In this soulful episode, Rob sits down with long-time peer and "architect of hope," Dr. Matt Russell, Executive Director of Iconoclast Artists & projectCURATE.  Together, they deconstruct the traditional myths of leadership, moving past "performative vulnerability" toward something much more rugged: Wild Trust.

Sharing a powerful excerpt from his book, Whole Leaders Wild Trust, Rob sets the stage for a discussion on why trust isn't a byproduct of perfection, but rather a result of courageous systems and the "presence of repair" in the face of human brokenness.

Key Takeaways:

What happens when leaders invite feedback before decisions are finalized instead of after they're announced?

In this episode of Called to Flourish, Peter Krol, President, and Tom Hallman, Vice President of DiscipleMakers, share how their ministry built one of the most engaged workplace cultures in their sector by creating clear rhythms of listening, collaboration, and shared ownership. Rather than relying on top-down decision-making, they developed practical ways for staff to contribute input early—strengthening alignment as the organization expanded from 11 to 26 campuses. Their experience offers a compelling model for ministry leaders who want to grow without losing mission clarity or cultural health.

You'll gain insight on:

• Why inviting feedback early strengthens trust across teams

• How shared fundraising builds unity throughout an organization

• How engagement surveys help leaders detect culture drift sooner

• What it takes to scale ministry while protecting mission alignment
