Sandbox Podcast (How To Lead Leaders): Recent Episodes
Wildorado
It's one thing to lead people... it's quite another to lead other leaders.
It's not the easiest thing in the world, but there are some tips that can make it a whole lot easier.
EASTER IS THE SUPER BOWL OF MINISTRY. IN GOOD WAYS AND NOT-SO GREAT WAYS.
- Listen to old music and sermons and remember what it was like to hear them for the first time.
- Feel permission to let that memory stir up a fresh perspective that gives ministry a reignited approach.

IF MINISTRY IS A BOAT... YOUR TEAM CAN EITHER SAIL OR ROW.
- Sails: Let’s see if this works.
- Rowing: We’re headed in this direction no matter what.
(Patient is not the same as passive.)
***TRUST EARLY TRUST OFTEN.

EASTER COMES EARLY THIS YEAR!

Let's change the narrative for the better!
(I'm sure Jesus will appreciate it.)

DIFFERENT STYLES REQUIRE DIFFERENT APPROACHES.
-
How does your team communicated during the week?
-
Are you in need of something to help your structure OR are you needing a structure?
It's not about where you're wanting to go as a team... but realizing what you're doing now... is already taking you somewhere.
Better make sure it's the right direction!

THE YEAR IS IN FULL SWING... AND SO CAN BE YOUR INTENTIONS.

People will surprise you.
(In a good way.)

"NOSTALGIA" ISN'T ABOUT A TIME PERIOD. IT'S ABOUT THE FEELING THAT TIME PERIOD GAVE YOU.
There are two versions of "Nostalgia":
1) The kind that evolves.
- Invites you into the feeling so it can expand and grow.
2) The kind that embalms.
- It excludes you from the feeling for the sake of independent experience.

SINCERITY AGES WELL. LET'S CHOOSE IT MORE OFTEN.
What "young people" do today... our grandparents will do 3-5 years from now.
So it might be helpful to realize its less about trends that get results and more about the feelings behind the screens that have the potential to bear fruit.
Let's steer clear of hollow messaging, when we could be full of purpose-defining calls.

IT'S NOT ALWAYS WHAT YOU DO... IT'S ALSO HOW YOU DO IT.
For many of us 2023 was a long and difficult year.
We might not have been treated fairly or given the opportunities to blossom into our potential.
But we're still here.
We're still able to try again with a fresh perspective.
Thank you for everything you weren't told "thank you" for.
It mattered then and it still matters now.
Let's see where a fresh consistency can take us from here!

JANUARY CAN START YOU STRONG OR START YOU BLURRY.
January has everyone excited.
For a little while.
That's where we can approach the month with more realistic expectations that will lead to more fruitful results in ourselves and the things we attempt.
There's nothing magical about a month, but there is something substantial about a unified mindset.
Let's address the conversations that are in our imaginations and see a shift that the rest of our year can feel the momentum from!

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE "ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE" AND "THE UNIQUENESS OF THE COMMUNICATOR".
Its one thing to speak through language.
Its another thing to have a perspective that makes someone want to listen to what you have to say.
Trends and algorithms will change consistently.
(As they should.)
But the uniqueness of who you are will always be your most valuable magnet for gaining attention in your social media management strategies.
Do the TikTok dance... but wear your own pants.
Whatever that means.

ALLOW US TO REINTRODUCE OURSELVES!
We're back in a new way and ready for brand new conversations.
Concepts and principles are priceless in value, but can be hollow outside of practical applications.
That's where we want to help bridge the gap from where we are to where we want to be.
And we believe there's a practical way forward.
Join the ride!

Have you experienced "passive aggressiveness"?
- You’re frustrated enough to be annoyed but not mad enough to speak.
- There’s nothing too passive about it or “subtle”.
You can communicate without negative confrontation... and you can be honest without breaking up unity.

There is a pivotal difference between boundaries and walls.
- A boundary is a parameter.
- A wall is an obstacle.
- A wall is created where a boundary was not stewarded.
Walls may be easier/efficient… but that doesn’t make them healthy/fruitful.

Tyler Richardson breaks down the difference in "settling" and "pushing forward". What separates the two? Anger.
- We all have a capacity to be capable of more.
- Being grateful... and being focused... don't have to be mutually exclusive.
When it comes to where we could be and where we are... we have a choice on how angry we have to be about it. Then act accordingly.

Tyler Richardson talks about the danger of "taking the bait" from people and situations.
- Every second of every day... has a reason to chill and do something else... but we can't bow to the moment.
- It's not just about taking the bait to freak out... it's also about not taking the bait to settle.
We can make up your mind to be kind, humble, etc., because we made up our mind to do it... otherwise we’ll always be a mirror of our environment(s).
Mind your business and be about your business... and you'll be able to ignore the bait... instead of just not taking it.
The choice is ours.

Tyler Richardson talks about how there's a difference between "resting" and being lazy. OR another way to put it... "Am I satisfied or am I settling?"
- Do I have to put a lot of effort into being/staying motivated? Or do I have to manage the core of my motivation?
- Do I lean towards what works or what is possible?
When the world feels out of control... we tend to make the world around us settle in to what can “by us some time”... and then when we get our feet back on stable ground... we’ll put in more effort. But that often doesn’t work out the way we’d assume/hope.
What’s the compass that’s leading us?
Depending on the answer... we can be sure that's where we’re headed.

- You can take responsibility, without being a martyr.

Tyler Richardson presents an idea of what actually separates compliments from insults and why it might not be what's obvious.
- Preferences are our filters for how we see the world.
- If we're not careful, those filters will become barriers that keep us from people and vice versa.

Tyler Richardson addresses how sometimes what separates us from where we're frustrated... to where we could be getting momentum... is a consistent/simple reminder that there's "better" worth getting to.
- It's far too easy to get lazy when you can't remember what you're supposed to e actively pursuing.
- We have the ability to bridge the divide in our lives.

Tyler Richardson discusses how easy it is to let other people's "craziness"... make us crazy.
- We can't become rude/backbiting, just because someone is making a bad decision.
- When you talk about crazy people/organizations... you expand the influence of their voice... instead of letting yours be heard.
- When we get hurt... we can't allow that hurt to become a filter that we then communicate/decipher/interact through.
- People's behavior/personalities can become a crutch for us to make excuses for why it's okay to pick them apart, but we can't give in!

Tyler Richardson discusses how often we confuse what we'd like to do for work... with what what we'd like to work on.
- Just because you like worship doesn’t mean you need to be a worship leader.
- Just because you spend hours on Instagram... doesn’t mean you need to be a social media manager.
- Pay attention to what moves you and what makes you think.
- Do you just think “this makes me angry” or do you also think “why don’t they try this?”

Tyler Richardson is back to discuss how quitting looks like a sudden event... but it’s flirted with inch by inch. Sometimes it even takes the person who quits by surprise (emotionally).
• There are 3 steps to help us avoid the cliff.
• The steps toward the cliff aren’t so much about the possibilities of what it would be like to fall off... BUT what the options are on the other side of the cliff... that I can't see where I’m currently at.
• It’s always more fun to jump... than be pushed.
• Make decisions instead of being manipulated... the people you lead will be glad you learned the difference.

Tyler Richardson discusses how we can easily work too hard performing tasks that we're smarter than. We can spend a lot of time sharpening the person we’re supposed to be... or appearing to be the person that’s “celebrated”, but making a plan to plan can help us avoid that trap.
• If it doesn’t naturally matter to you... ask if it’s supposed to. If not... then be okay with that... if it’s really needed... then God can open your eyes to the one who is naturally fit to help operate it.
• Rest isn’t waste... but being lazy is.
• As long as there’s a frustration... there’s still an opportunity to find a solution.

Tyler Richardson breaks down the differences between being tough and being rude. The difference is a purpose. If you’re being tough it’s because you have a purpose... if you’re being rude... it’s because you have a problem.
- When there’s not a purpose... you’re causing a chain reaction of harm... when there is a purpose... you’re causing a chain reaction of healing.
- Better leaders have the patience to examine... to listen to those that are also examining... to think on what could be real/imagined... AND needed/changed.

Tyler Richardson walks us through the various ways that could make Planning Center unnecessary for many of our teams and churches. Organization and planning can be the "secret sauce" that we didn't realize could set us free!
- PCO is expensive... unless you have the budget where you wouldn’t miss the funds... don’t get it.
- Make plans for where you wanna go... not where you feel like you’ll always be.

https://www.facebook.com/officialharpandbowl/
Tyler Richardson breaks down what makes certain situations explode. It's not just because sensitivity is involved... or even sharp subjects or words... it's the way they are combined or rubbed against each other in a harsh way that causes the pop! You can have hard conversations without being a harsh communicator, creator, leader, team player, etc.

https://www.facebook.com/officialharpandbowl/
Tyler Richardson discusses the art of creating in the awkward environments that can happen, due to being with people you don't naturally see yourself creating with. You can't dive in and figure out if you can swim once you're in the water... you have to make up your mind if you're up to the task before you jump!
http://www.harpandbowl.org/sandbox
https://instagram.com/harpandbowl/
https://www.facebook.com/officialharpandbowl/
Tyler Richardson takes us a little further into the conversation of "direction" and where we doomed to miss it... if we don't know what where we're supposed to be aiming. We can shoot with arrows... or we can shoot with water balloons... but if we're ever gonna be who we're capable of becoming... we have to shoot!

https://www.facebook.com/officialharpandbowl/
Tyler Richardson walks us through the "tension" that can be found when picking sides... whether the sides are people, ideas, departments or beyond! We all have the ability to pull a little... give a little... or if nothing else... stand on the sidelines and cheer on both potentials!
http://www.harpandbowl.org/sandbox
https://instagram.com/harpandbowl/
https://www.facebook.com/officialharpandbowl/
Tyler Richardson helps us define what "fragile" may look like... and how it may develop/change from case to case, but that there's an art to making sure it doesn't steal your focus. We have to know before we start... what matters to us... and what we're not exactly married to... and what matters in-between.

Tyler Richardson shows us some of the benefits in creating our own individual mission/vision statements and core values for who we are WHY we do it... or at least why we would like to try to do it. Camp only lasts so long... so we'll be able to try something else... but for the time being... let's commit to joy... not just finishing.

Tyler Richardson continues our "Creative Camp Summer Sessions" with the ideas of what's new... what we can become. Sometimes people don't finish the conversation of who they are and what they want to create and be... but that shouldn't affect the story that God is writing in and through us. When we walk into a room... into a group of people... into a project... do we elevate the possibilities or oblige what's accepted?

Tyler Richardson kicks off for us the first episode of the Creative Camp Summer Sessions for The Sandbox Podcast! The first day of camp is the day where we let go of what we're familiar with to open ourselves up to what's available. We are not the talents we have... successes we achieve... or the places we come from... we are who we are... and it's time for our endless possibilities!

Tyler Richardson discusses the high pressure situational moments that can trap us in pressuring women to act like men... instead of giving them the freedom to lead. When we lead each other without threatening each other... we lead to further places. **THIS IS NOT THE USUAL MALE/FEMALE DEBATE... SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THAT YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED... BUT IF YOU WANT TO LEAD OTHER LEADERS THEN YOU JUST MIGHT LIKE IT.

Tyler "re-introduces" us to the possibility to not only co-exist with leaders... but co-lead with them as well. It's not just about being in charge... it's about being a part of the sandbox. It's one thing to lead people... it's QUITE another to lead other leaders.
