Ron Lynch: Risk, Surrender, and Becoming Who You Were Created to Be

In this episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark Jewell is joined by Ron Lynch — filmmaker, screenwriter, entrepreneur, and spiritual thinker — for one of the most profound and unconventional conversations the show has hosted to date. Ron brings a rare perspective shaped by decades in Hollywood, direct-response marketing, storytelling, and deep personal surrender. From writing films connected to Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, to launching billion-dollar products like OxiClean and GoPro, to stepping away from fame-driven success in favor of purpose-driven impact, Ron’s life embodies the very principles he teaches. Together, Mark and Ron explore a powerful idea: what if your life is a screenplay already written — and your job is to step into it intentionally? They unpack surrender, ego, risk, divine interruption, and how stagnation often signals that we’re resisting the next plot twist God is inviting us into. This episode isn’t about productivity. It’s about becoming. Key Takeaways Intentionality Begins with Surrender For Ron, intention isn’t control — it’s surrender. True intentional living means releasing ego, making space for divine interruption, and trusting that God’s plan is better than our own. When we deviate, we’re corrected — not punished, but lovingly redirected. Your Life Has an Arc — and You Are the Main Character Every great story has a beginning, a transformation, and an ending. Ron challenges listeners to stop drifting through life and start recognizing where they are in their own narrative. Growth requires movement. Stagnation is a sign the story has stalled. If You’re Stuck, You’re Avoiding Risk When life feels boring, stagnant, or misaligned, Ron offers a direct truth: you’re not taking enough risk. Change requires stepping into uncertainty. Plot twists only happen when the hero is willing to act. Plot Points Create Progress Just like a screenplay, life requires intentional plot points — concrete actions that move the story forward. Vision without action keeps people trapped in fantasy. Transformation happens when ideas are turned into steps. Leave White Space for the Call Ron emphasizes the importance of margin. When life is over-scheduled, there’s no room for unexpected opportunity. The most meaningful shifts often come through interruptions — conversations, invitations, or moments we couldn’t have planned. You Are Not the Studio Head One of the most grounding reminders of the episode: you are not in charge — and you don’t want to be. Leadership, faith, and fulfillment grow when we stop pretending we’re in control and return to childlike trust. Becoming You Is the Assignment Ron reframes life’s purpose simply and powerfully: you are here to become fully who God created you to be. Not someone else. Not a safer version. Not a smaller version. Becoming you is the work. Notable Quotes “Intentionality for me is surrender — because God’s plan is better than mine.” – Ron Lynch “If you want a great story, but you won’t take risks, the problem isn’t God — it’s you.” – Ron Lynch “Growth requires plot twists. If nothing is changing, you’re resisting the next scene.” – Ron Lynch “Leave space in your life — that’s where the call comes.” – Ron Lynch “Your job isn’t to control the story. It’s to step into it.” – Mark Jewell Action Steps Reflect on where you are in your life’s story — beginning, midpoint, or transformation. Identify one risk you know you’re being called to take — and commit to it. Create margin in your schedule for interruption and opportunity. Define your “main character” by identifying traits you admire in others. Stop waiting for certainty — movement creates clarity.
