Alan Fadling and Gem FadlingWhen Leadership Feels Like It All Depends on You
April 6, 2026 ● 17 minShare this episode
Strength is easy to admire. But in the kingdom of God, strength is not where leadership begins.
In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan explores a different vision of Christian leadership—one rooted not in self-sufficiency, but in shared weakness, daily dependence, and confidence in a living Christ.
Drawing from the witness of the Trappist monks of Algeria, the wisdom of Andrew Murray and A. W. Tozer, and insights from recovery communities, Alan reflects on what it means to lead from honesty rather than performance. If Jesus is truly alive, then leadership is not about managing a legacy—it is about participating in his present life.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why shared weakness is essential for spiritual leadership
• The difference between serving a memory and walking with a living Christ
• What Andrew Murray called the “burning heart”
• Why spiritual receptivity may be the defining quality of enduring leaders
• A simple daily prayer that reshapes how you lead
If you’re feeling the quiet pressure to hold everything together, this episode will gently remind you that you were never meant to carry it alone.

Nothing is hidden from His sight because He knows all things; He knows hearts and our deepest needs, but when we share our burdens and cares with Him, we are reminding our soul of the goodness and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father.
