I keep it on a pretty good rotation when it comes to listening to other pastors, and communicators by way of podcast. There is so much great stuff available to us these days by way of the web and podcasting. Today while I worked, I caught part of a talk by Brian Houston, pastor of Hillsong Church, and part of a Willow Creek podcast. Yesterday I caught part of a sermon from Fellowship Church and part of one from Granger. And last week I caught a talk from Erwin McManus and one from from Francis Chan. Lots of different styles and types of presentations--but lots of gold nuggets! All that to say this--Here are a couple of quotes from Bishop TD Jakes. You should check him out sometime by podcast. He has an "in your face approach", and never holds back but says some really good stuff:
“The cost of leadership is conflict.”
“If you aren’t experiencing conflict, you’re not a leader–you’re a follower.”
“People generally admire their leaders best when they are dead.” “The breaking stage is the blessing stage.”
“Leadership is really spelled loneliness.”
**Who are you learning from? Who is challenging you? Are you using your drive time wisely?

Being in sales, I spend a lot of time on the road and listen to podcasts regularly. Three of my favorites are Craig Groeschel from Lifechurch.tv, Perry Noble from Newspring and Greg Surratt from Seacoast. Like you say, different styles but always great challenges. Thanks for the fresh ideas.
