On this episode of the Good Leader Podcast, we’re joined by Archie Coates, Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton, for a deeply honest and refreshing conversation about sustainable leadership, emotional maturity, and staying rooted over the long haul.
Archie reflects on his unexpected journey into ministry, from early days in sales to planting a church in Brighton and now leading one of the most influential churches in the UK.
Together, we explore what it really takes to remain grounded after “a thousand Sundays,” why emotional calm matters more than hype, and how leaders can resist the pressure to strive and perform.We also talk about raising up the next generation of leaders, creating safe environments for risk and failure, staying connected in large organisations, and why being a disciple of Jesus matters more than leading a successful church.
