In this compelling episode, former Navy chaplain Greg Woodard reveals why brilliant leaders burn out and how to lead from authentic calling rather than external pressure. Drawing from 22 years of military service, including time as the sole spiritual care provider for 800 naval personnel during deployment, Greg shares the four essential rhythms, spiritual, physical, relational, and emotional, that kept him resilient in high-stress environments. He challenges the toxic "burnout for Jesus" mentality that has plagued Christian leadership for generations.

Greg's book, "Leadership from Within: Navigating the Path Towards Soul-Driven Success," offers a permission slip for faith-driven leaders to prioritize holistic self-care without guilt. He unpacks the critical difference between leading from overflow versus depletion, explains why character must match charisma for long-term success, and helps leaders rediscover their identity as God's beloved before they are ministry professionals. Whether you're a pastor feeling the weight of congregational expectations or a leader struggling to maintain boundaries, this conversation provides practical wisdom for sustainable, soul-driven leadership that honours both mission and humanity.
