The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership and Life // Bryan Halferty
“Ultimately, we don’t crave answers. We crave connection.”
I am thrilled to introduce my good friend, Bryan Halferty, a pastor and author who leads Anchor Church, a community of imperfect Jesus-followers in Tacoma, Washington. In this refreshingly candid episode, we talk about his church planting and writing journey, our universal human longing for connection, and the ways that vulnerability allows us to experience the connection with God and others we are made for. Unabashedly honest about his own imperfection, Bryan invites us all to live and lead with greater transparency, experiencing the transformation that's only possible when we show up as our authentic selves.
Bryan is releasing his first book, Terrible Beauty, on April 1st! Join us as we dive into a behind-the-scenes glimpse of his five-year-long writing journey, as well as the practical ways he’s learned to be unapologetically himself—both on the page and in real life.
His book is a memoir that explores how life’s most challenging moments—failure, fear, and uncertainty—can become unexpected pathways to grace and transformation. With poetic insight and raw honesty, Bryan invites readers to embrace the risks of faith, where beauty is found not in perfection, but in the messy, redemptive work of community and trust in God. Rooted in Bryan's experiences planting a church and facing personal and marital crises, Terrible Beauty is a meditation on grace, resilience, and the power of vulnerability in shaping an authentic faith.
This episode (and Bryan’s book) is for anyone who finds themself in a position of leadership or influence on other humans—which let’s be honest, is all of us. It's for anyone who longs to live a life of deeper connection, meaning, or faith. And it's for anyone who needs to know how facing the insecurities, failures, or fears that swirl within us will lead us toward greater security in our own skin.
