The Spirit Empowered Leader

Resurgence Initiatives

Join us on an extraordinary journey we are calling "The Spirit Empowered Leader Podcast," where we invite you to explore leadership that is guided and led by the Holy Spirit. God has entrusted each of us with the call to lead and has empowered us through the Holy Spirit. But if you're like us, you might be wondering, "How do I practically live out that calling?" Well, we're asking that very question too, and together, we'll embark on a quest to uncover the answers. In the story of Abraham, there's a pivotal moment when he responds, "Here I am," as God calls upon him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. After three days of wrestling with this profound request and climbing up a mountain, Abraham once again declares, "Here I am," moments before offering Isaac as a sacrifice. It is in this journey, between the call of God and the fulfillment of our purpose, that we find ourselves. There's a process—a transformational experience—awaiting us. "The Spirit Empowered Leader" is a podcast that delves into the challenges, trials, and lessons of leadership from a Spirit-empowered perspective. We will explore what it truly means to be a Spirit-filled leader in every aspect of life, whether as sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, in ministry, business, sports, medicine, or any sphere where God has called you to make an impact. Together with our hosts, Travis Holownia, Executive Director & Visionary Founder of Resurgence Initiatives, and Daunavan Buyer, Associate Director of Resurgence Initiatives, we will navigate the depths of leadership under the Holy Spirit's guidance. Resurgence Initiatives, a ministry born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in 2008, was given a divine mandate to Reach People, Revive Churches, and Release Leaders. Since then, our vision has expanded beyond Canada, aiming to see a resurgence—a global rise—occur all around the world. Our belief is simple: information may change your mind, but revelation has the power to transform your life. That's why our podcast goes beyond providing mere information; it seeks to create an encounter with the Holy Spirit, right where you are, and in whatever leadership role you've been called to fulfill. At the conclusion of each episode, we will pray for those watching or listening, creating space for the Spirit to speak and move in your life. So if something in your spirit is wondering, how do I grow in my leadership as a teacher, mother, pastor, ministry leader, CEO, athlete... then we invite you to join us as we interview various friends about the various aspects of Spirit Empowered Leadership. Don't miss out on this empowering podcast experience! For more information on the ministry of Resurgence or the hosts, visit our website at https://www.liveresurgence.com.

His is passionate about creating a "seamless" life: interacting across culture, politics, and paradigms As Spirit-empowered leaders, it is important to be aware of what is going on in culture so that we can lead in a way that sees impact and transformation beyond the walls of the Church.
