When leadership goes wrong we hear about it in the headlines, and it rightly stimulates important conversations. But do we talk enough about the changes we need to make and what it looks like to lead well, particularly as we manage the unusual tensions and pressures of church leadership?
Join Kate and Justin as they interview respected experts from a variety of perspectives and really dig into the issues that matter, asking what needs to change so that our leadership is healthy for us, for those we lead, and for the cultures and communities we are becoming.
Exploring core themes like culture, power, courage and compassion, this is essential listening for all Christian leaders processing, pondering and praying about how we lead in this season.

Olivia Omartey is often introduced as a trailblazer leader. She’s the first black female executive director of the ELIM pentecostal denomination and also leads as a pastor in a church in Birmingham. And she brings a wealth of experience from her background leading in the NHS, as well as in the Anglican church and the voluntary sector. She’s heavily involved in encouraging other leaders too, with a particular passion for those who, like her, describe themselves as ‘reluctant leaders.’
She’s a great example of courage in leadership - but what does it look like to follow a call you’re not sure about? And how does courage and confidence in our leadership balance with the need for humility - in our understanding of what ‘success’ is, and in the moments when things haven’t gone according to plan. Join us as we explore what it looks like to hold failure well, why we shouldn’t believe our own publicity and what authentic leadership looks like when we don’t look like the leader people expect or perhaps think they need.
Olivia has written ‘The gift of Christ responding and living fruitfully: An ecumenical course in 5 sessions” (York courses)
