It’s one thing to understand the kind of leadership that helps people flourish. It’s another thing to sustain it—especially over time.

In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling continues his reflections on Wendell Berry’s wisdom, turning from the life we cultivate in leadership to the life we must become to sustain it.

Drawing from Berry’s insights on character, familiarity, and discipline, Alan explores the deeper work of leadership formation—the kind of inner life that holds steady under pressure and grows through experience.

You’ll discover:

• Why good intentions and knowledge are not enough for lasting leadership
• How character is formed through everyday choices and responses
• What your reactions reveal about your inner life
• How reflection helps you grow in wisdom over time

This episode is for pastors, team leaders, and anyone who wants to become the kind of leader who can stay with the work long enough to see it bear fruit.
