The best leaders never stop learning.

In Episode 2 of the Imagine Leadership Podcast, Steve Grimes sits down with Dr. Allison MacGregor, Associate Dean of Social Sciences at Redeemer University, whose experience spans both pastoral ministry and academic leadership. Together, they explore what it means to lead with a posture of curiosity, humility, and a willingness to keep growing.

From stepping into new experiences to challenging our assumptions, Allison reminds us that leadership isn't about having all the answers - it's about staying willing to learn, adapt, and put ourselves out there.

Because when leaders never stop learning, they create space to lead with greater depth, wisdom, and purpose.

Leadership is heavier than most people realize. Behind every decision, every conversation, and every ministry is a leader carrying more than people often see.

In the first episode of the Imagine Leadership Podcast, Steve Grimes sits down with Dave Lombardo, Lead Pastor of New Hope Methodist Church in Newmarket, Ontario, for an honest conversation about the hidden weight of leadership.

Together, they explore the pressures leaders face, the dangers of carrying those burdens alone, and why healthy leadership begins by allowing the Good Shepherd to care for those who care for others.

If you've ever felt the weight of ministry, questioned whether you're carrying too much, or simply needed the reminder that you're not alone, this conversation is for you.

Healthy leadership doesn't come from pretending you're strong enough to carry everything. It comes from learning to lead with honesty, dependence on God, and rhythms that sustain you for the long haul.

Leadership is heavier than people think. The Imagine Leadership Podcast exists to create space for honest conversations about the challenges, joys, and responsibilities of leadership. Join us this season, as we explore what it means to become healthy leaders who build healthy churches.
