The LeadingSmart Podcast
Honest conversations. Practical insights. Smarter leadership.
Hosted by Tim Stevens and Holly Tate, The LeadingSmart Podcast exists to equip church leaders who care deeply about leading with integrity, clarity, and wisdom—even when it’s hard.
We are officially on Season 3! This season is about staying sharp in today’s rapidly changing environment. We’ll dive into the practical issues leaders are facing right now—from running effective executive team meetings to navigating crucial conversations to leading in moments when the playbook doesn’t exist yet.
Holly and Tim are moving out of the studio into our offices, and they will be recording and posting in real time, responding to current events as they happen, sharing fresh insights from our work with leaders across North America.
Be sure to email us at tim@leadingsmart.com if there are specific topics you want us to cover!
Enjoy!

[S2EP6] 40 Lessons, 4 Voices: The Stevens Kids on Growing Up in Ministry │ 40 Lessons In 40 Years
This episode of The LeadingSmart Podcast is one of my favorites yet—because I get to sit down with all four of my kids.
We talk about the good, the bad, and the funny moments of growing up in a pastor’s home—from staff parties in the backyard to the challenges of living life in the spotlight. You’ll hear their honest reflections on faith, family, and what it was like to be raised in ministry.
Whether you’re raising kids while leading in the church, or you’re just curious about what happens behind the scenes in a pastor’s family, I think you’ll find this conversation both encouraging and real.
Episode Highlights:
* Growing up in a ministry home: the good, bad, and funny
* Lessons about family, freedom, and faith
* Why family should never come second to ministry
* Honest reflections from kids who lived it
