    Pass the Torch: Why Next Generation Leaders Need to Honor Senior Leaders | S5 E26 Jul 12, 2023
    Show notes

    Are our future leaders really ready to lead? Not if they have missed out on their greatest asset - the knowledge of those that paved the way.
    Here you'll learn why honoring and learning from the wisdom of senior leaders in ministry or other organizations is imperative when the next generation is preparing to take a seat of leadership.
    There's a common misconception that younger generations have more insight and is more up to date, while the older generation is often seen as resistant to change.
    As ministers, staff members and pastor's kids, Christopher Alessi and his sister Stephanie Muiña discuss the importance of the next generation partnering with and learning from the older generation, recognizing their wisdom and honoring their contributions.

    Church Hurt: Myths, Mistakes, and How We Handle the Struggle | S5 E23 Jun 21, 2023
    Show notes

    What do you do when you're hurt in the place where you sought healing?
    In an environment where several high-profile ministries and pastors have been critiqued and exposed in the media for moral and ethical failures, how does a family dedicated to ministry respond?
    Is it possible to avoid the pain and disconnection that church hurt can cause?
    In this raw and honest conversation, we share our insights on managing expectations within the church, how to determine when church hurt is a valid emotion, and the importance of trusting in the valuable relationship with God found in a local church.
    Sharing our personal stories, we discuss how we've grown from these experiences and how crucial grace and responsibility are for both pastors and churchgoers.
    We also explore how to discern between good and bad pastors, recognize their role and calling, and understand the intentions of people when joining a church.
    Please share this powerful episode with a friend or family member who needs to know what to do with church hurt, directly from folks who know the church inside and out.

    The Honor Code: What It's Really Like to Work for Your Father in Ministry | S5 E22 Jun 14, 2023
    Show notes

    It's one thing to honor your father. It's quite another to honor him while you work for him.
    In this powerful episode, Chris Alessi welcomes his good friend Caleb Thomas to the Family Business to discuss their experiences as sons who chose to work for their fathers in ministry.
    They open up about the honor principle that has guided their decisions as they each followed a father's footsteps, and explore how those choices molded them into the people they are today.
    As they reflect on their relationships with their fathers, and their roles as co-workers and proteges, you'll learn powerful concepts of legacy, submission, and setting an example for your own children.
    Listen in as these two pastor's sons reveal the immense impact that a good father can have on his children - even in a unique, demanding ministry environment.
    Caleb Thomas is a staff pastor at Free Life Chapel in Lakeland FL, where he serves under his parents Pastors Scott and Cindy Thomas. He and his wife Elizabeth are the proud parents of their son, Malachi Santiago, and are currently preparing to welcome their daughter, Thalia Sage.
