The Tim Ahlman Podcast will have three primary focuses.

1. Leadership: Learning from “experts” in a variety of vocations (within and outside of the LCMS) and applying their expertise to leadership life in the local church. These conversations will largely focus on developing and maintaining a healthy culture in our various vocations. Over 60% of you in the recent survey said you wanted to talk about healthy culture.
2. Learn: Deep Theological Discussion. I will host many scholars to aid in our understanding of Christ popping off every page of Holy Scripture. We will work hard to apply our theological discussion to the post-Christian America where we find ourselves. 60% of you in our recent survey said you wanted to hear more on this topic. This is where there will be consistency with the American Reformation podcast.
3. Live: Highlighting Healthy Habits for leaders in all vocations. I truly believe Jesus followers should be the holistically healthiest leaders on planet earth.
