There’s a subtle trap in ministry leadership that many pastors fall into—without even realizing it. In this episode, Jason Daye sits down with Nicole Massie Martin, chief impact officer at Christianity Today, to explore the unseen pressures that can distort your leadership, whether these distortions show up as insecurity, performance-driven ministry, or quiet pride.
You’ll discover:
- Two extremes that distort healthy leadership
- How insecurity and overconfidence both miss the mark
- The concern with triumphalism in today’s church culture
- Why Christ-centered leadership is both confident and humble
- How to embrace a cruciform vision of leadership that reflects Jesus
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to perform, prove, or protect your platform, this episode offers a powerful reframe—anchored in the life of Jesus.
