Unapologetic, bold, honest church leadership

Drew Barker is a master storyteller. I’m not sure if this has always been a raw, natural talent of his, or if it’s been fine tuned over years of experience, but the guy knows how to craft a story that is engaging, vulnerable, and thought-provoking. Most church leaders or volunteers should identify with any number of situations or thoughts covered in this podcast, but more importantly should walk away after listening thinking, “How can we do it better, be intentional, LIVE with integrity?” This podcast packs a powerful punch right out of the gate with the first episode, and continues to unapologetically tackle the hard-to-talk-about subjects surrounding trauma, ministry, church hurt, and leadership. Drew and guests uncover the Church’s weak areas and blind spots when it comes to being flawed humans while leading messy people with the genuine care, authenticity, connection and true community that people so crave. If you’re seeking that kind of insight and want to be part of the conversation, this podcast is for you.
