In this episode, I sit down with Charles Stone, a seasoned pastor with over 40 years of experience in ministry, having served in roles such as lead pastor, associate pastor, and church planter. Charles has written seven books and contributed over 300 articles to prominent Christian leadership platforms. He holds four advanced degrees, including a Ph.D., and has extensively studied the intersection of neuroscience and leadership, focusing on managing stress in ministry. Charles has coached and trained over 3,000 leaders across seven countries. In our conversation, we explore how he integrates biblical principles with brain-based strategies to equip pastors for leadership. He also shares insights into his personal life, ministry experiences, and leadership development.
