CityChurch Podcast | Use The Left | Chett Pete

What if one of the greatest keys to growth is learning when to step aside and create space for someone else? In this special message, we explore the surprising leadership lesson found in the Great Commission when Jesus entrusted His disciples with a monumental mission and then left, empowering them to carry it forward. Through the challenge to "use the left," this episode encourages believers to embrace multiplication over control, see potential in others, develop new leaders, and view serving as an opportunity rather than a burden. Discover practical principles for raising up disciples, making room for others to step into their calling, and helping the church grow through intentional empowerment.

In this episode of the City Church podcast, the focus is on leading well at home as the foundation for effective leadership and discipleship.

CityChurch Podcast | The Danger of Insecurity in Leadership

In this episode, we unpack how insecurity can quietly damage leadership and ministry more than external opposition ever could.

Using powerful biblical examples and real-life leadership insights, the episode contrasts insecure leadership which limits growth with secure leadership that empowers others and builds thriving communities. Listeners are encouraged to develop self-awareness without becoming self-focused, to trust God’s calling over public opinion, and to lead from a place of spiritual confidence rather than fear.

Deep Love For People

In this episode of the City Church Charlotte podcast, the series A Biblical Approach to Leaders and Disciplemakerscontinues with a message titled “Deep Love for People,” emphasizing that true biblical leadership is rooted in a genuine, Christlike love for others. The conversation highlights how God’s heart has always been for people, pointing to examples from Scripture such as Jesus’ compassion, God’s concern for Nineveh, and Paul’s words about carrying believers in his heart rather than treating them as tasks or responsibilities. Listeners are challenged to move beyond transactional relationships and instead embrace an unconditional love that reflects the heart of Jesus, recognizing that people are not interruptions but the very purpose of ministry. The episode also teaches that the true mark of a disciple is love, as seen in John 13, and that leaders reproduce who they are, meaning authentic love must be lived out, not just spoken. Practical expressions of this love include praying faithfully for others, being fully present, encouraging intentionally, and loving sacrificially with time, care, and compassion. Ultimately, this message calls believers to see people as family, to share life deeply, and to lead in a way that reflects the love of Christ in every interaction.
