Eleven Years

Gregg is interviewed by longtime friend and colleague, Stephen Smith, and shares the insights he's learned after eleven years of ministry at Houston's First Baptist. The pastor has learned four main lessons -- (1) that things take more time than he thought, (2) to be uber-prepared,(3) to celebrate achievements along the way and not just when they're finished and (4) to love people and teach the Word.

Feedback

Pastor Gregg Matte talks about how to receive feedback. Like all of us, he appreciates positive, constructive words, but even in those that don't fit that category, sometimes you can find nuggets of truth to build on while dismissing the less-constructive, more personal parts.

Leadership Stinks, Part 1

Gregg talks about the downside of leadership. We explore what God is calling us to and how He equips us serve those around us.

Leadership Stinks, Part 2

Leadership is tough, but worth the pain. In this second episode, Gregg reframes the idea and challenge of leadership as abiding in Christ and making the call.

Shared Values

In this episode, we explore some key staff values that have been introduced over the years at Houston's First. These are highly transferrable the for the individual and other organizations. Listen now as we explore the benefits of a shared mind when it comes to Godliness, Effectiveness, and Excellence in the workplace.

The Batter's Box

In the episode, we discuss the value of preparation and how it kills panic in the moment. Although we trace Gregg's usual routine on Sundays, it applies directly to how you might embrace good preparation for those moments when you feel are in the batter's box and need to produce.
