Leading with Vision, Vulnerability & Faith — A Conversation with Edgar Sandoval

What does it look like to lead with conviction and compassion? In this episode of The Faith Driven Leader, I sit down with Edgar Sandoval Sr., President and CEO of World Vision, to talk about vision, authenticity, and faith-driven leadership.

Edgar’s journey—from arriving in the U.S. with $50 and no English to leading one of the world’s largest Christian humanitarian organizations—is as inspiring as it is humbling. We explore the layers leaders wear, how to slow down decisions when it matters most, and why obedience to God is a more powerful measure of success than any metric.

This conversation will stretch your thinking and strengthen your resolve to lead with both purpose and love.

🎯 Key Takeaways:

God doesn’t just equip the called—He also calls the equipped.
Big visions need clear, tangible wins to stay motivating.
Authentic leadership invites others to bring their full selves to the table.
Redefining success through obedience, not just outcomes.
Strategic leadership sometimes means slowing down to truly listen.

💡 Your Leadership Challenge: What’s one decision you’re tempted to rush this week? Take a beat. Invite more voices. Ask God for wisdom. Slowing down might be the boldest move you make.
