own corporate debt freedom—an accomplishment that took a decade to achieve but that’s opened the door to ministry that wouldn’t otherwise have been possible. https://www.stewardshipcentral.org/podcast
