Today, I'm very excited to share a special conversation I had with my pastor, Chris Atwell. Chris Atwell is the Lead Pastor of Vision and Instruction at <a href= "http://porticocville.org/">Portico Church</a> in Charlottesville, Virginia, which he planted in 2004. Chris is also an area leader in Acts 29's U.S. North Atlantic Network. He serves as the Dean of Students at Grimké Seminary. Chris is married to Jenn, and they have three daughters. This is my first time sitting down with a pastor or religious leader on this show, but it was really special for me. No matter what your faith background, I hope you'll enjoy this conversation about a faith that has really had a big impact on my life and worldview. Chris gets quite vulnerable with us and shares his battle with cancer, how he dealt with suffering, his perspective on leadership in the non-profit space, and his views on peacemaking—something that is always relevant but certainly relevant right now in the US.

#52: Chris Atwell (My Pastor) — On Cancer, Suffering, and Peacemaking

Let's be honest. The hardest person you will ever have to lead is the person you look at in the mirror everyday.


Self-leadership is the most important thing we do as leaders, but it's hard.


And it hasn't gotten any easier in a world of smart phone addiction, social media comparison, global pandemics, and information overload (just to name a few obstacles).


That's why Intentional Leader exists.


We help leaders take the guesswork out of self-leadership, fight a reactionary lifestyle, accelerate their personal growth, and achieve their God-given potential at home, at work, and in their communities.


This is why we get out of bed each morning. We love helping leaders on their personal growth journey! Because we know when the leader gets better everyone benefits. Organizations, communities, and families all thrive when the leader is thriving.

We are a team of ordinary people with an extraordinary passion for personal growth and helping leaders thrive.


Join this community to pursue personal growth and leadership excellence, to inspire others, and make a lasting impact on the world. Life is short, so let's make it count by living an intentional life.


On this podcast, Cal Walters — a follower of Jesus, a husband, father, West Point graduate, former Infantry Officer, Army Ranger, combat veteran, lawyer, and Army JAG — passionately explores ways to live intentionally, make each day count, and lead with greater influence and impact.


Cal firmly believes leadership matters, and this podcast will help you lead yourself and inspire others. Cal believes we each have a unique contribution to make to the world, and he wants to help you make yours!
