242. Staying Calm When Everything Blows Up with Ryan Dunlap

Описание: What if you could stay grounded in the middle of chaos? Ryan Dunlap knows exactly what that takes. A former SWAT hostage negotiator turned executive pastor and conflict strategist, Ryan has spent decades navigating high-stakes moments where emotions run hot and pressure can crush. But it wasn’t until life hit him personally—NICU babies, the loss of his mother, and a brutal wake-up call at a doctor’s appointment—that he started asking the deeper questions about who he was, not just what he could do.

Join Anna and Tim for a powerful conversation with Ryan about what it really means to lead, love, and live well under pressure. This episode dives into how emotional intelligence isn’t just a skillset, but a way of showing up differently—at work, at home, and with yourself.

This Episode Covers:
The moment Ryan realized tactical skills weren’t enough
How childhood ADHD and depression shaped his leadership style
The role his wife played in his emotional growth
Why people know what to do in conflict but can’t do it when it matters
The impact of ministry on learning to meet people where they are
What happens when your communication style is “too courageous”
How to use the First Steps framework to reduce internal pressure
Why some leaders are the problem and how they can change—if they want to
