The Tim Ahlman Podcast

The Hidden Ambition God Actually Wants

Unite Leadership Collective Episode 38

Tim sits down with Rev. Dr. Ryan Tinetti, Assistant Professor of Practical Theology at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. Together, they dive into Ryan’s upcoming book, The Quiet Ambition, exploring how everyday faithfulness and small acts of love make an eternal difference in God’s kingdom.

Ryan shares his story of parish ministry, his approach to preaching “by heart,” and the hope he wants to inspire in pastors and laypeople alike. From facing storms—both literal and spiritual—to reflecting on confessional Lutheran theology, this conversation offers encouragement, challenge, and a renewed vision for ministry in the church today.
