242. Staying Calm When Everything Blows Up with Ryan Dunlap
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
