In this conversation, Judy Stevenson invites us into her story—not just the polished parts, but the real, Spirit-led journey of leadership, faith, and unlearning.

Judy shares what happened when she chose boldness over comfort, and how that decision cracked open a new season of trust and transformation. We talk about how true leadership isn't about perfect strategy—it’s about people, prayer, and the willingness to be honest about what’s working and what’s not.

From empowering young people to lead, to building a culture of generosity, to helping everyday people see themselves as disciple-makers, Judy’s ministry is a masterclass in making room for the Spirit, for community, and for each other.

Takeaways

Episode field note: Practice self examination 

So much of leadership comes down to this:

Do I love Jesus with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength?

Get real about your why.
