Why do so many Christian leaders look nothing like Jesus as they lead? Is it even possible to pursue leadership without doing damage to our souls and hurting the people we’re trying to serve? If you have followers, you’re a leader. To serve them well, you need to lead well. But that doesn’t just mean learning to lead effectively in terms of getting things done; it means learning to lead faithfully, loving God and others with genuine integrity and Christlike character. None of us can be failure-free leaders, but by God’s grace, all of us can learn to be faithful leaders. Mission Central is for emerging leaders: both young leaders and those who are getting their start in leadership, regardless of their age. We want to help you start right, leading faithfully from the beginning. Our podcast conversations focus on four elements of healthy Christian leadership: spiritual formation, effective leadership, emotional health, and multi-ethnic community. Our diverse group of guests speak with conviction and wisdom about these topics. Plus, they offer clear next steps to help you put their ideas into practice wherever you lead. Visit missioncentral.church for full interviews, our bi-weekly blog, and info on in-person Christian leadership development events in the Chicago area.

“I was like an alcoholic who got a job at a bar. It was not a good recipe for my health.”
That’s how Lance Witt describes his years as an executive pastor. While he’s thankful for that season of ministry, he has also changed his approach to leadership. In this episode, Lance shares how he learned to pay attention to his soul, practicing healthy rhythms of time with Jesus, free from compulsive hurry and ego-driven ambition.
After many years serving at Saddleback Church (home to Rick Warren and The Purpose Driven Life), Lance now leads Replenish, helping others discover a way to lead where the results come from a healthy, God-centered, humble life.
