This week on the No Regrets Podcast, Steve Sonderman sits down with Jim Stolberg for a powerful conversation about the untapped potential of the Boomer generation. Jim shares his personal journey of discovering his God-given calling in the “second season” of life—after years of gaining work, life, and spiritual wisdom. Through that process, he found clarity on what God was truly calling him to do.
Together, Jim and Steve explore how leaders can help Boomers recognize that their time, talents, and wisdom are not meant to be buried—they’re meant to be invested in the next generation. It’s a challenge to move from the “state” to the “sage,” from success to significance, from retirement to reinvestment.
You’ll hear practical ways to:
- Clarify your calling and listen for what God wants you to do next.
- Bridge the gap between church life and work life.
- Reframe success by using your business and life experience for Kingdom impact.
- Mobilize Boomers as mentors, leaders, and difference-makers in ministry and beyond.

On this episode of The No Regrets Podcast, Steve Sonderman sits down with Pat Morley—one of the pioneers of men’s ministry since the early ’90s and founder of Man in the Mirror Ministries.
Pat shares his powerful and deeply personal journey: growing up in the church without truly knowing Jesus, and the life-changing moment when a group of men welcomed him in and pointed him toward authentic faith. He opens up about the hidden wounds from his family and past, and how those unaddressed hurts shaped his life until he began to truly heal.
Together, Pat and Steve dive into why so many men are longing for deeper discipleship—and how unresolved pain from the past often stands in the way. Pat unpacks the heart behind his new book, Broken Boy to Mended Man, a powerful biblical guide to identifying and healing childhood wounds, breaking free from shame, and ending destructive cycles. Through honest reflection, practical steps, and spiritual wisdom, the book helps men face their past, process their pain, and emerge as whole, restored leaders in their families and communities.
If you've ever felt stuck in your past, this conversation will help you begin the journey of facing your pain, finding healing, and moving forward in freedom.

In this episode of the No Regrets Leadership Podcast, Gary Rohrmayer—church planter, missionary, and author of Ten Marks of a Coachable Leader—joins the conversation to unpack the power of coaching in the life of a leader.
Gary shares from his own leadership journey and offers insight into what coaching really is, what it looks like to work with a coach, and how a coach can bring perspective, encouragement, and clarity to your calling. He explains how coaching differs from mentoring, what makes for a strong coaching relationship, and why setting clear expectations and building trust is essential.
Together, we explore the key principles of coachability—humility, teachability, and a willingness to listen—and how leaders can cultivate these traits to grow and lead more effectively.
Whether you’re leading a church, a team, or just stepping into leadership, this episode will give you a clear picture of how coaching can transform your leadership and your life.

In this episode, Steve Sonderman sits down with Scott Papador to discuss The Grand Plan—a powerful 6-week curriculum designed to engage the often-overlooked force in our churches: Boomers. With 76 million Boomers in the U.S. and an estimated 35% of church attendees coming from this generation, Scott challenges us to consider: Are we fully utilizing their gifts, talents, and wisdom?
Scott shares his personal journey to faith and what led him to help develop The Grand Plan, a tool designed to activate men and women aged 52–73 for meaningful kingdom impact. Drawing on insights from Wisdom at Work by Chip Conley and From Strength to Strength by Arthur Brooks, this conversation explores how Boomers can move from success to significance.
Through a six-summit process centered on holistic health, vision planning, and intentional engagement, The Grand Planhelps Boomers discover how to serve with purpose—during retirement and beyond. Whether in small groups, businesses, or ministry, this episode encourages you not to bury your treasure but to live with impact throughout every season of life.

This week on the No Regrets Leadership Podcast, Nate is joined by Troy Thomas from Crossway Church teaching team for a meaningful conversation on discipleship and connecting with the next generation. Together, they explore the challenges and opportunities of reaching young men in today’s church and how spiritual formation is about more than just teaching—it's about doing.
Troy shares how his journey has been centered around making disciples who make disciples, influenced by the writings of Greg Ogden, Dallas Willard, Eugene Peterson, and John Mark Comer. He unpacks the deeper dynamics of how men relate, addressing the widespread loneliness among men and the longing for authentic connection. Troy offers tactical insight into how older men can build meaningful relationships with younger generations.

In this episode, Josh Lindblom joins Steve Sonderman to discuss the power of mentorship and investing in the next generation of men. What does it truly mean to mentor a young man? How do you choose someone to invest in? Josh shares his personal journey of being intentionally mentored and how it shaped his leadership, helping him navigate transitions and learn to walk alongside others.
Leadership is a lifelong process of discovering how God has uniquely shaped each of us for influence in His kingdom. Josh dives into the importance of relational depth, why true mentorship isn’t scalable but deeply personal, and how empowerment begins with understanding that our weaknesses don’t define us. He also shares practical steps for building meaningful mentorship relationships and training others to become mentors themselves.
We believe this episode will encourage and equip you to invest in the next generation and mobilize more men for Jesus. Don’t wait—there is an army of men ready to be mentored.

Join us for Part 2 of our conversation with Steve Sonderman and Matt Millar as we dive deeper into the importance of apprentices in ministry. Jesus intentionally chose His disciples, He set clear expectations, and prepared them for their mission—so how can we follow His model today?
In this episode, we continue to explore: - Preparation – Teaching apprentices what they need to know before sending them out. - Empowerment – Encouraging leaders and helping men overcome fear of failure. - Giving Away Responsibility – Developing leaders by providing clear roles and expectations. - A Holistic Apprenticeship Process – Investing in people at every level of your organization.
A structured apprenticeship involves a four-step process: modeling, assisting, empowering, and fully releasing the apprentice into leadership while offering continued guidance. When it comes to graduation apprentices, it’s about setting clear expectations, equipping them with what they need, and providing ongoing encouragement and support as they step into their role.
Matt Millar also shares key questions to ask apprentices and practical ways to make apprenticeship a core part of your ministry’s culture.

Join Steve Sonderman for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Crawford Loritts as they discuss the profound impact of mentoring and why it’s essential for every man. Dr. Loritts challenges men to remove boundaries and barriers, step into the role of hope-givers, and invest in the next generation of leaders.
Mentorship isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about being available, accessible, and intentional. As older men, we have the opportunity to guide younger ones by sharing our failures, praying with them, and providing the encouragement they need to grow. True leadership is about taking your God-given equity and using it to empower those around you.
They also explore the concept of finishing well—how living well each day leads to a strong finish. Decision precedes development, and responding to God in the moment shapes the legacy we leave behind.
This conversation will equip and encourage you in the ministry God has called you to, helping you embrace mentorship as a calling and a privilege.

Listen as these two men share their hearts and what's behind what they've been doing for the last 20 plus years. So listen to the podcast this week on The Forge.
Lots of men in the church today that sort of have the Peter Pan mentality. I just don't want to grow up. Lots of men in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who are still acting like spiritual babies, right? Just making messes all over the place. Well, in this podcast, we want to talk about how do we help the men of our church grow, to spiritually mature, and to become spiritual adults.

Hey men, this week we are continuing our series on Leadership 101. This week we talk about the three different qualities that makes a good leader. Don't forget to leave a review and share the podcast!
This week, we are kicking off a series with Steve Sonderman and Troy Thomas all about Leadership. What it takes to be a leader, challenges in leadership, the qualities of a leader, and the basics of what leadership is. This week we are starting with what is Christian Leadership.
A prayerless life is a powerless life; yet many men struggle with prayer. Derwin will teach how to become powerful by learning how to pray like Jesus.
Far too often, our lives are overwhelmed by the demands of work, family, and social circles, leaving little time for meaningful connection with God. In this session, we will answer questions such as; how can men provide for their families and enjoy life in a sustainable way? What does it mean to honor the Sabbath? What’s the best way to lead a life marked by productivity and rest?
GI Joe heroes used to famously say, “Knowing is half the battle!”. Men can know the results of temptation but too few understand the tactics of “how” temptation is disguised and creeps into our lives. We’ll learn the story of Achan and see how temptation broke him and nearly broke his nation and how we can be stronger.
Age, job or achievements do not automatically make a boy a man; it is the way he chooses to live his life. Brian describes five characteristics that mark authentic manhood; a vision for life, the courage to take a minor position, a team player’s mindset, a strong work ethic, and the ability to be a gracious protector. In this session, learn to embrace these characteristics and create a new path of strength and integrity to become the person God intended.
This week we have Bob Merritt from Eagle Brook Church in St. Paul, MN. Steve and Bob talk about pain in leadership, how to deal with it, how to surround yourself with a good team and how to be authentic while in leadership.

Most Christians divide the world into two categories; sacred and secular.

No Regrets signs veteran leader, prepares for Conference push
BROOKFIELD, Wis. - No Regrets Men’s Ministry announced this week the signing of veteran leader Ron Sweet as its new Director of Church Engagement. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Sweet, 52, joins No Regrets with more than 30 years of church ministry experience including assignments in Virginia, Florida and most recently Missouri.
As the leader of one of the largest ministries to men in the greater St. Louis area, Sweet exits his post as campus pastor at The Crossing in order to help bolster No Regrets’ church relations.
“Ron brings a wealth of experience to our team,” said Steve Sonderman, founder and executive director of the ministry. “It is great to get some veteran help as we grow and expand the team. We were looking for the right guy who can get out there and build relationships and be the relational arm of our ministry.”
Originally from a small town in northern Illinois, Sweet attended Judson University in Elgin, IL where he played two seasons for the Eagles Men’s Basketball team. To this day, the 6-1 former prep standout enjoys working out, watching college football and basketball as well as attending music concerts.
“Ron is a great character guy, said Sonderman. “He brings a real heart for the local church and has strong relational skills that will enable him to relate well to churches across the country.” Upon earning his undergraduate degree, Sweet entered vocational ministry as an intern at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, IL before eventually taking a positon as a full-time youth pastor in Florida where he met his wife Michele. The couple of twenty-five years now have three children (21, 19, and 17).
Sweet’s pastoral experience include positions overseeing youth, young adult, men and a multi-sitevcampus. His greatest strength is in the area of ministry to men. After attending a No Regrets Conference at Elmbrook Church in 2020, Sweet returned to his church with a vision to reach the men of St. Louis and proceeded to develop the men’s ministry from a handful of individuals to more than 400 strong in just two years.
“Ron’s passion for the Lord and drive for excellence will make him a great fit in our organization,” said ministry director Dan Wetzel. I only wish Ron were a Brewers fan.”
When asked to respond, Sweet admitted he is a loyal Chicago Cubs fan but added he is “often broken hearted.”
Sweet’s addition to the team comes just in time for the build up to the annual No Regrets Conference, set for Saturday, February 3, 2024.
This week we are throwing it back to a seminar from the 30th No Regrets Men's Conference by Mark Batterson titled Play the Man. The will of God is not an insurance plan, it’s a dangerous plan. Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. It’s time to take up your cross and go all in with God. God is calling a generation of men to step up—as husbands, as fathers, as friends—and play the man.
Brett Clemmer is the president of Man in the Mirror Ministries and has just come out with a new book called the Spiritual Father Guidebook which details how any man can mentor another man. What does mentoring look like and how can we be apart of that? Listen in to find out!
Most ministries simply do not have a plan to engage their men in an effective, healthy, Christian community. That’s why No Regrets has developed a leadership cohort that will help you as a leader develop that very plan and build your ministry to men. Afterwards, the men in your church and community will be actively involved in a vital, life-changing, ministry to men. Join our latest cohort starting on October 16th, 2023!
What is DiscipleMaker 101 and why should I take it? What does it mean to be a disciple maker anyway? Steve and Troy dive in to one of our fantastic training resources we offer here at No Regrets and how it is a valuable resource for you to take!
Getting deep and connecting with men in a small group can be a challenge but Bill Search has been engaging men in small groups for years and has cracked the code on how to best utilize small groups to reach the men in your church and in your life.
Why are small groups important and how can we best use them to lead people to Christ? Dann Spader and Steve Sonderman talk through how Small Groups can be life changing ways to bring men to Christ.

Steve Sonderman here and I’m excited to bring this conference talk to you today by Chris Brown. Chris will be a speaker at the 2023 Conference coming up on Saturday Feb 4th, so we wanted to replay one of the most popular talks he’s given.
Bringing us into the world of Scripture, Chris Brown invites us to look at the last few moments of Jesus’ life. The disciples find a room to celebrate the passover in, Jesus washes their feet, serves them a meal, then goes to a cross to die. All moments of incredible faith, powerful servanthood, and a reason to influence the world around you.
Therefore, I invite you to listen in on one of the most popular conference talks of all time: Chris Brown’s closing keynote speech at the 2018 No Regrets Conference at Elmbrook Church in Brookfield Wisconsin. Entitled: Influencing Your World.
If you like what you hear, and want to experience the full power of the Conference, you can register your spot today for only $40 at www.noregretsconference.org – students get half off ticket prices.
Thanks so much for listening, here’s Chris…
