01What You'll Learn

01Nick’s story is almost hard to believe.
02But this conversation is not just about Nick’s redemption story.
03This episode also gets honest about the pressure leaders carry, the lie that “it’s lonely at the top,” the difference between spiritual fathers and mentors, and why learning to pause might be one of the most spiritual things a pastor can do.
04If you are a pastor, church planter, ministry leader, Christian entrepreneur, or someone who needs to be reminded that God can redeem any story and still use your life with purpose, this episode will challenge you, encourage you, and call you back to a healthier way of leading.
