Living Worthy with D.J. Horton

Most Christian leaders don't set out to misuse the money and resources God has entrusted to them, yet we still find poor stewardship happening among phenomenal, godly people. What needs to change, and why does it matter? Join Dr. D.J. Horton and his church's Executive Pastor, Ken Fisher, for a conversation on becoming faithful stewards. They'll discuss two of the biggest enemies of

As leaders, we can fall into the trap of thinking we have to be the ones with all the ideas, but that's simply not true.

Creating a kingdom-minded culture means the people on your team want to help each other win because there is a bigger picture at play.

When it comes to our churches, businesses, and ministries, we should certainly want to pursue excellence, but excellence can become our enemy when we forget that people matter most. Join Dr. D.J. Horton and Pastor Jarrett McNeely for a conversation surrounding how to love and shepherd the people you lead well - even when it’s difficult - and how to avoid burnout. People truly do
