In this episode of The Backstage Leadership Podcast, David Jones sits down with long-time friend and ministry partner David Adams, Media Director at Grace House in Greenwood, Indiana.
Together they unpack what true humility in leadership looks like — how great leaders don’t just give direction but know how to follow well.
They talk about lessons learned from 25+ years of friendship and ministry together, how charisma can open doors but character keeps you there, and why staying teachable is one of the most overlooked traits in church leadership today.
You’ll hear real stories, personal reflections, and wisdom inspired by Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard — all pointing back to one truth: leadership is about serving first.
