What happens when the deep inner work of spiritual formation begins to shape the way we lead others? In this episode, Gem welcomes Ed McManness, General Director of Frontier Ventures, and Matt Fogle, Chief Development Officer at Frontier Ventures, for a rich conversation at the intersection of soul care and leadership.
As leaders, it's easy to focus solely on strategy, productivity, and results—but what if transformation into Christlikeness was the foundation of our leadership? Ed and Matt share stories from their own journeys, offer practical wisdom for cultivating healthy organizational cultures, and reflect on how to lead from a place of abiding rather than striving.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-
How spiritual formation can directly impact leadership decisions
-
Practices for fostering presence over pressure in your leadership
-
Rhythms and boundaries that protect leaders from burnout
-
How to shape a spiritually formative organizational culture—even in the face of resistance
