In this powerful episode, Mark Immelman and Pastor Kyle unpack the story of Gideon—the unlikely military leader who went from hiding in a winepress to leading Israel to victory with only 300 men. Known for his timidity, Gideon's journey is a testimony to how God calls out our potential, even when we don’t see it in ourselves.

Through candid conversation and spiritual insight, they explore key leadership lessons from Judges 6–8, including:

• How God qualifies the called—not the other way around
• Why faith doesn’t require perfection, just obedience
• What real humility looks like in leadership
• How success can test our character more than failure
• Why obedience often precedes understanding

Whether you’re leading a team, a household, or simply your own journey, this episode will encourage you to say "yes" even when you're unsure, and to lead with bold humility.

Key Verses Mentioned:
Judges 6:12 — “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”
Hebrews 11:1 — “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Ephesians 4:29 — “Only speak what is helpful for building others up.”

Takeaways:
➡ Great leaders often emerge from unlikely places.
➡ Faith doesn’t eliminate fear—it gives you courage to obey anyway.
➡ True leadership is rooted in humility and trust in God’s strength, not your own.

🎙️ The Greater Call Episode 5: Learned Leader

In This Episode:
In this episode of The Greater Call Podcast, Mark and Pastor Kyle dive deep into the life and legacy of Joshua—one of the Bible’s most courageous and impactful leaders.

Fresh off an unforgettable week at The Masters, Mark reflects on calling history at Amen Corner, and Kyle uses it as a springboard into a conversation on faith, leadership, and resilience. Together, they explore Joshua’s journey from Moses' assistant to fearless military commander, drawing powerful parallels to the leadership challenges we all face.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

👣 Follow Before You Lead:
Joshua learned by walking closely with Moses. Leadership starts with humility and a hunger to grow.

🧠 Faith Over Fear:
Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s choosing faith when fear creeps in. Joshua faced giants with confidence in God’s promises.

📖 Obedience in the Unconventional:
God’s plans don’t always make sense. Marching around Jericho wasn’t logical—but it was faithful. Joshua trusted the process.

🏗️ Preparation Before Promotion:
Joshua’s years in the shadows equipped him to lead in the spotlight. Don't skip the grind.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Legacy in Leadership:
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15) Joshua’s leadership was rooted in spiritual conviction that outlived him.

📖 Verses Referenced: Joshua 1–6, Joshua 24:15, 1 John 4:18

🎙️ Episode 4: Faithful Existence

In This Episode:
Mark Immelman and Pastor Kyle Jackson explore the story of Noah—arguably one of the most well-known figures in the Bible. From building the ark in obedience to God's call to leading through uncertainty and ridicule, Noah’s life offers timeless lessons in leadership, legacy, and faithful living.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

🛠️ Obedience Over Outcome:
Noah followed God's direction to build the ark without knowing exactly why or when the rain would come. His story reminds us that success often begins with simply saying "yes" to God.

🧱 Discipline and Consistency:
Building the ark took over 100 years. Noah’s day-by-day commitment, despite public mockery, teaches us that small daily disciplines compound over time into something great.

👣 Leadership Lessons:
Leadership requires doing the right thing even when it’s hard. Noah led by example, maintained his integrity, and earned the trust of his family—not just through words, but through consistent action.

🏠 Vision + Mission:
Having a clear vision is powerful, but without a mission and clear steps to get there, it’s just an idea. God gave Noah both a vision (build the ark) and a mission (specific instructions to follow).

🦺 Legacy and Influence:
Noah’s faithfulness didn’t just save him—it preserved humanity. As leaders, parents, or mentors, our obedience and consistency leave a lasting legacy.

🌈 God's Presence in the Storm:
The rainbow at the end of the flood wasn’t just a symbol for Noah—it’s a reminder for us, too, that even in our darkest storms, God is still with us.

🧭 Leadership Truths:

• Leadership is lonely, but obedience brings purpose.
• People often trust the leader before they trust the vision.
• What you put in will come out when pressure is applied.
• Trust is built over time through integrity and action.

📖 Verses Referenced:

• Genesis 6–9 (The story of Noah)
• Habakkuk 2 (Write the vision and make it plain)
• 2 Timothy 2:20–21 (God uses clean vessels)
