In this episode of Conversations with Josh Andrew, I tackle one of the biggest problems in modern ministry—the loss of relational leadership. Somewhere along the way, church leadership became about polish, platforms, and production—and we forgot that Jesus led through presence, not distance.
I unpack eight principles of relational leadership that every pastor and church leader needs to rediscover. From walking among your people to leading with care instead of control, this episode is a reminder that you can’t graduate from being relational.
Whether you’re a pastor, creative, or ministry leader, this conversation will challenge how you think about influence, leadership, and what it truly means to shepherd people.
