In today’s episode, we’re diving into a theme that should resonate with pastors and leaders all around the world. Reflecting on the life and ministry of John the Baptist, we’ll explore how to speak with conviction and clarity amidst a world overwhelmed by fear, information overload, and shifting power structures.
John’s world was much like ours—fraught with political unrest, corrupt leaders, and widespread anxiety. And yet, it was to him, a voice in the wilderness, that God’s Word came. He shows us that real leadership doesn’t come from platforms or applause but from a place of inner surrender, courage, and freedom from people’s approval.
This episode will challenge you to lead with authenticity and to center your life on a slower, deeper spirituality. If you’re feeling called to renew your heart and strengthen your church’s culture in the midst of today’s chaos, join us as we learn from John the Baptist’s powerful, countercultural example.
Listen in to reorient, refocus, and be inspired to become an instrument in God’s hands.

As leaders, we have an internal drive to see our ministries flourish.
We have a vision for our churches, families, marriages, and cities to experience the resurrection life of Jesus. That’s why we do what we do!
Also, many of us know how easy it is for our God-given ambition to be hijacked by our shadows, fears, and insecurities.
The truth is - it's possible to build a large ministry, but in the process, lose your soul.
On today’s podcast, I hit this topic head-on and share with you 5 MUSTS for growing a flourishing ministry without losing your soul.
