    #479: Mac & Kenz — You Can't Lead Well While Pretending to Be Someone Else
    Oct 27 2026
    What if the very thing holding you back as a leader is trying to become someone God never intended you to be? In this episode of the Follow 2 Lead Podcast, Tony Miltenberger welcomes back Mac Bridges and Kenz, co-founders of Delight Ministries, for a conversation about leadership identity, vulnerability, partnership, and learning to trust God when life doesn't go according to plan. Early in their leadership journeys, both Mac and Kenz spent years comparing themselves to other leaders and trying to develop strengths they simply weren't wired to have. Everything began to change when they stopped chasing someone else's definition of leadership and started embracing the unique gifts God had given them. Together, they've learned that great leadership doesn't require identical strengths. In fact, their differences have become one of their greatest advantages. They also share why vulnerability is essential to building trust, how practicing humility in everyday conversations can transform relationships, and why leaders need to get comfortable admitting when they've gotten something wrong. Drawing from their new book, This Wasn't the Plan, Mac and Kenz explore what it means to move forward when expectations fall apart. Through the biblical framework of Ask, Seek, Knock, they offer a practical way to pursue God in seasons of uncertainty rather than remaining stuck or giving up. In this episode, you'll discover: Why trying to imitate other leaders can keep you from developing your own gifts. How to identify and embrace your God-given leadership strengths. Why the best leadership partnerships often bring together very different personalities. How vulnerability creates trust and gives others permission to be honest. Why great leaders practice humility through reflection and apology. How to share difficult stories without compromising other people's privacy. What Jesus' invitation to ask, seek, and knock teaches us about moving through uncertainty. Why seasons of disappointment require both stillness and action. How to surrender your expectations without abandoning your calling. Coaching Question Where are you trying to lead like someone else instead of embracing the gifts God has given you—and what would change if you stopped? Connect with Mac & Kenz Mac Bridges and Kenz are the co-founders of Delight Ministries, a ministry dedicated to helping college women grow in their relationships with Jesus. Their new book, This Wasn't the Plan, offers encouragement and practical direction for navigating life's unexpected seasons through the biblical invitation to ask, seek, and knock.

    #478: Jedd Medefind — Your Phone Is Costing You More Than You Think
    Oct 20 2026
    What if your phone isn't just stealing your time, but quietly changing the way you lead, think, and connect with the people who matter most? In this episode of the Follow 2 Lead Podcast, Tony Miltenberger sits down with Jedd Medefind, president of the Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) and author of Rule Your Tech So It Won't Rule You, for a conversation about technology, attention, spiritual formation, and the hidden costs of constant connectivity. Jedd believes one of the greatest gifts a leader can offer is their presence. Not simply showing up, but bringing a sense of calm, hope, and genuine attentiveness to the people around them. Unfortunately, the technology we rely on every day is making that increasingly difficult. Drawing from research, personal experience, and his work leading a global network of Christian organizations, Jedd explores how our devices influence our ability to focus, maintain healthy relationships, and experience peace. He also shares why technology itself isn't the enemy—and how small, intentional boundaries can help us reclaim what matters most. From phone-free bedrooms to team-wide spiritual practices, this conversation offers practical encouragement for leaders who want to use technology wisely without allowing it to shape their priorities. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your presence may be the most valuable gift you offer as a leader. How constant connectivity can undermine focus, calm, and meaningful relationships. The three ways technology affects us: content, displacement, and brain formation. Why technology boundaries matter for adults just as much as children. How to recognize when your devices are making decisions about your attention. What Jedd learned about leadership and collaboration while serving in the White House. How shared spiritual practices can strengthen an organization's culture. Why keeping your phone out of the bedroom can make a meaningful difference. How small, consistent choices can help you become a more attentive, grounded, and Christ-centered leader. Coaching Question What is one boundary you could establish with technology this week that would help you become more fully present with God, your family, or the people you lead? Connect with Jedd Medefind Jedd Medefind serves as president of the Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO), a collaborative network of organizations committed to caring for vulnerable children. Previously, he served in the George W. Bush administration, including at the White House, helping advance the Faith-Based and Community Initiative. His book, Rule Your Tech So It Won't Rule You, explores how intentional technology choices can protect our attention, relationships, and well-being.

  • #477: Ryan Miller — What If Your Ambition Is Getting in God's Way?

    #477: Ryan Miller — What If Your Ambition Is Getting in God's Way?
    Oct 13 2026
    What happens when the thing you're working so hard to build becomes the very thing God is asking you to surrender? In this episode of the Follow 2 Lead Podcast, Tony Miltenberger sits down with author, speaker, and coach Ryan Miller for a conversation about ambition, identity, surrender, and the surprising power of meekness in Christian leadership. Ryan knows what it's like to chase a big vision. In his twenties, he was on the verge of a major Hollywood deal for a multimillion-dollar film project. Then, at the height of its momentum, he made the difficult decision to walk away. What followed were years of financial uncertainty, failed ventures, and a painful confrontation with an identity built around achievement. But in that wilderness season, Ryan began discovering something that would change the way he understood leadership: meekness isn't weakness. It's strength surrendered to God. Drawing from his new book, Meek as a Mustang, Ryan shares how the process of taming wild horses became a powerful picture of discipleship, trust, and the freedom that comes from letting God lead. Tony and Ryan also explore the importance of spiritual rhythms, discerning whose voices to trust, protecting your priorities, and recognizing when even good ambitions have become distractions. In this episode, you'll discover: Why ambition and achievement can quietly become the foundation of your identity. How to recognize when you're pursuing your own success instead of God's direction. What walking away from a major opportunity taught Ryan about surrender. Why meekness is a leadership virtue, not a personality type or a sign of weakness. How seasons of failure and uncertainty can reshape your understanding of success. Why spiritual disciplines should deepen your relationship with God rather than become another performance metric. How to discern which mentors and voices deserve influence in your life. Why healthy boundaries are essential to leading and loving others well. What it means to develop leaders who seek God's presence more than personal recognition. Coaching Question Where might your ambition be getting in the way of your obedience—and what would it look like to surrender that area of your leadership to God? Connect with Ryan Miller Ryan Miller is an author, speaker, and coach passionate about sharing stories that point people toward Jesus. His book, Meek as a Mustang, explores how surrender, trust, and meekness can transform the way we live and lead.
