How Much Is Enough? with Clare De Graaf

Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast we welcome Clare De Graaf. Clare is a longtime ministry leader, author, and founder of the ministry known for helping people live out the teachings of Jesus in practical ways. In this episode, Clare shares how his leadership journey was shaped by success, burnout, and a deep reevaluation of what it means to follow Jesus faithfully. He talks about the tension between ambition and obedience, the cost of surrender, and how true servant leadership begins when we stop trying to build our own kingdom and start serving God’s kingdom. Join us as Clare unpacks the lessons that reshaped his faith journey and what his journey looked like from ambition to surrender.
