2026 Calibrate Life Relaunch Trailer

2026/01/13

The Calibrate Life and Leadership Podcast is back and relaunching as a weekly podcast after a 5 year break. This podcast has always been about calibrating our lives because as leaders, and as Christ-followers, we must experience transformation before we can lead transformation. It's about pressing beyond the tough stuff and discovering the joy of living, leading, and loving, because life is a great adventure that is meant to be joyfully lived. If you've followed this podcast before, you will notice something familiar — and something new. We are a little older. We've lived a bit more life, on more continents and we've learned a few more The heart of the Calibrate Life & Leadership Podcast hasn't changed. We are still on a journey — and it's out of that journey that we speak. In this new season of the podcast, we'll continue the conversation about living leading, and loving, and the transformation that sustains it all.

151 Grieving the Death of Normal

2020/09/19

We've heard people talking about a "new normal" or "when things get back to normal." It occurred to us that sometimes "normal" gives way to a new reality full of purpose, hope, and opportunity. Having lived through a deep grief process, we've simply recognized a grief process at work in the world around us. In this episode we are talking about "Grieving the Death of Normal."

150 The Power of Saying "Yes" to Adversity

2020/04/25

Embracing adversity, being willing to say "yes" to the tough stuff gives us new lenses to see things differently, it exercises atrophied muscles needed for new adventures and callings, and it deconstructs our inferior plans to make way for God's excellent plans. In this episode we talk about saying "yes" to adversity in expectation of the joys ahead. Notes and resources for this episode: https://calibrate360.com/150

2020/04/16

146 Overcoming Shiny-Object Syndrome

2020/02/12

You can do anything you want to do but you can't do everything you want to do. Shiny-object Syndrome is the urge to chase and engage things that get your attention. The problem is, there are too many opportunities, too many shiny objects, more interesting and compelling things than we have time or resources to chase. In this episode we talk about managing our shiny-object syndrome. Notes and resources for this episode: https://calibrate360.com/146

145 Putting the Margin Back into Our Lives

2020/01/24

Margin is the blank spaces on a document that defines its borders and makes it readable and functional. We need margin in our lives. It is the spaces, the blanks, that make everything else work. REST, health, well-being, effectiveness and many other things are elusive if we don't mind the blank spaces. In this episode of the Calibrate Life Podcast we talk about putting the margin back in. Notes and resources for this episode: https://calibrate360.com/145

144 The Pursuit of REST

2020/01/16

The "gold" of our lives comes from the ability to rest in the Presence of God, learning to zone down, learning to listen. In this episode we talk about our renewed commitment to really learn to rest, to have abiding peace in the midst of chaos. Notes and resources for this episode: https://calibrate360.com/144

143 Sacrifice: How Do You Know When it's Not Enough?

2019/11/08

How do you know when you aren't sacrificing enough? In last week's episode we discussed how to know when we are sacrificing too much out of the wrong motivation, and this week we look at the other side of the coin. Notes and resources for this episode: https://calibrate360.com/143

142 Sacrifice

2019/10/31

Life is simply full of sacrifices. As a matter of normal course, we often give up something we care about or love to gain something we care about or love more. Sacrifice embraces change and transition as we let go of important things to gain more important things. Notes and resources for this episode: https://calibrate360.com/142

141 You Really Can Turn Your Vision Into Reality!

2019/10/11

Your actions, habits, and practices accomplish the things in your heart. Spiritually minded people are good at experiencing God, but often, not so good at obeying God. Obedience always translates into actions, and if you have a dream or an intention that just never gets translated into reality, what you need to work on is taking action. Notes and resources for this episode: https://calibrate360.com/141

140 Reckless

2019/10/03

Today's topic is a little controversial, even to me, but we think it is on target. It's foolish to do something negotiable without counting the cost. It is foolish to NOT do something non-negotiable whether you have counted the cost or not. This is recklessness. I have decided, I need to live life with more recklessness. Notes and resources for this episode: https://calibrate360.com/140

139 Bandwidth: Capacities, Indictors & Gauges

2019/09/20

Bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time. It has also come to be used as a term referring to the mental, physical, emotional, intellectual, and even spiritual capacity required to deal with a situation.
