Faith Driven Leadership

What happens when a leader becomes so focused on leading everyone else that they stop taking care of themselves?

In this episode of Faith Driven Leadership, Jonathan Hankin sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Harris to talk about why faithful leadership begins with learning to lead yourself first—physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.

Jeff brings more than four decades of experience in higher education, lifestyle medicine, mentoring, discipleship, church leadership, and coaching. Throughout his career, he has helped leaders, pastors, faculty members, students, and professionals pursue healthier and more fulfilling lives.

In this conversation, Jonathan and Jeff discuss why leaders often neglect their health until something goes wrong, how misplaced definitions of success can affect our relationships and well-being, and why boundaries are essential for sustainable leadership.

Jeff also shares one of the most important lessons he learned personally: leadership cannot be driven by the need to please everyone. Healthy leaders must be willing to tell the truth, establish boundaries, confront difficult situations, and continue doing the inner work required to grow.

They also explore:
• Why leadership health is about more than exercise
• The connection between physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual wellbeing
• Why successful leaders still need coaches and mentors
• How boundaries can restore energy and effectiveness
• Why emotional intelligence changed Jeff's leadership
• The danger of people-pleasing
• How faith reshapes our definition of success
• Why healthy relationships matter to organizational performance
• What emerging leaders need to understand about humility
• Why every leader should regularly ask, “What am I learning?”
• The importance of listening and lifelong learning
• What faithful leadership looks like in everyday life

One of Jeff's strongest challenges for leaders is simple:
What am I learning?

Leadership growth doesn't happen accidentally. We have to intentionally invest in our health, relationships, character, faith, and development.

If you're leading a business, nonprofit, ministry, team, or organization—and you've been so busy leading others that you've neglected yourself—this conversation is for you.

What does faithful leadership look like when ambition, pressure, and the desire to grow begin to take over?

In this episode of Faith Driven Leadership, Jonathan Hankin sits down with creative entrepreneur Blake Curry to discuss his journey through hardship, faith, creativity, leadership, and learning to build a life that is sustainable, not just productive.

Blake shares how early struggles shaped his faith, how a mentor helped him discover his voice, and why leadership means seeing potential in people before they see it in themselves. He also reflects on the lessons he learned under poor leadership and how those experiences shaped his commitment to lead with humility, care, and clear standards.

Their conversation explores:

• Owning your faith and purpose
• Turning creativity into service and leadership
• Recognizing and developing potential in others
• Learning from bad leadership without becoming bitter
• Choosing optimism and responsibility in difficult seasons
• Leading with humility instead of fear
• Redefining success as contentment and presence
• Making room for rest, wonder, and spiritual health
• Protecting people from transactional leadership
• Creating habits that keep you grounded
• Saying no to opportunities that do not align with your values
• Clinging to Christ through every season

Blake’s reminder is both simple and needed: You do not have to perform for everyone else. Christ loves you, and you are enough in Him.

What is one area where you need to slow down, listen, and let God reset your definition of success?

What does it take to lead with courage, humility, and faith in a high-pressure environment?

In this episode of Faith Driven Leadership, Jonathan Hankin talks with Shane Forbes, a law enforcement leader with more than 29 years of experience. Shane shares how his career shaped his understanding of leadership, trust, accountability, courage, and servant leadership.

Shane reflects on the influential sergeant who taught him how to recognize people’s strengths, give capable officers room to lead, and distinguish between honest mistakes and failures of character. He also explains how his Christian faith challenged him to move beyond dominance, ego, and fear-based leadership toward greater humility, grace, empathy, and sacrifice.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• How to know when someone is ready to be trusted
• Why leaders should develop people instead of micromanaging them
• The difference between mistakes in judgment and failures of character
• Why fear and punishment often produce minimum effort
• How leaders can make difficult decisions and communicate them well
• What servant leadership looks like in demanding environments
• Why “fake it till you make it” is dangerous leadership advice
• How faith changes our understanding of courage and success
• Why leaders must continually grow rather than remain stagnant
• The importance of putting the needs of others ahead of personal ambition

Shane also shares a difficult professional transition that ultimately brought his leadership journey full circle. He is now developing field training officers in a role similar to the one held by the leader who influenced him early in his career.

Whether you lead in law enforcement, business, ministry, a nonprofit, or your own community, this conversation will challenge you to lead with greater courage, competence, humility, and genuine care for others.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Healthy leadership is not built on fear, position, or pretending to have every answer. It is built through trust, humility, sacrifice, clear communication, and a commitment to helping others become better.

Are you doing great work, but not getting recognized, promoted, or compensated the way you should?

In this episode of Change Agent Leadership, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Hale to unpack the real reason behind the “confidence gap.”

Here’s the truth:

It’s not just about confidence.

It’s about how clearly your value is understood inside your organization.

Together, we explore:

• Why high-performing leaders (especially women) undersell their impact
• The difference between confidence and strategy
• How unclear roles and expectations create hidden leadership gaps
• A powerful tool called the Evidence Ladder to make your value visible
• Practical ways to connect your work to real business outcomes
• How leaders (men and women) can better advocate for themselves and others

This episode is packed with practical leadership coaching you can apply immediately—whether you’re preparing for a performance review, seeking a promotion, or simply trying to lead more effectively.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’m doing everything right—why isn’t it translating into results?”

This episode is for you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The confidence gap is often a visibility gap, not a capability gap
• If your value isn’t legible at the decision level, it won’t scale
• Leaders often communicate effort instead of impact
• Clear, measurable outcomes build credibility faster than charisma
• Journaling your impact creates long-term leverage in reviews and promotions
• Leaders must actively define and communicate their role’s value—not wait for clarity

In this episode of Change Agent Leadership, I address a critical moment all leaders face: recognizing when growth slows down or habits become stale, signaling the need for transformation. Drawing inspiration from Nancy Duarte and Patti Sanchez’s book 'Illuminate,' I introduce the concept of the '(re) Dream' stage, a crucial phase where leaders can rejuvenate their vision and energy. 

The episode covers how to identify signs of stagnation, the importance of 're' dreaming for personal and organizational growth, and practical steps to implement this strategy. I encourage you to reflect on your current positions, recognize areas needing revitalization, and take proactive steps to enter a new era of leadership.
