S2E1: Chris Bell | What Kind of Culture Are You Setting?

06/29/23 • 21 min

This week Shawn steps back to the mic to interview one of his first coaching clients ever, Chris Bell.

Shawn and Chris talk about growing in healthy ways. Growth doesn’t always equal health. Bad things, like weeds, can grow quickly.

Rather than focusing just on the growth, we need to look at the soil — the culture.

Every church and organization already has a culture. This leads us to questions such as:

Is the culture we have a culture we actually want? * Have we created this culture, or did it just “happen” by accident? * Are there things in our culture we need to change?

Furthermore, Chris talks about what to do when you drift from the culture you want — and how even those moments can become teaching opportunities for your team.

Chris leads 3 Circle Church, a five campus church in South Alabama.

Your marriage can tell a story bigger than you (Jeremy & Corrie Isaacs)

In this episode, JC interviews his very best friend (and his wife’s bestie, as well), Jeremy and Corrie Isaacs.

Jeremy and Corrie share a unique burden to minister marriages. They come from two different backgrounds.

Jeremy’s parents had a solid marriage, but he never saw them “live out” the conflict— nor was he taught how to manage it.

Corrie was raised by a single mom— with no marriage example to follow (her mother was married four times). However, she saw incredible marriages before her at church... and realized Jesus could restore everything.

The two of them believe that God not only CAN redeem your marriage, but can also enable your marriage to tell a bigger story than you imagine possible.
