Leading in the Direction of Relationship with Wendy Hu-Au
Summary In this conversation, Pastor Wendy Hu-Au invites us into the story beneath the title—her unexpected and deeply formative journey into serving as senior pastor at Metro Hope Church. What emerges isn’t just a leadership story, but a picture of what happens when faith is lived in real community. We talk about the early moments that shaped her, the people who formed her, and why she’s so drawn to the idea of microchurches—not as a strategy, but as a way of being with people. Wendy keeps bringing us back to this: transformation happens in proximity, in honest relationships, in showing up. She names the tension of leadership with refreshing honesty—the vulnerability it requires, the questions it surfaces, and the courage it takes to stay open when easy answers aren’t there. And woven throughout is this quiet but steady conviction: the church has a role to play in pushing back against what diminishes people and partnering in what brings life. Takeaways The gospel has to touch real life, or it’s not good news yet. Faithful leadership stays open, even when the answers have not been revealed yet. Resisting empire involves creating inclusive spaces for marginalized voices. Episode field note: Leading Without All the Answers There’s a moment in leadership most people try to avoid, but most of us live in: I don’t know. The world is not getting simpler. And leadership that depends on certainty is going to keep collapsing under the weight of real life. Maybe faithful leadership isn’t about closing the gap between question and answer. Maybe it’s about becoming the kind of person who can stay in the gap—and not leave others there alone.

How is it with Your Ambition? with Ryan Tinetti
Summary In this conversation, Ryan Tinetti invites us to reconsider ambition, moving away from pressure and performance toward something quieter and deeper. Through personal stories, Scripture, and lived wisdom, he offers a vision of life and leadership anchored in rest, shaped by humility and faithfulness over productivity. Episode field note: Clarity Over Cleverness When you’re leading change, resist the urge to be subtle. People don’t need hints, they need clear direction. Say it plainly, repeat it often, and make the path forward obvious. It may feel like over-communicating, but in moments of change, clarity is what helps people move.

You Were Never Meant to Lead Alone with E.K. Strawser
Summary: We’ve normalized something that was never meant to be normal: leading alone. Rev. Dr. Eun K. Strawser invites us into a conversation about the gift of shared leadership. We talk about the ways we hold onto power, how our metrics are shaping the wrong outcomes, and why the environments we build may be working against the very transformation we long to see. What if shared leadership is exactly what the church was always meant to embody? Shared leadership isn’t just theory or a strategy. It’s biblical, practical, and transformational to the leader, the church and community. Takeaways We don’t have a leadership shortage, we have a maturity gap. What you measure is what you’re forming (so measure wisely). Healthy churches are rooted in people, place and community, not just growth. Formation happens in place, not just in programs. Episode field note: Take an honest inventory- Who do you actually share power with? Most of us can answer that pretty quickly. And for many leaders, the answer is… we don’t. We may delegate tasks, but we’re not truly sharing power. So the deeper question becomes: Who do you want to share power with and why?
