Welcome to the Carrie Newhoff Leadership Podcast. A podcast all about leadership

host Carrie Newhoff.

Well hey everybody and welcome to episode 149 of the podcast.

My name is Carrie Newhoff and I hope our time together today helps you lead like never before.

I'm really intrigued by today's guest.

His name is Chris Valleton and I know a lot of you probably

know him. He's from Bethel Church in Redding, California and God has been doing

some incredible things at that church.

And one of the reasons I was anxious to have this conversation

is, and you know this if, you know your regular listener

is often there are divisions in the church

and it boils down to are you

charismatic are you you know reformed are you not charismatic are you you know reformed are you

are you too charismatic you know the whole deal right and I just think as we move into a post-Christian era, what unites us is greater than what divides us. And so I think it's really important, even if you know, maybe you express yourself differently, or faith differently differently you have slightly different

understandings of what the Christian faith teaches on certain issues

that we really focus on what's similar and I think you're gonna love today's

interview because Bethel is a very well known church a highly influential church but also not without its controversy but a man when you connect with a guy like Chris

There's just so much I think that we have in

common and he's so honest in this conversation and so real I think I think you're

really gonna love it plus he's a phenomenal teacher if you've ever heard

him preach or you've read one of his books.
