What does it look like to lead without being quietly driven by anxiety?

In this reflective solo episode, Alan Fadling—author of A Non-Anxious Life—explores what it means to lead from peace rather than from pressure in a world marked by tension, fatigue, and uncertainty. Drawing from Scripture, spiritual formation, and years of working with Christian leaders, Alan invites listeners to consider a deeper, more durable peace—one rooted not in circumstances, but in communion with Christ.

Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, Alan offers a wiser path: learning to relocate it, so it no longer leads. Along the way, he reflects on why peace is not just a personal virtue, but a public gift leaders offer the people they serve.

Released on the two-year anniversary of A Non-Anxious Life, this episode is an invitation to return to a way of leading marked by trust, presence, and hope—even in troubling times.
