Do you wonder what it would take to turn a culture from toxic to flourishing? Today, we talk with a leader who did just that.

Today’s podcast touches the heart of why we do what we do at Best Christian Workplaces.  Our conversation is with a leader whose work is all about facilitating the transformation of at-risk kids, aged 5 to 17.   

When he joined the organization, he was faced with fixing a toxic workplace with disengaged employees. Our conversation is about how he moved their workplace from toxic to flourishing. We know it isn’t easy to transform a workplace, but it’s worth the effort when you get to see your employees flourish and deepen their commitment to the mission and vision of your organization, particularly when kids are involved.

Are skinny jeans and fog machines at the heart of your church's growth strategy? Well, who are you turning to for help? And what are the best strategies for growth? Today's show with pastor and author, Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, answers your questions. Listen in as he fans the flame to renew your calling to finish the work that you have received.

Serving as a pastor or church leader has never been easy.

How can you as a pastor or Christian leader find renewed passion for your calling, and regular refreshment, so you aren’t serving on empty? 

Today’s podcast will highlight ways to fan the flame of the calling God has placed in you, so you can continue to serve.  

I’m delighted to welcome Jim Cymbala, Pastor of Brooklyn Tabernacle. Jim has been a pastor for more than 50 years, and along with leading Brooklyn Tabernacle, he has a heart for encouraging and equipping other pastors. His most recent book is Fan the Flame.
