How do you thrive as a leader when you’re not the one calling the shots? In this powerful episode, Pastor Jeff sits down with Pastor Kevin Lloyd—Executive Pastor of Ministries at LifePoint Church—for a behind-the-scenes look at leadership from the second chair.

Kevin unpacks the real work of building trust, carrying vision, and serving someone else’s dream with integrity and skill. From team culture and communication to clarity, accountability, and navigating creative leadership dynamics, this episode is a goldmine for anyone leading up, managing across, or stewarding influence from the middle.

Whether you’re a new manager, a long-time team player, or a senior leader looking to build a healthy, high-performing staff culture, this one is packed with honest wisdom and practical encouragement to help you lead well—wherever you are on the org chart.
