Leadership can be inspiring, but it can also be challenging, lonely, and demanding. The Imagine Leadership Podcast is a space for honest conversations that help shape healthy leaders.
The podcast is part of Imagine Leadership, an initiative committed to investing in healthy leaders and healthy churches.
Join us for the Imagine Leadership Conference, October 23–25, 2026, in Lewisporte, NL. Subscribe for new episodes and join the conversation as we imagine what healthy leadership can look like, together.
In this episode of the Imagine Leadership Podcast, Owen Roberts and Jeremy Nippard explore the posture we bring to leadership and the importance of approaching leadership with humility, intentionality, and a willingness to grow.
As leaders who have been instrumental in planning the Imagine Leadership Conference, they discuss the mindset we carry into spaces of learning, connection, and vision, and how our posture shapes the way we lead and serve others.
As we prepare for Imagine, this conversation invites us to consider not just what we hope to gain from the weekend, but how we are showing up as leaders and what God may want to develop in us.

Building Healthy Church Culture
Church culture doesn't happen by accident. It's shaped by the way we lead, the people we make room for, and the values we choose to live out together.
In Episode 3 of the Imagine Leadership Podcast, Steve Grimes sits down with Nelly Latchman, Young Adults Pastor at Waterloo Pentecostal Assembly, for an honest conversation about building healthy church culture. Together, they explore what it looks like to create environments where people feel seen, valued, represented, and empowered to step into their gifts.
From leadership pipelines to creating space for different voices and experiences, Nelly shares practical insight into how leaders can help shape a culture where people know they belong and can see a place for themselves.
Healthy culture isn't something we simply talk about. It's something we build - one relationship, one opportunity, and one leader at a time.

Leaders Who Never Stop Learning
The best leaders never stop learning.
In Episode 2 of the Imagine Leadership Podcast, Steve Grimes sits down with Dr. Allison MacGregor, Associate Dean of Social Sciences at Redeemer University, whose experience spans both pastoral ministry and academic leadership. Together, they explore what it means to lead with a posture of curiosity, humility, and a willingness to keep growing.
From stepping into new experiences to challenging our assumptions, Allison reminds us that leadership isn't about having all the answers - it's about staying willing to learn, adapt, and put ourselves out there.
Because when leaders never stop learning, they create space to lead with greater depth, wisdom, and purpose.

The Weight of Leadership
Leadership is heavier than most people realize. Behind every decision, every conversation, and every ministry is a leader carrying more than people often see.
In the first episode of the Imagine Leadership Podcast, Steve Grimes sits down with Dave Lombardo, Lead Pastor of New Hope Methodist Church in Newmarket, Ontario, for an honest conversation about the hidden weight of leadership.
Together, they explore the pressures leaders face, the dangers of carrying those burdens alone, and why healthy leadership begins by allowing the Good Shepherd to care for those who care for others.
If you've ever felt the weight of ministry, questioned whether you're carrying too much, or simply needed the reminder that you're not alone, this conversation is for you.
Healthy leadership doesn't come from pretending you're strong enough to carry everything. It comes from learning to lead with honesty, dependence on God, and rhythms that sustain you for the long haul.
