🎙️Episode 209 is out now with David Ashcroft, GLN President and CEO!

Communication can make or break trust on a team, especially when the conversation gets tense. In this episode, Whitney Putnam and GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft talk about one of the most common leadership challenges: how to communicate with clarity, candor and care when the stakes are high. They unpack a real moment from a recent GLN all-staff meeting, where a public challenge created tension, required follow-up and ultimately helped sharpen strategy. Whitney and David explore why leaders often think they are being clear when others are hearing something different, how trust makes hard conversations possible, and why “keeping short accounts” can prevent tension from becoming toxic. This conversation gives leaders a practical look at how honest communication, handled with humility and follow-through, can strengthen both the work and the relationship.

Is there an idea you feel called to pioneer?

When Aaron and Jennifer Sanders looked at church property, they saw more than buildings used once a week. They imagined vibrant gathering places where people could connect over coffee, shop at local markets, attend events and encounter community every day. Their model now welcomes hundreds of thousands of people each year onto church campuses — creating sustainable income while opening new doors for the Kingdom to meet culture.

Maybe it’s starting a supper club on your block. Or finally launching that side hustle. It may feel uncertain — or even a little crazy. But pioneering often does.

At the Global Leadership Summit, you'll hear from leaders who have gone first. Get your Super Early Bird ticket — and gain wisdom and courage for your next step. Join us on August 6-7, 2026 in the studio audience, at a local partner site, or online —> https://t.co/cSfz1M6jHd

Great leadership isn’t defined by the expectations of others. It’s defined by your response.

🎙️Episode 208 is out now with @craiggroeschel

Every leader eventually faces a moment when the plan stops working. A strategy fails, a team dynamic breaks down, growth creates new complexity, or an unexpected circumstance forces a change in direction. In this episode, David Ashcraft talks with Craig Groeschel, founder and senior pastor of https://t.co/TnSncnxpuW, about how leaders can respond when leadership does not go as planned.

Craig reflects on failed ideas, organizational pivots, team conflict, and the ongoing discipline of letting go as leadership expands. He also shares how humility, preparation, prayerfulness, candor and trust have shaped the way he leads through uncertainty. For leaders navigating disruption—whether external circumstances or internal challenges—this conversation offers a grounded reminder: the mission matters more than the method, and growth often requires the courage to release what you can no longer carry.
