Alan Fadling and Gem FadlingWhy Leadership Can't Outrun Formation (Jason Jensen)
March 23, 2026 ● 45 minShare this episode
Why do so many capable leaders struggle to lead with integrity, humility, and discernment over the long haul?
In this episode, Alan Fadling talks with Jason Jensen, vice president of spiritual foundations for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and author of Formed to Lead. Drawing from Luke 3–4, Jason invites leaders to recover a vision of leadership rooted not in performance, but in spiritual formation—where identity precedes assignment, wilderness becomes a place of renewal, and discernment matters more than drive.
Together, they explore how leaders are shaped by pressure, why rest restores authority, and how a life deeply formed by love can sustain faithful leadership over a lifetime.
