Hearing from God and Investing in Others

On this week’s episode of the Led First Lead Second podcast, Pastor Joe gets to sit down with Ron Kent. Ron is first and foremost a husband and father of two, but he is also the Executive Director of Akron Youth Mentorship, a K-12 boys and girls mentorship and discipleship organization, and has recently stepped into a leadership role in an organization called Youth Success Summit. Ron has a huge passion for pouring into and developing people whether that be the kids that take part in the organizations he is leading in or other leaders who are also focusing on pouring into those kids. Listen in to the conversation as Joe and Ron discuss all sorts of topics like healthy rhythms and managing time, leading and developing leaders, and so much more!

Wait on the Lord’s Time – Paul Starr

“The faith that you have and the mustard seed that you plant today will bear fruit tomorrow, it will. You may not ever know it, but it will happen in some way, shape, or form.” – Paul Starr

This week on the Grace Unscripted Podcast, we get to hear the awesome story of Paul Star. Paul grew up locally in the Stow area in a family deeply rooted in the church. In early adulthood, he spent time in the military and ultimately walked away from his faith. As God started pulling Paul and his family back to Himself years later, Paul proceeded with caution just looking to find a reason to walk away again, but ultimately found purpose and fulfillment in a relationship with God.

If Paul’s story has resonated with you or you have any questions, we would love to hear from you! You can email us at Unscripted@graceohio.org! We are also excited to let you know that we have a Grace Unscripted worship playlist made up of each guest’s favorite worship song, or songs!

You Are of Great Value

On this week’s episode of the Led First Lead Second podcast, we get to hear from Pastor Deante Lavender, or as he is lovingly known, Pastor Lav. He is the Pastor at Remedy Church in Akron, Ohio. Today Pastor Joe and Pastor Lav dive into how sometimes our default is not always what God is asking us for, and helping people understand their worth, value, and the life God is calling them to.
