You Cannot Give What You Do Not Have

In this episode of LLI, Chad Veach discusses the realities of building a church and leading people with Pastor Andrew Carter. They explore the unexpected challenges and rewards of leadership, the importance of emotional health, healthy rhythms, and taking care of yourself so you can lead from a place of strength rather than exhaustion. Andrew shares his journey from foster care and a difficult past to finding faith, building a ministry through social media, and eventually planting a church in Inglewood, while Chad and Andrew unpack what it means to lead when people misunderstand your decisions, build a team of trusted leaders, and stay open to correction. They also discuss the qualities that make someone worth investing in, the importance of character, competency, commitment, chemistry, and calling, and why rest and Sabbath are essential for having something to give to others.
