Many Christian leaders begin their journey asking an important question: What can I accomplish for God?

 

But over time, a deeper question begins to emerge: What is God actually asking me to do?

 

In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling reflects on what he calls the inner conversion of a leader—the gradual shift from striving to do great things for God to learning how to work with God in the leadership we’ve been given.

 

Drawing from the insights of Thomas Green, the story of David and Nathan in Scripture, and the theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Alan explores how prayer reshapes our motives, how discernment guards us from misguided good intentions, and how leaders can learn to make room for the kingdom of God to work in and through them.

 

This episode invites leaders to consider a quieter, deeper way of leading—one rooted not in frantic effort, but in attentiveness to God’s presence and guidance.

The Paradigms Shaping Your Spiritual Life

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/48272538-1509-4551-9bce-b427011626b2/transcript

Leadership failures rarely happen all at once.

More often, they begin quietly—with small compromises, hurried lives, and a gradual drift away from the presence of God.

In this episode, Alan talks with Peter Greer, president and CEO of HOPE International and coauthor of the new book How Leaders Lose Their Way. Drawing from the biblical story of Solomon and years of experience working with leaders around the world, Peter explores why even sincere and capable leaders can slowly drift from their calling.

Together, Alan and Peter discuss the subtle forces that pull leaders off course—including achievement, isolation, and the “need for speed”—and the spiritual practices that help leaders stay rooted in Christ and finish well.

 

In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why leadership failure rarely happens suddenly
What the life of Solomon reveals about leadership drift
How hurry quietly erodes a leader’s soul
Why isolation makes leaders vulnerable to losing their way
Spiritual practices that help leaders stay close to Jesus

 

Whether you are leading a church, a team, a ministry, or a business, this conversation offers wisdom for staying grounded in Christ and leading from a deeper place of presence.
