The Lead Stories Podcast is a weekly staple for me. I resonate deeply with the truth, wisdom, and grace Jo Saxton and Pastor Steph share as they talk about about leadership and life. They are refreshingly authentic as they discuss being a leader and having influence in today’s culture. As woman...Read full review »

I love all of the concepts on this podcast and appreciate them carrying us through the pandemic. The five folds gifts survey link isn’t working though. I hope it can be fixed.

I really love Pastor Steph and Jo Saxon and then this season Pastor Edwin joined. He is such a great fit. This years messages have been so helpful as a lay ministry leader at church. Keep up the good work.

I am so excited to hear that you’re bringing Edrin Williams in as a regular voice on your podcast! It can only get better from here! I first learned about him when you replayed an interview with him over the summer, and I know that his addition will make the discussions so much richer and more...Read full review »

This podcast is like going to “leadership school.” Jo, Steph, and their guests continually put out meaty and helpful episodes that help guide leaders in all sorts of situations!

A friend introduced me to this podcast & now a week without Jo & Step in my ears at some point doesn’t quite feel right! Thank you for your practical insight, relatable content & accessible chats. Your words have strengthened & inspired me in my daily stuff so much (in my family...Read full review »

I started with the beginning of season 8. I absolutely love it. They talk about all walks of life (not just married with kids). I really appreciate they honesty and challenges they offer all listeners through a Biblical View.

I love these women and their leadership. Well done.

Love the podcast and all the wisdom and experience shared.
rachelpjones via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/19
A great podcast, not shyness away from the tough or controversial topics, but with a good dose of humour. Lots of wisdom, and an invaluable resource for everyone wanting to improve their leadership abilities.
Becky1247 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/01/19
Love the depth of content and stories that are shared here. So helpful for me as a woman coming out of a conservative church where women were not allowed to be pastors or elders and their voices were silenced all while the men called them equal and valued. Lots of pain there and dealing with mold...Read full review »

One of my commitments for 2019 is to listen and engage with Jo and Steph and this podcast. I actually went to your YouTube channel and found the SWOT visual really helpful. Thank you! Keep up the excellent work!

So enjoyed the Bod Goff podcast and even used some of his advice today with my own kiddo! “You are a terrific kid, now - go make a mistake tomorrow!” 😂 mistakes are opportunities for growth! Loved it

Found the sermon series over summer - it was great to hear from so many different people in different contexts but all pointing to the same God and His love. Now digging into the rest of ‘Lead Stories’ from the very beginning. Thanks for speaking on so many topics so well Steph and Jo!
kikkachoo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/06/18
I know this, God is at work! He’s orchestrated this podcast to start playing on my phone a few times on its own. A few times, it’s been 100% relevant to what’s going on in my life right then or what our message was at church just that week. I know this isn’t a coincidence! It’s God telling me to...Read full review »

This podcast is always so encouraging and thought-provoking, I would recommend it to both men and women, anywhere, who are looking to be intentional with their influence. And Jo and Steph keep my laughing to boot, what more could you want?
Naomi.S.Ent via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/11/18
I think I have listened to every episode. The cover so many things in the podcast. It is based in a Christian life and worldview, yet happily takes in information from those not at the center and lifts them up. I am so grateful for these two. They realistically do more with this podcast that I...Read full review »

Love this podcast. So grateful for these two women.
KaitlinCurtice via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/18
This podcast is phenomenal. I’ve keenly followed Lead Stories for almost 2 years now. Jo and Steph speak wisdom that has profoundly impacted my spiritual and ministry formation in ways not even Bible college has been able to teach me.
Em.Ma.Phoebs via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/19/18
This podcast is so amazing. It has encouraged me in my faith as well as learn how to better lead out. They are not afraid to truly speak the truth. They have been such distant mentors in a time of dryness. I am beyond grateful for their breath of fresh air. I saw someone said something about...Read full review »
Jupv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/18
I was really excited about this podcast and its topics, but I had to stop listening. The episodes are twice as long as needed to cover content, mostly due to meaningless banter and that each of them repeats most of what the other says. Both are very strong personalities (as am I, no worries...Read full review »

Steph and Jo are more than worth the listen. Transparent, relevant discussion on leadership that is challenging and transforming me. Thank you, Pastor Steph and Pastor Jo!

I am a high school science teacher, and I absolutely love every podcast episode these inspiring ladies publish! They are uplifting, encouraging, and even a bit constructively criticizing, which is so refreshing! Thank you both for always bringing the knowledge and encouraging the introspection...Read full review »

Love listening! It grows, challenges and encourages me. Steph and Jo make you feel like you are right in the room with them chatting! Love how engaged they are to determine what the community is interested in and needs. Thank you for serving our Father and this community.

Love the guests, topics, and content. First hand leadership stories are encouraging.
TheBatesFam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/17
I found Steph and Jo in February 2017. I've listened to every single episode starting from the very first episode. I have just caught up to S02:28. They are inspiring, encouraging, challenging - their influence helped me to see God in ways I haven't before and to fully know that he is...Read full review »

triceno via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/17
I really like the topics and I want to hear what they have to say but I find myself getting very irritated with the amount of banter that goes on through out the podcast, especially at the beginning. I know these ladies are besties, but sometimes it's like they forget that the listeners are...Read full review »

I have been listening almost since the beginning. Now that we're coming to the end of the year I am revisiting a few of the episodes that I remember being very relevant to me. The wilderness episodes were so powerful and God used them powerfully when I first listened to them...but revealed so...Read full review »
AmbiaC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/16
If I've learned one thing from Jo and Steph it's that "leaders are people who are intentional with their influence". This certainly defines Jo and Steph--through their day-to-day ministries as well as this podcast. I listen to them regularly and highly recommend it to other leaders.Read full review »
runmat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/16
I think the content is good for the most part, but hearing Jo say "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah." the whole time someone is talking makes this podcast almost impossible for me to listen to. Easy fix if the podcast hosts are listening back to there own material with a critical ear to catch some...Read full review »

Whether it's Jo and Steph offering advice and tips from their years of experience or one of them interviewing someone who leads in some capacity, I have gotten something out of every podcast. I have gained insight in how to lead better, how to approach different situations with grace and...Read full review »

This podcast always inspires, challenges, and makes me chuckle. What a blessing to have these two women share their lives in an honest and engaging way.
Bryony Jay via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/29/16
Jo and Steph share their true experiences and aren't afraid to also talk about what hasn't worked, as well as what's been successful. They offer pearls for us to try on and nuggets of wisdom to use, apply and pass on. It's always a treat to listen in on their conversation.Read full review »

These ladies speak to my heart! I am a reluctant leader who is enjoying the wisdom, encouragement and much-needed humor in this podcast.

Dropping knowledge while having fun and not taking above you. Thanks for this show it has become a vital piece of my leadership growth.
TechieGolfer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/16
I started listening to the podcast because I'm a fan of Jo. I'm not a leader of anything. Truly. I'm not. Yet. I binge listened to all of them and absolutely love the information they give. Not too long ago I found out my husband and I will be leading a community group at church!...Read full review »

I think Jo and Steph go well together. Ship you guys to the moon and back. Keep up the great work.

I started listening to LeadStories the first week Jo and Steph launched. It's been a weekly dose of practical information, encouraging stories, and sound Christian wisdom all rolled into a lively conversation with women who make you feel like you are sitting at the ktichen table together.
