I just hit “publish” on Episode 150 of the Wholehearted Leadership podcast, and I wanted to personally thank you for being part of this journey.

Five years ago I started with nothing but John Eldredge’s Daily Prayer as the very first episode. Today, after 150 conversations with incredible leaders, authors, and friends, I still feel like we’re just warming up — still on lap one together.

In this solo episode I open up about:

• The honor of stewarding this message of wholehearted, integrated leadership
• What I’ve learned from generous mentors who poured into me off-mic
• Why hiding or protecting the unique gifts God has given you is actually selfishness
• A simple but powerful journaling rhythm that’s keeping me grounded right now:
  • 3–5 Micro-Gratitudes from the day before
  • Fears – What am I afraid of today?
  • Feelings – What am I feeling because of that fear?
  • Focus – What do I need from the Lord today?
  • Desires – Boldly naming the dreams on my heart

I also share why slowing down, asking meaningful questions, and staying curious about your own story matters so much.

One humble ask from me to you:

If this podcast has encouraged you in your identity, marriage, or vocation in any way, would you do two small things?

1. Leave a 5-star review + a short written review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. This helps the algorithm and helps other leaders who are hungry for gospel-centered content actually find the show.
2. Hit reply and tell me:
   • What you’ve loved most about the podcast so far
   • What you want more of
   • Any feedback that would help us grow this together

Your voice truly matters. I don’t need the praise, but there are many lonely leaders out there who need to know this kind of conversation exists.

As a thank-you, I’m leaving you with the exact journaling prompts I’m using right now. I hope they serve you as much as they’ve served me.

Thank you again for listening, for sharing, and for walking this leadership journey with me.

Be Strong, Lantz Howard Align your identity, marriage, and vocation–so you can lead wholeheartedly. ​​​​​
