Episode 63 with Chris Grainger

In our latest podcast episode, we take our listeners on a transformative journey with our special guest, Chris Granger, the founder of The Lion Within Us. This episode uncovers the raw and inspiring story of a man who faced trials of divorce and loss and harnessed these experiences to embody transformational leadership and serve others.

Chris' personal leadership journey unfolds from his formative teenage years to his career in engineering, emphasizing the profound fulfillment that comes from choosing a path of service. We also venture into the realm of fatherhood, exploring the crucial role male role models play in children's lives. Our conversation underscores the influence strong father figures have had on us, and we delve into Chris' experiences in engineering and leadership, uncovering valuable lessons learned from his stumbles and victories.

The importance of trust-building and relationship-building shines through in our discussion, with Chris emphasizing the value of vulnerability and humility in leadership. Our conversation takes on a spiritual tone as we explore the concept of Christ-centered leadership and how it differs from worldly leadership. We round up the discussion with an emphasis on the contrast between worldly titles and true spiritual leadership, and how meekness is a superpower in leadership.

As we dive deep into the concept of finding purpose in life's challenges and how they can lead to serving others, our listeners are reminded that leadership is a journey, not a linear path. We also delve into the power of prayer and how it can lead to sacrifices and growth. Overall, this chapter encourages listeners to embrace life's challenges and find purpose in them.

Our conversation explores the concept of Christ-centered leadership and its distinction from the world's view of leadership. The host, a Christian man surrounded by women in his household, shares his calling to serve Christian men in leadership roles. The focus is on simplifying and applying the Bible to everyday life, helping men step into leadership positions.

Towards the end, we delve into the topic of leadership and masculinity, specifically in the context of Christian men. We debunk the misconception that meekness is a sign of weakness, highlighting its power in commanding attention and respect. We emphasize the importance of understanding and serving others, as well as the role of debriefing in leadership. The hosts stress the significance of being good stewards in all aspects of life, from finances to physical health to relationships. Ultimately, this chapter emphasizes the importance of embracing meekness as a superpower in leadership.

In conclusion, our enlightening journey into leadership and service is a call to navigate life's trials with grace, humility, and a servant-hearted mindset. As we strive to become transformational leaders, we learn that meekness, trust-building, and relationship-building are the bedrock of true spiritual leadership. And above all, we are reminded that every day is a gift, not to be wasted but used to serve others and glorify God.
