Out of Control Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

The Uncommon [cast] is back! In this episode we talk about control in the midst of a 2020 that is wildly out of control. Yes, so much of this year has shown us how little control we actually have. So the Uncommon [team] wants to encourage you with some hope and advice on where to place your footing on the shaky ground that is 2020. Also Ryan shares about nearly getting in a fight with a disgruntled resident near the beach where he surfs. That alone is worth the listen! ;)

Rest - A [GOOD] NIGHT Conversation Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

In February 2020, we had an event where we talked about Rest. And we enjoyed the conversation so much that we decided to post the audio. During the night we reference a few things, but especially a book called The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. We strongly encourage you to read it... and when you do... COFFEE ON US!!! We'd love to talk with you about what you learned and what you got out of the book!

One Word with Dan Britton Feb 05, 2020

Show notes

So... This episode is just one word. Super short. ;) We kid! We kid! This was such a great conversation with Dan Britton about choosing a word for your year. And how it goes much deeper than goals and resolutions. How choosing a word can make you more aware of that word's impact in your life, and more importantly, how it can help you be a blessing and have impact on others.
Dan is the Co-author of One Word That Will Change Your Life and the Executive VP of Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
We're so excited for you to hear this conversation and choose your word for the year!

#Goals with Ken Blanchard Dec 20, 2019

Show notes

Dawn and Ryan had the privilege of sitting down with our good friend [and leader in all of our lives], Ken Blanchard. As we head into a new year, we wanted to share some [good] wisdom about setting goals and achieving them from one of the best minds in leadership and goal setting. We love Ken's heart and ability to humbly direct the conversation towards Jesus and following Him. As an added treat, Ken's friend and colleague, Joe Stutson, joins the conversation AND Ken's dog, Joy, makes her podcast debut. All around an awesome conversation that we hope encourages you to set some realistic and attainable goals... and be kind as you lead yourself in the process.
We mention in the episode how awesome it has been for the Blanchards (and Ross clan) to establish some family values that they operate by. We would HIGHLY encourage you to try that out with your family. And to help you out with that, we've included a document that will help you determine your family values. Maybe that is a great attainable goal to jump on for you and your family in 2020...

We mentioned a bunch of other stuff in this episode that you'll want to check out too, like the Blanchard's Situational Leadership model, some of his books, and another great book by Jon Acuff, Finish. Here's some links to all that:

Good News Across Cultures with Arnell Motz Sep 18, 2019

Show notes

This week we sit down with a leader in our life, Arnell Motz (in Ryan's nice cool dining room, not the hot sultry tree house). Arnell was one of Dawn and Ryan's professors at Bethel University. He's got an incredible story and is basically one of the most interesting men in the world. (Dos Equis, do you want a new spokesman? Or a podcast to sponsor?).
By the time you hear this episode, Arnell will be in Ethiopia Pastoring a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, globally minded congregation. We were so excited to connect with him before he left to talk about sharing Good News in the context of different cultures. And how understanding the culture is the first step.

Where do we start with this episode? Soooo good in so many ways! We sit down with one of our new best friends, Russ Johnson of the Table Network.

The Sacred in the Ordinary with Markus Watson Jul 31, 2019

Show notes

This was a really cool conversation with Markus Watson about finding the sacred in the ordinary things of life. Markus shares his story in a real and vulnerable way about how he came to realize that everything is spiritual. He also gives us a super interesting history lesson of why we often think that only church things and church people are "sacred". Plus he shares about the huge impact his not-so-huge church is having on their community. You gotta hear this one!
Markus is a Pastor and hosts the Spiritual Life and Leadership Podcast. Find him on Instagram @markuswats0n and Twitter @MarkusWatson.
Here's a list of the books Markus mentions in this episode:
Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen
Surrender to Love by David Benner
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, Peter Scazzero
