Show notes

Tom Gibbs joins Dan in today’s episode to discuss the unique challenges of ministry leadership. Tom began his career planting a chapter of RUF (Reformed University Fellowship) on Baylor University's campus, and then a few years later planted Redeemer Presbyterian Church, a multicultural church in the heart of San Antonio. Redeemer blossomed under Tom’s leadership, and he pastored there for 19 years. In 2021, Tom came to Covenant Theological Seminary as president, at the height of the pandemic. At each spot along the way, there were unique challenges and different requirements for leadership, and in today’s episode, Tom shares some of the insights gained throughout his nearly 3-decade long career.

Show notes

Mike Duke spent years in senior leadership for Walmart, ultimately serving as CEO from 2009-2013. At the moment he took over the global economy was in the midst of significant upheaval, and rapid change was affecting the retail industry. In the early years, he pioneered a push for more online sales, bringing Walmart into a new era of growth and profitability. But more than the practical aspects of his leadership, Mike has always been marked by two principal characteristics, his humility and his love for his employees. Join us today and listen as Dan explores with Mike what it’s like to lead a company of 2 million employees while doing justice and loving mercy.

Alan Barnhardt, CEO Barnhardt Crain & Rigging May 08, 2024

Show notes

Alan Barnhart inherited his family's business and, alongside his brother, has grown a relatively small regional business into a nationwide one. Over the past 34 years, he developed several principles that are at the core of how they operate. They give away nearly half their yearly profit, and they task their employees with helping determine where the money goes. Alan sees this as good stewardship and a way to love the communities in which his company operates. As you will hear in today’s episode, he cares deeply about his employees, community, and business. He feels a tremendous sense of responsibility for the work that God has entrusted him with. We hope you enjoy today’s conversation.

Joel Salatin, Farmer, Activist. May 01, 2024

Show notes

Season 9 episode 1

Joel Salatin gained national purchase through his appearance in the 2006 book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan. Joel had been known for years prior due to his pioneering work in regenerative farming. Joel has been at the forefront of a unique movement in American farming and husbandry that sought to bring sustainability to an economically and ecologically challenging profession - and all of it through his perspective as a believer. In today’s episode, Dan digs into all the aspects that make Joel’s unique perspective such a clarion call for believers. It is no longer merely about sustenance but about our creational responsibility to the created world. It is a prescient challenge in a turbulent time.

Jim Fiala and Mike Duffy, Restaurateurs Feb 21, 2024

Show notes

We are fascinated by restaurant culture; from celebrity chef’s, to cooking competitions, to fancy food photography, or finding out the latest hottest place to open in our neighborhood. But behind the facade is the hard day to day work of running a restaurant, managing people, and perhaps most importantly offering true hospitality. Today, Dan talks with two restaurateurs from St. Louis, Jim Fiala and Mike Duffy. They run quite different styles of establishments, one fine dining, the other a casual sports pub. Despite the difference in their establishments, they are both informed and shaped by their faith. Join us and listen to today’s fascinating conversation.

Brent Harriman, Pastor, Former Campus Minister Feb 14, 2024

Tyler Stephens and Sarah Doriani, Architect, Designer Jan 31, 2024

In today’s podcast Dan interviews Rico Tice, an Anglican evangelist and perhaps best known for his book, Christianity Explored. Mr. Tice was born in Chile, raised in Uganda, and educated in England. He joined All Souls church in London, under the leadership of John Stott in 1994.

Steven Garber, former Professor of Marketplace Theology and Leadership, Regent College Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

Mentorship is much like planting a seed and nurturing it’s growth, tending to it until it bears fruit. As Steven Garber says, mentorship is the act of bringing one into vocation over the course of their life. As part of the burden of mentorship there is a deeper recognition that all of life falls under the Lordship of Christ. Dan and Steven acknowledge their influences from Lesslie Newbigin to Michael Polyani to Abraham Kuyper, and along the way they discuss everything from marketing, to knowing, hiking, politics, and their aesthetic sensibilities. Join us as we conclude season 7 with this profound and stimulating conversation on faith and work.
