What does authentic Christian leadership actually look like in today's cultural moment? Jason Jensen, Vice President of Spiritual Foundations for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA, discovered the answer through 29 years of ministry at UC Berkeley—one of the most challenging campus environments in the country. After his proven Bible study techniques fell flat in a cross-cultural context, Jason learned that authentic Christian leadership flows from character formation, not charisma or methodological mastery. His supervisor's simple question—"What do you experience in my leadership?"—launched a transformation that would reshape his entire understanding of spiritual authority.
Drawing from the Gospel of Luke, Jason reveals why the most influential leaders in God's story are often the unexpected ones, and why aiming for "healthy and holy" beats "smart and fast" every time. He shares how authentic Christian leadership develops through integrity, community discernment, and learning to follow God's movement rather than trying to fix institutional problems. Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, or volunteer stepping into leadership roles, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what true spiritual authority looks like and discover how to lead as "secondary supporting cast" in God's ongoing story.
