Honest conversations. Practical insights. Smarter leadership.


Hosted by Tim Stevens and Holly Tate, The LeadingSmart Podcast exists to equip church leaders who care deeply about leading with integrity, clarity, and wisdom—even when it’s hard.


In Season One, we’re diving into a topic most churches avoid until it’s too late: pastoral succession. Over 10 episodes, we’ll pull back the curtain on one of the most critical and complex leadership conversations in the Church today.


Whether you’re a senior pastor beginning to ask “what’s next?”, a board member trying to plan for the future, or a staff leader walking through change, this season will give you the tools, language, and courage to navigate succession well.


Here’s what you can expect each week:


Insight from decades of experience helping churches through transition


Honest stories from the frontlines


Tangible takeaways you can apply with your team, board, or congregation


And of course…our weekly Rants & Raves on everything from leadership to soft pants 😄


Because the truth is: Succession isn’t a moment. It’s a mindset. And it starts long before you think you’re ready.
