Episode 8- What God Wants More Than Your Leadership

In the season finale of The Practices of a Healthy Leader, Brad and Rick reflect on the deeper story behind healthy, sustained leadership: learning to lead from security, belovedness, and surrender rather than performance, pressure, or identity striving.

Rick shares his own leadership journey through early success, mounting pressure, personal pain, vocational disorientation, and the slow redemptive work of God. What once felt like failure and abandonment became an invitation to deeper sonship, dependence, and freedom.

Together, Brad and Rick explore how insecurity, image management, people-pleasing, and exhaustion can become portals into God’s grace rather than obstacles to leadership.

This episode invites leaders to name where they really are, bring their hidden places before the Father, and rediscover leadership not as a way to prove themselves, but as an overflow of who God has created and redeemed them to be.
