  • Shifting emphasis…

    I have enjoyed listening to this podcast for the last several years. Some episodes are brilliant and some less so. Recently, I find myself skipping episodes on this podcast more and more. The podcast just feels different than it used to. I think it has become less relevant to boots on the ground leaders and is more about showcasing minority philosophies and viewpoints on the gospel. What I want is more regular leader stories practical tips and advice.

    Also I think there’s a heavy emphasis on t... more

  • Called to serve

    I have been listening for years and I am not really a “leader” in the church, but have learned so much and share it with the real “leaders” . But I have been serving a mission in South Africa for the past 18 months and I draw upon your content often- thank you!

    I have been listening to this podcast for years and have never commented on how much I love it! The variety of topics is what I love the most. Every time I listen, I learn something new and feel uplifted. Thank you Kurt for all your efforts and sacrifice! Elder Uchtdorf said “no good thing comes without effort and sacrifice.” Thanks for making this a good thing for so many :)

  • New Bishop

    I am a new Bishop in a true freshman ward at BYU Provo. This podcast has been my main mentor as I reframe the way I lead, and repent daily. I have learned that keys, priesthood, and leadership, are summed up for me in Facilitate, Empower, & Witness. That was so new and eye opening for me. Thank you for these podcasts.
