What does it mean to trust God completely today?

“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him.
~II Chronicles 32:7
 
It means the same as it did before.  It means believing in his holy word and regardless of where your life may be currently going, don't be afraid of what may come because He will always be there to carry you through.

Think of the most "Corinthian" television show you know. Then imagine if the lead characters became Christians What problems would they encounter?

Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”
~I Corinthians 7:1
 
The one show that comes to mind is the show "The Real Housewives of (insert major city name)".  If many of the main characters became Christians, they would have to give up much of their wealthy lives.

How can charismatic leaders avoid attracting attention to themselves rather than to their message?

by being more humble and telling the truth.

How do you react when someone - a parent, teacher, boss, pastor - tries to straighten you out?

I am writing this not to shame you but to warn you as my dear children.
~I Corinthians 4:14
 
It depends.  I believe most of those kinds of people would be straightening me out because of something that I am not doing right.  It would not be a good thing if they were trying to do so if they didn't like me for some reason.

These kings demonstrate that one person's faith can affect a great many others. Think of strong leaders you know up close. What makes them effect at motivating and inspiring others?

He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you when you are with him.  If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
~2 Chronicles 15:2
 
I would say their assertive ness and courage.
