What happens when ministries stop guarding what they’ve built and start building together?

Jamie spent nearly two decades in politics and public policy, mastering coalition building and voter engagement. After an unsuccessful Senate campaign, she asked a bold question: what if those same tools could help people take their next step toward Jesus?

In this episode, Rob sits down with Jamie, President and CEO of ExploreGod, to talk about what she found when she moved from politics into ministry. Discover why Jamie was surprised by the scarcity mindset she found inside Christian ministry after leaving politics, how a chance conversation at Lausanne led to the formation of the 153 Collective, and what it looks like for two organizations to share budgets, staff, data, and partners on a single build. Rob and Jamie also walk through the merger that first brought Jamie into ExploreGod, and why she believes humility and the freedom to fail fast are prerequisites for real kingdom collaboration.

The conversation was recorded the same day ExploreGod and OneHope signed an agreement to build PATH, a shared digital evangelism and discipleship platform they hope to make available to churches and ministries everywhere.

If you care about digital evangelism, ministry partnership, or how the next generation encounters the gospel online, this conversation offers a practical picture of collaborative missiology at work.

What if your greatest contribution as a leader isn’t having the right answers, but asking the questions that help others discover what they already know?

Rob Hoskins sits down with his longtime friend Craig Groeschel, founder and senior pastor of Life.Church and host of the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast, to explore the overlooked art of asking great questions. From going beyond the first answer to uncovering insights others might miss, Craig shares how genuine curiosity and intentional listening can transform ordinary conversations into opportunities for discovery and growth.

They explore why the most revealing question is sometimes the opposite of the obvious one, how to recognize and communicate the “gold” buried in someone’s response, and why effective communication must move beyond what people know to what they feel and do. Whether you’re leading a team, mentoring a young leader, or discipling the next generation, discover how better questions can help you draw out the wisdom in others and equip them to grow.

In This Episode
- Why great leaders ask better questions instead of rushing to provide answers
- How curiosity and thoughtful follow-up uncover deeper wisdom
- The art of listening for the “gold” and helping others articulate it
- Why unexpected questions can reveal insights familiar questions miss
- How to communicate for what people know, feel, and do

What if the greatest opportunity for evangelism isn’t reaching more people ourselves, but equipping more believers to share Jesus with the people around them?

On this episode of The Missional Leader, Rob Hoskins sits down with Pastor Miles McPherson, founder of Rock Church and Just 1, to explore how the Church can reclaim evangelism as a calling for every believer. Miles shares how a simple, 30–60-second testimony can help anyone share their faith with confidence, overcome the fear of difficult conversations, and trust the Holy Spirit to transform hearts. Discover how missional leaders can move beyond inviting people to hear the Gospel to equipping a generation to share it.

In This Episode:
- Why evangelism belongs at the heart of discipleship
- How a simple testimony can equip anyone to share their faith
- Overcoming fear and trusting the Holy Spirit with the outcome
- Mobilizing the next generation to reach their peers
- How the Just 1 Challenge helps believers take the first step

What if Christian hope isn’t about escaping this world, but about seeing it made new?

In this inaugural episode of Season 3, Rob Hoskins sits down with renowned New Testament scholar Dr. N.T. Wright and theologian Dr. Jesse Stone at Oxford to explore what the Holy Spirit is doing in the space between the resurrection of Jesus and the renewal of all things. Together, they challenge an “escape to heaven” vision of Christianity and recover a bigger biblical story: God is not abandoning His creation. He is renewing it and forming His people to embody that future in the world today.

Drawing from Acts 2, Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 15, and Wright’s newest book God’s Homecoming, they explore what this vision means for Spirit-empowered mission, suffering, evangelism, the Church, and Christian leadership. If the Spirit is preparing us not simply to leave the world but to become people of new creation, how should that reshape the way we lead, serve, suffer, and bear witness today?

For missional leaders, the question is ultimately bigger than what we believe about the end times: What kind of people is the Spirit forming us to become - and what does our life together reveal about the future God has promised?

What if the future of global mission isn’t about going solo, but about radical collaboration? In this special episode of The Missional Leader, Rob unpacks the powerful story and personal conviction centered on “collaborative missiology” – a movement transforming how the Church approaches God’s mission in the 21st century.

Drawing from his experience growing up on the mission field and decades of leadership at OneHope, Rob traces the dramatic journey of missions: from the passionate Moravians and the resistance-defying William Carey to the profound turning points at Edinburgh 1910 and today’s explosive growth of the Church in the Global South. Discover how historic models, once shaped by Western influence, are giving way to global, indigenous leadership and “from everywhere to everywhere” mission.

You’ll hear unforgettable moments, including the convicting words of Samuel Azaria at Edinburgh that still echo today, and Rob’s own watershed realization that the Great Commission is simply too big for any one organization to carry alone. Learn why the Church’s greatest impact comes from cultivating networks of trust, generosity, and shared vision – and how innovations like the Bible App for Kids, massive Bible translation collaborations, and “plural-verse” missiology are reshaping the landscape.
Whether you’re a leader, a pastor, or passionate about cross-cultural mission, this episode will challenge and invite you: Will you pursue God’s mission independently, or choose to step boldly into true partnership with God’s people around the world?

What separates leaders who endure from those who burn out? Often, it’s not vision - it’s governance.

In this episode of The Missional Leader, Rob sits down with Mart Green - a respected business leader, philanthropist, and architect behind some of today’s most influential faith-driven ventures - to explore why lasting impact is built through accountability, trusted partnerships, and courageous leadership. Mart serves as Ministry Investment Officer for Hobby Lobby, Founder of Mardel, and now champions global Gospel initiatives through his leadership with Come and See and Come Near.

Drawing from decades of experience leading at the highest levels of business and ministry, Mart shares practical insights on the critical balance between leadership and governance. From helping guide Oral Roberts University through crisis to collaborating on Christian media initiatives, he unpacks why organizations often fail not because of weak leadership, but because of weak structures of accountability.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:

• Why governance is essential for both personal and professional leadership
• How to build “adventure partnerships” rooted in trust and honest accountability
• The difference between bold vision and sustainable leadership
• Practical wisdom for building relationships and structures that stand the test of time

Whether you’re leading a team, serving on a board, or growing in your own leadership journey, this episode offers timeless insight for leading with purpose, resilience, and integrity.

What does it take to lead a nextgen movement - before your 30th birthday? In this episode of The Missional Leader, Rob Hoskins sits down with Charlie Hughes, a dynamic young preacher making waves in South Florida as the leader of Rally, a thriving young adult ministry based at First Baptist Fort Lauderdale and Church by the Glades.

Church by the Glades is a thriving megachurch reaching more than 9,000 each week, while First Baptist carries historic legacy right in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Together, Rob and Charlie unpack the surprising soil that’s cultivating the next generation of church leaders. Charlie shares candidly about growing up as a pastor's kid, what it was like preaching his very first sermon at age 16 (and why it was both his worst and most formative), and the balancing act of authenticity and stewardship when stepping into significant responsibility at a young age.

Key moments you won’t want to miss:

• The real reason Charlie wasn’t nervous preaching as a teen—and how that resulted in a crash course on preparation, humility, and growth.
• The behind-the-scenes “soil” of his upbringing: how consistent, authentic faith in his family shaped his love for Jesus, love for people, and approach to ministry.
• The secrets to building leadership capacity as the crowds grew, and why discipline, initiative, and the courage to be entrusted with more are essential for young leaders.

This episode is an inspiring, practical look at how authenticity, entrustment, and sacrificial discipline are forming a new generation of missional leaders - plus, encouragement for both young leaders stepping up and those looking to empower the next generation.
