Humble Renegade Podcast

This is the final episode of Season One, and everything comes back to one thing.Belief.You can do the work. You can build something meaningful. You can show up consistently. But if your belief isn’t settled, you won’t sustain it.In this episode, Kesha breaks down why belief is what keeps you moving when results don’t match what you expected. Because belief is not based on outcomes. It’s based on agreement. Agreement with what God said, not what your circumstances suggest. She also addresses how doubt shows up in subtle ways. Overthinking. Seeking validation. Constantly questioning what you already felt led to do. And how that instability can quietly pull you off course.The truth is simple. If you were called, you are equipped. God does not call the equipped. He equips the called. This episode walks through three anchors that help settle your belief. Knowing who God says you are, understanding what you’ve been entrusted to do, and standing firm in the authority to carry it out. When those are clear, you stop wavering. You stop negotiating. You stay consistent.Because obedience is still working, even when you don’t see results yet. The shift is this. Stop waiting to see it before you believe it. Believe it so you can stay faithful.You don’t abandon the work because it’s hard. You finish it because you were authorized to start. Thank you for listening.

In this episode of Humble Renegade, Kesha walks through the next phase of the Get It Done Method: Steward It.You’ve done the work. You’ve built it. You’ve shared it.Now comes the part that determines whether it lasts.Stewardship.This is about caring for what has been entrusted to you with integrity, consistency, and intention. Because once you share your work and people respond, responsibility follows. Kesha breaks down why stewardship is the difference between short-term momentum and long-term, sustainable impact. She also addresses what happens when people build and share, but fail to steward well... burnout, broken trust, and inconsistency.This episode centers around three areas every servant leader must steward:The people you serve Your people are not transactions. They are your assignment. When you treat them that way, your communication, care, and follow-through shift. The work and systems you’ve built Systems require maintenance. What worked before may need to be refined, simplified, or adjusted. Stewardship means staying attentive and responsive to what’s evolving. Yourself You cannot steward well from depletion. Rest, boundaries, reflection, and renewal are not optional. They are part of your obedience. At the core, this episode reframes success.It’s not just about growth. It’s mostly about faithfulness.Because when you steward what God has given you well, the impact becomes sustainable, the relationships deepen, and the work brings peace instead of pressure.Key reminder from this episode: You are not responsible for everything. You are responsible for what has been entrusted to you.So steward it well.Thank you for listening. Please subscribe, comment and share your thoughts with us about this episode. 

In this solo episode, Kesha addresses the next step people avoid.Sharing.It's not because they lack clarity or because they're unprepared. It's because visibility feels risky.This episode is a direct call forward.The work you’ve built's purpose cannot be fulfilled in private. And keeping it hidden doesn’t protect it. It delays its purpose.In this episode, Kesha walks through the Share It phase of the Get It Done Method and confronts the real reason people stop short.Fear of being seen. Fear of being misunderstood. Fear of rejection. Fear of success.What You’ll Hear Why sharing feels harder than building  The real fears behind visibility  Why meaningful work feels heavy when it stays hidden  The difference between promotion and invitation  How clarity removes the pressure to perform  Why your work must reach the people it was designed for  How sharing creates alignment and attracts the right people The Core TruthSharing is not about being seen.It is about letting the work do what it was created to do.When you keep it to yourself, you carry the full weight.When you release it, the burden lifts.There is a gap that only you are called to fill.Your obedience opens the door. God provides what comes next.Sharing is not about visibility. It is about responsibility.Let the work be seen.Thank you for listening.

In this episode of Humble Renegade, Kesha and Bookie go straight to the tension point where most people get stuck.Execution.This is where faith becomes visible and responsibility becomes real.And where most people back away.Kesha breaks down the Execute It phase of the Get It Done Method and challenges the habit of hiding behind preparation that feels productive but leads nowhere.Because movement is not the same as progress. And being “almost ready” is not a strategy.What You’ll Hear Why execution is the most avoided step in purpose work  The difference between preparation and procrastination  How fear of exposure keeps people stuck  Why sustainable action matters more than short bursts of intensity  How execution builds trust with yourself and others  The danger of choosing convenience over calling  How to move from internal work to external impact The Core TruthExecution is putting your faith in action.It is the moment where what you created is no longer just yours.It becomes both visible + vulnerable.3 Execution Anchors1. Decide Before You DoubtIndecision delays obedience.2. Move in Small, Repeatable ActionsConsistency beats intensity every time.3. Measure Progress, Not PerfectionProgress is in the process.You do not need permission to move forward.You do not need applause to obey.Start where you are.Use what you have.Execution is where trust is built.With God. With others. And with yourself.Check Out Lakesha's Books on Amazon!Thank you for listening. Please subscribe, comment and share your thoughts with us about this episode. 

In this powerful episode of Humble Renegade, Bookie and Kesha unpack the final P in the Seven Ps framework: Proximity.This is the why behind the what. The heartbeat behind the strategy. The difference between good intentions and lasting transformation.Bookie shares personal stories from youth sports, community leadership, the Perkins Foundation, the Equal Justice Initiative, and the Reconciliation Tour in Jackson, Mississippi. Through those experiences, one truth becomes clear:Real change does not happen from a distance.Proximity is a calling.It is choosing closeness over comfort.It is refusing to outsource compassion.What You’ll HearWhy proximity completes the Seven Ps frameworkThe difference between visibility and consistent presenceHow proximity reveals what data cannot explainWhy listening without fixing changes everythingA powerful story from the Reconciliation Tour in Jackson, MississippiThe connection between reconciliation and proximityThe three Rs of Christian Community DevelopmentThree Core Truths About Proximity1. Proximity Reveals What Distance HidesWhen you are close, you hear stories that never make reports.You see patterns, pressures, and pain points that statistics alone cannot explain.Proximity sharpens understanding and dismantles assumptions.2. Proximity Communicates WorthYou do not need every answer to show up well.Presence often speaks louder than expertise.Being near tells people their lives matter.3. Proximity Improves Quality of LifeSmall, consistent presence builds trust.Trust builds accountability.Accountability builds resilience.Three Practical Ways to Practice Proximity1. Show Up Consistently Choose regular presence over occasional visibility. Credibility is built through routine.2. Listen Without Fixing Lead with curiosity. Understand before strategizing. Let people tell their own story.3. Stay Engaged in Hard Seasons Proximity matters most when life feels unstable. Closeness reinforces dignity and hope.Story Highlight: The Reconciliation TourThrough annual trips to Jackson, Mississippi, Baseball Beyond Borders partnered with the Perkins Foundation, the Seattle Mariners, and Converge Media to create more than a baseball camp. What began as skill development became relationship building.Walking to lunch instead of driving.Learning names.Hearing stories.Understanding a water crisis not through headlines, but through lived experience.Proximity transformed the work.And it transformed the people doing it.The Three Rs of ProximityIn honor of Dr. John Perkins and Christian Community Development:Relocate Move closer. This may not mean changing your address, but it does mean changing your access.Reconcile Repair what is broken. Build bridges.Redistribute Share your resources. Not just money, but knowledge, skill, influence, and opportunity.Reflection ChallengeIdentify one place, one group, or one person where you need to move closer.Choose tangible presence this week.Let proximity become the bridge between your values and your actions.Final ReminderProximity is not about knowing everything. It is about being near enough to care  well. Distance delays impact. Closeness accelerates transformation.Communities thrive when people refuse to outsource compassion.Thank you for listening.

In this episode of Humble Renegade, Kesha and Bookie continue the Get It Done Method conversation by moving from clarity to construction.You defined it. Now what?Now you build it.Building is where vision becomes structure. It is where obedience turns into systems. It is where your assignment moves out of your head and into the world.Kesha walks us through what it means to build the right way. Not rushed. Not reactive. Not ambition-driven. But aligned. Sustainable. Thoughtful.Because if you build wrong, you spend years patching what should have been framed correctly in the first place.This episode is about constructing something that can carry weight. Something that can outlive you. Something that does not collapse under pressure.What You’ll HearWhy defining your assignment is only the foundationThe difference between preparation and misalignmentHow to know when you are operating outside your purposeWhy ambition without alignment leads to exhaustionThe importance of assets, systems, and boundariesHow rhythm, reliability, and rest create sustainabilityWhy God honors faithful constructionThe Three Core Priorities of Building1. Build the asset that carries your value Your insight must move through something tangible. A framework. A curriculum. A service model. A process. An offer. An asset allows your value to exist without requiring your constant presence.2. Build the system that supports consistency How you schedule. How you communicate. How you deliver. How you follow up. How you rest. Systems remove dependence on motivation and replace it with rhythm.3. Build the boundary that protects your capacity Boundaries define how much, how often, and for whom you show up. If boundaries are not built into the structure, burnout becomes inevitable.Key Leadership InsightsYou cannot build everything. You must build what supports the outcome you defined.Misalignment feels like overwork, confusion, and scattered effort.When the structure is right, the work feels lighter.Rest is not optional. It is structural.If necessary, remodel. If required, demolish and rebuild.Reflection QuestionsWhat asset would make my work easier to carry?What system would help me stay consistent?What boundary do I need to build now, not later?Episode ReminderYou do not have to build everything at once.You only need to build the next right thing.Excellence matters. Perfection does not.And even if it feels unfinished to you, God honors faithful construction.Thank you for listening. Please subscribe, comment and share your thoughts with us about this episode. 

In this episode of Humble Renegades, Bookie and Kesha tackle a topic that often makes people uncomfortable but is absolutely necessary for sustainable community impact: politics and policy.This is not about partisan debates. It is about understanding systems.Bookie breaks down the difference between politics and policy through the lens of the Seven Ps of community engagement. Politics is about relationships, influence, and who has access to power. Policy is about written rules, structure, and what lasts beyond leadership changes.If you care about community development, equity, business growth, or lasting impact, you cannot ignore either one.Because relationships may open the door.But policy determines what happens next.Through real examples from Baseball Beyond Borders, transportation logistics, and the King County recess mandate, this conversation moves from theory to lived experience. It challenges servant leaders to stop reacting and start thinking strategically.What You’ll HearThe difference between politics and policyWhy systems are not optional, even for believersHow relationships create opportunityWhy written structure creates sustainabilityA real case study on advocating for mandatory recessWhy short-term wins mean nothing without long-term policy changeHow to move from emotional reaction to strategic leadershipKey DistinctionsPoliticsRelationshipsAdvocacyInfluenceAccessWho gets heardPolicyWritten rulesStructureProceduresSustainabilityWhat remains when leadership changesLessons From the FieldSuccess requires engagement with both people and systems.Advocacy influences policy development.Policy locks in progress or reinforces barriers.Sustainable change requires courage and patience.Power Statements From This Episode“Relationships often create opportunity. Policy determines what happens next.”“Politics shape the moment. Policy shapes the future.”“Your work deserves both your voice and its structure.”Reflection QuestionsWho influences the decisions that affect my work?What policies currently shape how I operate?Where do I need stronger relationships?Where do I need clearer structure?Why This MattersCommunity development does not happen outside of systems. It happens inside them.If you only build relationships, you may win the moment.If you only focus on policy, you may lack access.But when you understand both, you move from reaction to strategy.And strategy builds legacy.Thank you for listening.

In this episode of Humble Renegades, Kesha and Bookie explore the critical moment when discovery meets definition. It's one thing to know you’re called. It’s another to name it clearly. This episode walks you through why definition is more than semantics. It gives you structure, focus, and power.Through honest storytelling, practical frameworks, and plenty of real talk, they walk you through three areas every servant leader must define: your burden, your role, and your desired outcome. Because without clarity, even the right calling can feel overwhelming.If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to make progress on your vision, this conversation will help you stop chasing everything and start building something.What You’ll Hear:Why defining your burden is the first step toward alignmentThe importance of naming your role honestly and specificallyHow clarity helps you say no without guilt and build with intentionThe difference between inspiration + impact and why both matterWhy God often gives steps, not blueprints, and how to move anyway3 Sentences to Complete to Define It:The burden I feel responsible for is...My role in addressing it is...The outcome I’m working toward is...Use these as journal prompts or conversation starters. When answered with honesty, they’ll change how you show up and how others experience your leadership.Thank you for listening.

In this episode of the Humble Renegade Podcast, Bookie and Kesha explore the underrated but essential role of public opinion in shaping sustainable community work. It’s about listening with intention and being careful to not react to the noise, recognize prophetic voices in the crowd, and learning to discern the difference between feedback that’s noise and feedback whose intention is to nourish.Drawing from real-life lessons in community organizing, barbershop culture, faith spaces, and Baseball Beyond Borders, they challenge leaders to create listening spaces, look for patterns, and close the feedback loop because stronger programs are built on stronger trust.Whether you’re leading a nonprofit, launching a new initiative, or showing up for your neighborhood, this episode will shift how you think about feedback, presence, and power.What You’ll Hear:Why public opinion is more than politicsHow lived experience becomes insight when we slow down to listenThe spiritual practice of discerning prophetic voices in everyday spacesReal lessons from starting Baseball Beyond BordersWhy leaders must learn to sit with tension, not rush to respond3 Practices for Harnessing Public Opinion:Create Listening Spaces: Small groups, one-on-ones, or community touchpoints where people feel safe to speak freelyLook for Patterns: Volume doesn’t matter as much as repeated themes that reveal deeper needsClose the Loop: Share how feedback shaped your decisions to build credibility and trustReflection Questions:Who have I stopped listening to and why?What feedback keeps resurfacing that I haven’t yet explored?Where can I create more intentional space for listening?Thank you for listening.

Using the Nike RBI West Regional Tournament as a real-time case study, they walk through how clear priorities create trust, unity, and momentum in a community.Beyond theory, Bookie shares strategy in action. From honoring the voices of student-athletes and families to solving logistical challenges with excellence and intention, you’ll hear how clarity made success feel inevitable and how that same clarity can transform the way you serve.Whether you're leading a team, at the beginning of building a vision, or navigating change in your community, this episode will help you focus forward and put people first.What You’ll Hear:Why priorities matter more than plansHow to build momentum through clarityA real behind-the-scenes look at organizing a regional tournamentThe difference between essential priorities and extrasHow listening, proximity, and anticipation build trust3-Step Framework:Clarify the Win: Define what success looks like togetherResource the Plan: Put the right people, tools, and funding in placeTrack and Celebrate: Let small wins fuel big onesQuote Highlights:“Clarity makes success feel inevitable.”“Being a champion is about lifting others as they rise.”Reflection Prompt:Think about what your community actually needs, not just what you want to give them.

In this episode of Humble Renegades, Kesha and Bookie unpack what it means to “discover” your life’s work. It's not by chasing titles or trends, but by reflecting on your story, your patterns, and your God-given burden.They explore the early stages of calling and the tension between what you’re good at, what people expect of you, and what you’re truly called to steward. This conversation will resonate deeply with anyone who’s felt like their gifts don’t fit inside a job description or their burden doesn't make sense on paper.Through honest stories and practical insight, you’ll be encouraged to revisit your past not to stay there, but to extract the evidence of your purpose. Because discovering your assignment isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about paying attention.What You’ll Hear:How to identify your God-given burdenWhy discovering your calling starts with reflecting, not rushingThe difference between gifting and callingHow imposter syndrome and people-pleasing distract us from alignmentWhy your past jobs, roles, and life experiences hold clues to your futureHow the “Discover It” phase fits within the Get It Done MethodQuote Highlights:“Your burden is often the birthplace of your assignment.”“You’re building from story.”“Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean it’s your calling.”Reflection Questions:What are the themes that show up in your life over and over again?What problem in the world burdens you the most?What have people always come to you for?Take It Further:Ready to go deeper in discovering your own life’s work?
