Great Leaders: Recent Episodes
Beach Church
The Great Leaders Podcast exists to equip you with leadership principles rooted in scripture. Join us as we journey together to apply these principles to our ministries, our communities, and our lives. This podcast is produced by the leadership of Beach Church as we aim to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.
Here at Beach Church, we believe that great leaders serve from a calling! On this episode, Pastor Carey and recent interns Chris and Rachel share their experience from our Beach Church internship and what they've learned about leadership through this experience.
Here at Beach Church, we believe that great leaders multiply! That's why we couldn't be more excited for our new Multiply Vision that God has given us for the next 5 years. On this episode, Pastor Carey and Pastor Jerry break down the Multiply vision and how we hope to multiply disciples, leaders, systems, churches, and new ground.
Do you remember the first time you were invited to serve? Do you remember how exciting and refreshing it was to partner with what God was doing? As we move forward over the next few years, we believe that God wants you as leaders to be reconnected to those early moments and to Himself. This episode is meant to encourage you to reconnect to weekly worship, reading the Bible, giving, and serving.
Great Leaders... canoe the mountains
When Louis and Clark Expedition hit the Rocky Mountains armed with nothing but canoes, they put the mission first, and boldly adapted to the unexpected terrain. To scale the mountains of ministry, we too must learn to abandon the canoes and adjust to uncharted landscapes.

Great leaders... grow closer to Jesus.
You cannot lead somewhere you have not first gone yourself. In order to lead others closer to Jesus, you must be continually growing in your relationship with him. Pastor Carey connects with guest speaker Katie Baughman to discuss their experiences and provide practical insights for maintaining a relationship with Jesus that is not only active in the present but grows and flourishes over the long haul.
Great leaders... pour into others.
We believe that one of the greatest privileges of leadership is raising up the next wave of leaders. In this new podcast Pastor Carey shares a number of methods for pouring into others and developing the leader in them, and includes a four-step process that will undoubtably take your leadership game to the next level.
Great leaders... win others to Jesus.
Each and every person has a unique position of influence in the atmosphere around them. Are we using that influence to lead others to Jesus? Pastors Michael Young, Joshua Delp, and Carey Sumner tackle this leadership principle, speaking to the core of why and how we lead as believers.
Great Leaders.... are FOR people.
If your words of encouragement are nutrition to people you lead, are they starving or are they thriving? According to scripture, the greatest leaders come not to be served, but to serve others. Pastor Jerry Sweat and Carey Sumner dive into five essential ways to be FOR the people God has entrusted to you.
Great leaders... are great followers.
In order to lead greatly we must first follow greatly. Jesus himself modeled this for us in scripture, wholeheartedly following the leadership of God the Father. Just as Jesus set his sights on his father's vision, powerful followers understand and align themselves with their team's vision and mission.
