Bad Church Leaders & Incoming Persecution? - Mike Schouten

The Briefcase & The Barn is hosted by two Dutch Reformed misfits who’ve spent most of their lives in the church’s side-eye.

Kyle Van Ruitenburg is the PK and connections guy who’s been around the world (and yes—straight off the boat). Gary Baars is the money guy who’s been around just about every farm and cow.

Together, they have blunt, funny, real talk about business, life, faith, culture, and the stuff Christians usually don't talk about.

Recorded on the west coast of Canada in Chilliwack, BC.

New episodes every Wednesday at 5 am PST.

Created & produced by The Furiously Curious Company.

Gary’s out this week, so I sat down with Mike from ARPA Canada to talk real life: why a good friend sometimes tells you not to add another hobby, how to actually find mentors, what servant leadership looks like in the church, and how a grueling Terry Fox ride turned grief into grit—and reminded us to lead from within, starting at home.

We also touch the hot stuff—free speech, MAiD, civil courage—not as rage-bait, but as dads and Christians who want to stand firm, love well, and keep our priorities straight.
