I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

In this episode, I explore the subtle yet profound danger of light thoughts of sin. Drawing from Charles Spurgeon’s timeless wisdom, we uncover how these seemingly minor thoughts can lead to compromise, impacting our personal holiness and leadership effectiveness. Discover actionable steps to guard your heart and deepen your walk with Christ. Key Takeaways: Sinful thoughts are the "eggs of sin," capable of hatching into destructive actions. Compromise unfolds in four stages: tolerance, affirmation, acceptance, and adoption. A tender conscience can fade into callousness through the "little sin" deception. Practical steps include self-examination, cultivating godly thoughts, and embracing accountability. 🌐 WEBSITE: Website ➔ vincentream.com 📲 SOCIAL STUFF: X ➔ https://x.com/vincent_ream Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/vincent.a.ream/ Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/vincent.a.ream/ 📨 CONTACT: Email ➔ vincent.ream@gmail.com Messenger ➔ m.me/106458781002852 🤝 Consider supporting the show!

Have you ever felt like leadership was just a set of tasks to manage? Or wondered how your unique personality truly fits into your role as a leader in God's kingdom? What if the most impactful leadership begins not with what you do, but profoundly with who you are? In this foundational episode, we pull back the curtain on the first pillar of the Equipped for Purpos e leadership development program: Discovering Distinctiveness. This pillar is the essential groundwork for integrating deep discipleship with impactful leadership. Vincent provides a comprehensive overview of the four key areas that make up this pillar—Leader Identity, Mindset, Communication, and Conflict Resolution—and equip you with a clearer picture of the unique leader God has called you to be. Key Takeaways from This Episode : Your Leadership Foundation : The entire leadership program is broken into two parts: tactical "boots-on-the-ground" leadership and strategic, vision-based leadership. "Discovering Distinctiveness" is the first and most crucial pillar of Part 1. Embracing Imperfection : A major hurdle for leaders is self-criticism and the fear of not being perfect. We discuss the vital concept of "failing forward"—taking imperfect action to learn valuable lessons and make progress. Leader Identity as Your Compass : Your identity, comprised of your Character, Integrity, Vision, and Mission, serves as the foundation for every decision you make and builds trust with those you lead. It's crucial to distinguish your core identity from the temporary roles you fill. The Power of Mindset : Your mindset is the lens through which you view the world, and it drives your actions and shapes your team's culture. This episode provides actionable steps to overcome negative mindsets like imposter syndrome and cultivate positive ones like the growth, belonging, and abundance mindsets. Leadership IS Communication : Leadership can be defined as the purposeful exchange of meaning through everything you say and do. We explore five essential skills: Clarity and Confidence, Empathy, Active Listening, Adapting Your Style, and Welcoming Feedback. Resolving Conflict, Preserving Relationships : Conflict is inevitable, and it is the leader's responsibility to bring swift and healthy resolution. The overriding goal must always be to preserve the relationship, reflecting the biblical call to be peacemakers. To take the next step on your leadership journey, prayerfully consider the actionable steps at the end of the episode and feel free to reach out with your thoughts.

Discipleship and Leadership: From Theory to Daily Practice 19:02

25 days ago19:02

19:02

We hear the word 'discipleship' often, but what does it actually look like to be a disciple of Jesus in our everyday lives? This episode moves beyond the theoretical to explore the practical, daily actions that define a follower of Christ. True discipleship isn't a spiritual add-on; it's the very foundation for living a life of purpose and leading well in every area of life. Join Vincent as he breaks down the essential practices that flow from a life committed to following Jesus, actions that are foundational for anyone who desires to be an impactful leader at home, at work, or in their community. Key Takeaways: Defining a Disciple: A disciple is one who places faith in Jesus, takes intentional daily action toward Christ-like transformation, and purposefully shares the gospel. Relationship with God: Foundational actions for any disciple include building a relationship with God through daily prayer and deep study of Scripture. Prayer demonstrates our dependence on God, and studying His word is essential to learn how to live a Spirit-filled life. Engaging in Community: Disciples are meant to live in relationship with other believers. Fellowship is intentional, with the goal of helping one another become more like Christ through accountability, empathy, and encouragement. Sharing the Gospel: A core part of discipleship is seeking the "replication of disciples." This involves being prepared to share the reason for your hope and actively participating in God's mission. Transformation and Character: Discipleship is a lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ. This requires intentional effort to develop godly character, such as humility, integrity, and love, with the help of the Holy Spirit. Leadership Foundation: You cannot lead others effectively in their faith if you are not first committed to being a disciple yourself. These discipleship practices are essential for being equipped to lead well. 🌐 WEBSITE: Website ➔ vincentream.com 📲 SOCIAL STUFF: X ➔ https://x.com/vincent_ream Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/vincent.a.ream/ Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/vincent.a.ream/ 📨 CONTACT: Email ➔ vincent.ream@gmail.com Messenger ➔ m.me/106458781002852 🤝 Consider supporting the show!

Counting the Cost: The Reality of Following Jesus 16:56

6 weeks ago16:56

16:56

In this powerful episode, we’ll collide with a question that hits at the core of Christian faith: Is discipleship meant to be easy? Through Scripture and timeless insights, we’ll explore the true cost of following Jesus and why it’s a journey worth taking. Summary Defining Discipleship: We unpack what it means to be a disciple, a lifelong commitment to follow Jesus, not just a label. Counting the Cost: Jesus’ parables in Luke 14:28-33 warn us to weigh the commitment, urging us to renounce all for Him. The Demands of Discipleship: Mark 8:34 lays it out: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus daily. The Hard Road: Discipleship is a tough, transformative process, sculpting us through trials in a resistant world. Grace and Reward: Though costly, grace makes it bearable, and the eternal rewards make it reasonable. Key Takeaways Discipleship demands total surrender: your will, comfort, and life to Jesus. It’s a daily choice to deny yourself and embrace the cross, not a one-time act. The journey is hard, but it transforms us into who God created us to be. Grace sustains us, balancing the cost with the promise of eternal treasure. Following Jesus deepens our faith, even through suffering and sacrifice. 🌐 WEBSITE: Website ➔ vincentream.com 📲 SOCIAL STUFF: X ➔ https://x.com/vincent_ream Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/vincent.a.ream/ Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/vincent.a.ream/ 📨 CONTACT: Email ➔ vincent.ream@gmail.com Messenger ➔ m.me/106458781002852 🤝 Consider supporting the show!

Whether you’re new to faith or recommitting to follow deeper, this episode offers biblical foundations, real-life stories, and practical tools to guide you. Key Takeaways: Discipleship begins with a personal encounter with Jesus—dramatic or subtle—and a choice to follow.

You don’t need all the answers or perfection—Jesus meets you where you are. Take one step today: read Scripture, join a group, or mentor someone.

29:02

In this episode of Equipped for Purpose , we continue the conversation on Leader Identity , focusing on its definition and practical application. While roles may change, your identity as a leader remains anchored in four key components: Character, Integrity, Vision, and Mission . We explore how these elements shape your decisions, behaviors, and leadership approach, ensuring you lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Key Takeaways: Character is built on accountability, empathy, humility, resilience, and respect. Integrity means unwavering honesty and alignment with moral principles. Vision provides clarity, strategic direction, and inspiration for the future. Mission keeps you purpose-driven and ensures alignment in decisions. Roles vs. Identity – Your identity shapes how you fulfill roles, not the other way around. Practical applications – Mindset, communication, conflict resolution, team building, and leadership development all stem from identity. Six self-reflection questions to assess and refine your leadership identity. Are you letting external validation or internal convictions shape your leadership identity? How do scripture and faith play into defining who you are as a leader? How would you articulate your leadership identity in one sentence? How do your core beliefs shape the way you lead? How does your identity as a leader show up in everyday interactions? What’s an example of a decision you made that reflects your leadership identity?
