Lead Your Life is a new podcast, launched at the end of January, that provides fresh, actionable content every month to encourage, inspire, and challenge everyone to live their life to their full potential. It is ideal for ministers, church members, and unchurched people.
The inspiration for this project came about when one of our pastors, Vikram Panchal, was searching for inspiring podcasts on leadership and personal development. The content he discovered encouraged Vikram to put into practice what he was learning on achieving personal goals, leading his young family, and stepping out in courage to grow his church.
Not wanting to keep the incredible things he was learning secret, Vikram wondered if he could share these things through a podcast series, by interviewing people he genuinely desired to learn more from, in various areas such as leadership, time management, finding forgiveness, achieving optimum health, building wholistic families and more.
He soon discovered the road to creating a podcast is not easy. Spending countless hours in researching audio equipment for podcasting, learning to edit audio files, and all the work that goes into it was at times daunting but the thought of the final content being a blessing to others inspired Vikram persevere.
He gives a big shout out to Brad Martin from Faith FM who would Zoom with him out of hours, training and helping create the final product for the first podcast. Vikram is also grateful to Luke Farrugia from the Aus Table Talk podcast, for his help and encouragement.
“Without the help of others this podcast would not be possible,” says Vikram. “I now invite you to listen to the first podcasts and share them with your friends and church members and get them excited. Drop a comment of encouragement on Facebook so we can create an online learning community to help build each other!”
