This podcast helped me so much after I read the book, Managing Leadership Anxiety. My friend told me to read that book when he realized how anxious I was as a pastor. He said that his friend had read it and said that it saved him from leaving ministry. The podcast goes even deeper than the book...Read full review »

I learned about Steve by my son in law who gave me his book Managing Leadership Anxiety. It challenged me! I immediately started to listen to the podcast and it encourages me to stay on a path of learning more about my walk with Jesus every day. Ty

In Being Human, Steve Cuss takes us below the surface of reactivity to help understand the whys and then provides tools to grow, as humans, in the places we are. Thanks Steve

“You’re only human,” “It’s OK to be anxious,” and “You don’t have to be perfect,” usually seem true enough in my therapist’s office, or for other people, but not very often in my daily life. Somehow, the way that Steve, Lisa and the guests model approaching anxiety, flaws, and other messy parts...Read full review »

I’m currently leading in various ways in the church I am a part of, and this podcast has been like a mentor to me. I’m grateful for the encouragement they bring and the wise words pointing me back to the ways of Jesus. Thank you!!

For me, Steve and the"Being Human" podcasts, have been life-changing. I discovered the podcast during a time of deep, personal anxiety. The podcasts have served as a blessing of encouragement, wisdom, and pastoral care that have helped me to realize I am not alone in my struggles and...Read full review »

Steve’s exploration of anxiety and our inner lives has helped me understand myself so much better, both as a leader and as a person. The tools he presents are really practical and helpful for moving beyond our inner challenges, and his guests bring really helpful insights as well. Looking forward...Read full review »

Really enjoying this series with Steve Cuss. Just listened to episode 4, spot on. Saved and will re listen. Thank you! Looking forward to the next episode.

This is by far one of my favorite and most helpful podcasts! Diving into sources of anxiety for leaders and relating to other leaders is so helpful. I’m constantly sending episodes to others, “you have to listen to this one!” Steve is one of the best interviewers!
Haley Steinert via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/24
This podcast is one of my favorites. Every time I listen I feel like I’ve learned something, been challenged, or inspired all in the most gentle way. This podcast makes me feel peaceful and draws me closer to God. So thankful for the work of Steve and Lisa.

Steve Cuss is full of wisdom. I heard him first on an Enneagram podcast as a guest. The responses to the questions were intriguing enough for me to Google his name, and that’s how I discovered him here. It’s been really helpful in helping manage my anxiety.
VINNYV via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/23
I love your show and learn so much from it! Lately, though, the first entire half seems to be taken up with pitching your class and books. Please consider moving that info to the second half of the show and getting right to the “meat” of the show, at least for most of your episodes. I know you...Read full review »

I found this podcast while listening to Steve being interviewed on another podcast (Carey Nieuwhof) and man what a fabulously rewarding rabbit hole the past year++ has been. The podcast, the book, the Capable Life content - it’s all exactly what I needed and has been transformational for me as a...Read full review »

A lot of what Steve shares and opens up about proves to be very encouraging and specifically helpful to a lot of struggles I face in leadership. I often can’t find this kind of Christian-saturated, yet self-aware information anywhere else. This is a must listen for Christian leaders today.
DanzDees via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/22
One of the first podcast I listen to every week.
FiveDees via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/22
Seriously, this is my favorite podcast in the leadership space. Steve keeps it real and instead of acting like a guru who has it all figured out, he is willing to share his own struggles with anxiety. I find this show to be a source of encouragement and an antidote the “quick fix” mentality in...Read full review »

Someone that knew I was a big Ted Lasso (from a leadership standpoint) sent me that episode, and it’s probably one of the single best podcast episodes on leadership that I’ve listened to.
WtylerM via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/22
I’ve been listening to the podcast ever since I read Steve Cuss’s book “Managing Leadership Anxiety,” and I’m not overstating it when I say that Cuss’s work has been one of the most transformative resources I’ve ever encountered.

I discovered this podcast when Steve’s Ted Lasso episode was shared with my husband. We loved that episode and the insight Steve brought combining faith, psychology and leadership. As a result, I’ve fallen in love with the whole podcast show, and I find myself recommending it as often as I can.
AshleyBCrowder via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/21
Seriously though, Steve is a wonderful man and his content is very helpful. He has really helped me learn to not be overly responsible for people and situations that are out of my control. This has lowered my anxiety. Highly recommend and thanks for your work Steve
Royce1005 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/21
That title is lame but in all seriousness, I read through Steve’s book and now listen to his podcast because of the way he, using the gospel and systems theory, could help me see what I do often feel, name the moments of tension and anxiety, and offer a way forward from a posture of both...Read full review »

I have totally changed my approach in meetings and presentations at work as a result of the insight gained through this podcast. I have also been more attuned to issues with family & friends. Learning from this podcast has made me a better human. Thank You, Steve Cuss!

This is about as close to must-listen as it gets for pastors—especially for those of us who are in a lead role in our churches. Steve's thoughtful, honest approach to understanding the real-time challenges of pastoral leadership is a real gift for pastors.Read full review »

Steve’s podcast is one of the very few that I listen to consistently. His manner, material, and guests all combine to make this one of the most helpful and enriching series of conversations I get to listen in on. Thank you, Steve!

Very good content and style. Clear, structured, insightful guests- this is excellent value for time spent and therapeutic in essence.

It is so encouraging to hear that as a leader we do not have to be controlled by anxiety (and we all lied and some sphere of our life). This podcast really helps being able to see clearly what is stress and how it affects the choices and decisions I have to make. It seems seeing my emotions for...Read full review »

I have been following Steve’s podcast and his associated website Capable Life for about 3 months now.

2020 was hard on all people in ministry. Especially Pastors.

There are so many reasons to engage with the MLA podcast. Firstly, Steve Cuss is a master at exploring often neglected aspects of leadership, such as chronic anxiety. Not only are the issues examined however, but practical tools are also given to help address these. Secondly, the calibre of the...Read full review »
