I Should Not Have Said That with The Dashleys

This podcast was a little nerve racking for us because it was the first time we had a guest on the show who we didnt’ know before! (Could you tell?) But Stephen made it easy for us. It was seriously an honor to have him on the podcast and hear his insights from his life experience as a pastor, entrepreneur, husband, and father. My biggest takeaway was how he approaches conversations with his wife that could turn into a fight. Instead of accusing her of something or saying how she’s “making” him feel, he says - “I’m making up a story in my head right now that you’re really mad or annoyed at me about something. Is that true?” and then he lets his wife provide the context. Get this, he said that 9 TIMES OUT OF 10, HE IS WRONG. And he’s been married for 20 years! It goes to show how easily we can deceive ourselves with the stories we tell ourselves. Check out our new Podcast! Taking Sides - The Marriage Podcast Follow the Dashleys for more! thedashleysvlog.com facebook.com/thedashleysvlog instagram.com/thedashleys youtube.com/thedashleys hellodashleys@gmail.com A veteran pastor, husband, father, entrepreneur, and organizational leader, Stephen Leonard has spent two decades in his pursuit of understanding the design of his own life. He spent his college days studying literature to engage with the great ideas of the world, attended seminary to know how to study the Bible, and earned his doctorate to learn communication. After serving for ten years in pastoral ministry, Stephen stepped into a new phase of living his faith in marketplace as an entrepreneur. Under his leadership as CEO, Lisa Leonard Designs quickly grew from his wife’s hobby business at the kitchen table to a multimillion-dollar company employing 150 people and operating globally. He has since expanded their business, including founding the rapid growing Stephen David Leonard brand launched in 2017. His education, pastoral experience and business success couldn’t shield him from the real-life struggles of having a son with a severe disability, depression, business stress and a marriage crisis. He came to realize there are no easy answers. As he faced these struggles, he began to read God’s word with a new perspective. Living by design means engaging with honesty, facing struggles head on and being willing to not have it all figured out. Stephen lives on the central coast of California, with his wife Lisa, their two boys and their pug. He loves to read, play guitar and ride his bike in France whenever he gets the chance!
