Standing Strong at the Intersection of Faith and Culture: Larry Ross

Brave Men Podcast - A podcast by Paul Louis Cole

When the weight of leadership presses upon your shoulders, where do you find your footing? Join me, Paul Louis Cole, alongside my good friend, communications specialist Larry Ross. He was the seasoned voice behind the legendary evangelist Billy Graham for over three decades and his expertise has helped amplify the message of thought leaders such as Rick Warren, Bishop Jakes, The Jesus Film, Tony Evans and many others. We tackle the challenges of being men of integrity in the public eye - from the strategic significance of public faith and leadership to the impact of personal relationships on our spiritual practices. Fatherhood and ministry often pull at the seams of a man's life, demanding a delicate balance that can feel impossible to achieve. We get into the grit of our own upbringing, recognizing the silent sacrifices made by our fathers and the influence it casts on the next generation. Our conversation weaves through the Christian Men's Network's mission to cultivate enduring discipleship in local churches, with the promise of seeing the power of God transform families and nations alike. We hit the issues of today’s pastoral life. From burnout to imposter syndrome, we discuss the necessity for a brotherhood of support, grounding our identities in Christ above all else. We consider the Modesto Manifesto's principles and how such commitments can fortify one's ministry against the storms of scandal and temptation. Join Larry and me in this candid discussion that promises a blueprint for integrity, purpose, and transformative leadership within men's ministry. Brave Men is a production of the Christian Men’s Network. A global movement that is helping pastors and leaders disciple men in over 100 nations.
