Today we get to listen to Mark Moore, professor at Ozark Christian College and author of “Core 52”. He shares with us the importance of vision in the church, and why a strong vision can make a difference, and how Christians were the people to make a huge impact on humanity, through simple things like the inception of public education and foster care.

In this episode, we sit down with Brandon and Matt Wilson—brothers, co-lead pastors, and the heart behind Ekklesia Christian Church in Conway, South Carolina. From childhood stages to shared leadership, their journey is a story of calling, creativity, and deep brotherhood—both in family and in ministry.

You’ll hear how their different strengths fuel a dynamic partnership: Brandon brings depth through discipleship and recovery, while Matt drives vision and mission. Together, they’ve developed innovative approaches to church, including a unique Thursday night format built around group discussion and spiritual growth, and a wildly creative Easter series styled as a murder mystery investigation.

They also open up about the real-life challenges and joys of leading side-by-side as brothers, and how their relationship reflects the kind of honest, intimate leadership modeled by Jesus.

To close, Brandon and Matt share what it means to be part of The Solomon Foundation family—where churches don’t just get resources, they gain lasting relationships and support.

Whether you’re leading with a sibling, a team, or just learning how to grow where you’re planted, this episode will inspire you to lead with authenticity, creativity, and purpose.

In this powerful episode, we hear from life coach and pastor Tra Beard from Northwest Church of Christ in South Haven, Mississippi, as he unpacks what it means to lead with courage rooted in God’s vision. Recorded live at our recent conference, Tra challenges leaders to stop chasing personal ambition and instead align their vision with divine revelation from God’s Word.

Drawing from the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18–19, Tra walks us through five key characteristics of courageous leadership—from confronting corruption to trusting God’s power alone. He unpacks the idea of “anointing” and how God equips us to do the impossible through His strength, not ours.

This episode is more than just a message—it’s an invitation to reflect. You’ll be prompted to consider your current leadership challenges, where God might be realigning your perspective, and what new assignments He’s calling you into.

Whether you’re leading a church, a team, or simply navigating your next faithful step, this conversation will encourage you to lead boldly and faithfully—for a purpose.
