About this listen

 It's your life, and you get one shot to summit it. The mountain of life includes slippery footing, tottering boulders, and thinning air. You're strong and capable but are you fully equipped to successfully summit this mountain? You don't need clichés, pity, or cheerleader banter. You need the fellowship of wise men who walk with wise men; and we need you. (See Proverbs 15:22.) The Next Stage Podcast is produced by Sherpa Unlimited and hosted by Rob Stout.

    Ep 53 Jeremiah Shaw: How Do Men Get Unstuck?
    Feb 18 2026
    Ep 53 Jeremiah Shaw Wednesday, February 18, 2026 Most leaders don't get stuck because they lack skill. Instead, they get stuck because they don't understand who they are at the core of their identity and purpose, and this has ramifications at home and work. Today, Rob Stout is talking to Jeremiah Shaw, who serves as a leadership coach, consultant, and executive mentor focused on helping leaders and teams gain clarity and take intentional action in their organizations. Jeremiah holds a Master's degree in Organizational and Global Leadership and is an Associate Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation. He's the founder of Grovity Leadership, which helps train leaders, teams, and organizations through Executive Coaching, Team Coaching, Organizational Training, and Strategic Planning. The Next Stage helps men live lives of purpose, born out of their identity as men created in God's image.

    Ep 52 Ross Chapman: Your Work as Full Time Ministry
    Feb 4 2026
    Wednesday, February 4, 2026 What is work? Sadly, many in the church either hate their job or worship it, but the Bible has a completely different take. Whether you're in a kitchen, in an office, on a court, on a microphone, in a trench, or in a pulpit, today we're talking about work. Whose idea was this, anyway? Today, Rob Stout is talking to Dr. Ross Chapman, CEO of the Denver Institute for Faith and Life, a think tank working on helping the church better understand the value and purpose of work. The Next Stage is available on all major audio platforms Apple Podcast, Spotify, and more, as well as video formats like YouTube.
