MERRY CHRISTMAS!
As we approach 2020, we can hardly believe it's been a year since we launched the Right-Side Up leadership Podcast.
We've been humbled by the support and the amazing conversations we've been privileged to have in 2019 and we want to share some highlights from the last year.
In this episode, Alan and I collected some of our favorite clips that we believe will offer insight into your health and leadership as you look toward 2020. We hope this year of conversations has been as fruitful in your life as it has for ours.
Thank you for listening and engaging and we're so excited about what is in store for 2020.

Sometimes the risk of inaction is greater than the risk of any one decision.
One of those risks that every leader has to deal with in 2019 is social media. It's not going away and it is important to know how to engage with it in a way that is healthy
In this episode, Alan sits down with Daniel Fusco and Jason Ritche of Crossroads Community Church in Vancouver, WA. Daniel and Jason talk about taking risks to reach their city using social media.
Daniel and Jason know that much of their city is not engaging with church on a Sunday service, but most people are engaging with different social media platforms. They want to connect the message of Jesus to where people are, and that is social media.

At our most pessimistic, our world can seem more divided than ever. One of those divides is a generational one, as we hurl generalizations and blame for our many cultural complaints.
In this podcast, Alan sits down with author and leader Grant Skeldon to talk about his book, "The Passion Generation." In his book, Grant calls us all to a larger unifying purpose, discipleship. Millennials care deeply about passion and purpose and Grant argues there is no bigger and compelling cause then the commission given to us by Jesus to go and make disciples.
Grant challenges the passion generation to get passionate about being discipled and discipling the next generation. So whether you are leading as a millennial or leading millennials this podcast is for you!

We have a pretty audacious goal.
At Stay Forth Design's, we want to help shift the culture on what we celebrate in leadership.
Impact is great, but we often forget to celebrate the unsung hero's who are faithfully leading, innovating, investing and influencing their community for the Kingdom. Regardless of platform, scope or twitter following, we want to shine a light and affirm leaders all over the country, reminding them what they do matters!
We hope this can help shape what we celebrate as a leadership community AND we pray that it inspires you to affirm a faithful leader in your life, with a word, a card or maybe even an award!
Please celebrate with us as share the winners and honorable mentions of our 2019 Right-Side Up Awards.

How did you do on your 2019 goals? Do you feel encouraged, discouraged, maybe even a little shame mixed in?
As many of us look back on 2019, we are left wondering why our January dreams never made it past March.
In this episode, Alan and David have a conversation on why so many of us don't grow year after year. There is a gap between who we currently are and who we'd like to be, whether that is spiritually, mentally, physically, or emotionally. And that gap is very hard to close through desire alone. We need a plan and a process.
Alan and David talk about 4 things that can help your dreams become achievable goals that you can tackle one step at a time.
We are thrilled to offer our "Right-Side Up Journal" which includes a wide array of tools, questions and resources for you to reach your daily, weekly, monthly and even quarterly goals.

If you're blessed in your ministry and your leadership like you are praying for, what's your plan?
Most of us don't get that far. Our plan is to reach our goals and see the fruits of our labor. But what happens when you get it? What will you do with that blessing?
In this episode, David has a conversation with author and pastor, Mark Batterson about his new book, Double Blessing.
Mark unpacks the idea that we are blessed to be a blessing and as Christians we need to learn how to "flip the blessing." Mark is convinced that God loves to bless people who live with a posture of generosity. Meaning we need to be prepared to give God the glory and bless others with what God gives us before we're in a position to receive it.
Do you have a plan to flip the blessing that your praying for?

Questions aren't always comfortable.
Sometimes they lead to more questions. Sometimes they make us feel uneasy and uncertain. Sometimes they expose bias or ignorance.
While questions aren't always safe, we believe they are essential for learning, growth and leadership.
In this episode, Alan had the privilege of talking with author, pastor, professor and podcaster, Stephanie O'brien. In this conversation, Stephanie walks us through her book, "Stay Curious." In the book she curates years of conversations, questions and her journey with questions and doubts that strengthened her faith. Stephanie helps us let go of the idol of "certainty" in favor or faith, trust and wonder.

Sometimes the best thing you can do as a leader is get out of the way.
There is freedom to know that it doesn't all rest on you, and sometimes you connecting and convening the right people together is where the magic truly happens.
In this episode, Alan sits down with leader and author, Brad Lomenick. Brad has worn many hats, including leading the Catalyst Leadership movement, a speaker, and an author. An obvious gift of Brad's is his ability to connect the right people together and this has opened up all sorts of opportunities for greater Kingdom impact.
Brad and Alan talk through leadership principles, trends and practical tips and tools for navigating life as a young or experienced leader.
