Hello team!

Please find a quick intro to this series of reflections on my journey into leading like Jesus and the Battle for my Soul!

It's really more like my journey of becoming courageous enough to say to the secular world, "Let's lead like Jesus"!

May God's peace be with you, and His Holy Angels protect you.

Meet 'Mother Nancy' - who, in our family, is lovingly called “Little Mama.”

She’s my stepmother-in-law, a mother, a Priest, gamby, and even great-gamby, and fast becoming one of my dearest friends. I finally met Nancy two years ago in Texas while visiting Brian’s dad, Jim. Nancy and Jim were married for 12 beautiful years before we sadly lost Jim to cancer last November.

Recently, Nancy spent time with us here in New Zealand, and through conversations, memories, and a bit of strategizing, this special podcast series was born.

Over six episodes, we dive into the world of leadership, drawing from Nancy’s journey and the wisdom she’s gathered as an ordained Priest in the Episcopal Church.

Expect heartfelt stories, meaningful insights, some laughter, maybe a few tears, and definitely, a couple of giggles along the way. We’re so glad you’re here.
