When change comes, do you run and hide from it or do you embrace it as an exciting adventure?

I hope that you're in the latter category of people who view change as an exciting adventure.

However, I know that most people hide it first and then slowly tiptoe into the change.

So why all the talk about change?

Well, changes are coming to this podcast.

This podcast has undergone a couple of changes.

When it started, it was all about leadership, narrowly focused on building up leaders.

And then I shifted to focus on business, specifically on small business owners and helping them

be better at leading their teams and running their businesses.

I took a break from the podcast starting in the summer of 2023 to focus on the church

I was a part of.

My responsibilities in that church were taking up much of my time and moving into 2024, I

made the decision it was time to step away from leadership there and focus on my family

and my desire to pursue a degree in biblical and theological studies.

I started college this last fall and it's been both challenging and rewarding.

But now moving into 2025, I'm once again taking this podcast in a new direction.

The episodes that I will be making going forward will be a mix of discipleship and leadership,

specifically the integration of discipleship under Jesus Christ and leadership.

The Equipped for Purpose podcast exists to equip, develop, and empower followers of Jesus

Christ to integrate deep discipleship with impactful leadership in every area of life.

That is the direction the podcast is going.

So I hope you'll join me on this journey.

I am very grateful to all of you who have made this podcast part of an investment of

time.

I know that it is a valuable investment of time to listen to a podcast and then apply

what it is that you've discovered.

Just as I value my time, I hold value for yours as well.

And I am committed to bringing you content that is crammed full of actionable value.

So from leadership to business and now to integrating deep discipleship with impactful

leadership, I hope that you will continue to listen and share the show.

If you plan to continue listening, I'm very excited and would love to hear from you.

My email is in the show notes.

My big ask of you is to connect with me on X, Facebook or Instagram, or all of the above

if you want.

But those are the platforms I'm on and I'm most active on X.

Thank you.
