Chris Maxwell and Tracy Reynolds usually have guests on their weekly podcast Next Step Leadership. Some weeks, like this one, the conversation includes only Chris and Tracy. These two men have known each other for almost two decades. They’ve worked together, served together, and led together. They continue hoping to learn together. Listen as they offer their latest thoughts on serving and leading in today’s uncertain culture. Where are you now? Where are you going in the future? Who is traveling with you? What can you do to reach the goals God has given you? How can you be sure to take consistent steps, and the correct steps, in this season of your life? What are you best at doing? Why are you doing what you’re doing? What are you regularly doing that you should give up? Are you making a difference? Who are you allowing to help you evaluate your life? How do your jobs bring stress? Sit across the table with the right people who will help lead you as you ask those questions and as you lead others.

Dr. Chris Green continues as this week’s guest on Next Step Leadership. He again invites listeners to come to the table. Merging the past of Christ’s life and death, and the future life with Christ, he brings the table to our present stories. Through his writing and teaching and arts, Dr. Green provides new thoughts to his tradition. Let his story invite you to a deeper understanding of God’s artwork. Allow his words of scholarly spirituality be practical, real, and valuable. Communication is something machines do. People commune with each other. Refuse to see God as the mechanic. Let God be your artist; let God be your guide. Undo what has held us back in unhealthy ways. Grasp a greater truth of valuable tradition. Write a list of points from his thoughts. Plan to apply what you have learned.
