5 Questions Every Christian Leader Must Ask to Avoid Burnout and Lead with Impact

5 Questions Every Christian Leader Must Ask to Avoid Burnout and Lead with Impact

In today's podcast, we dive into 5 must-ask questions that every Christian leader should regularly reflect on. Whether you're running a business, leading a team, building a ministry, growing a podcast, or simply trying to live on purpose — these questions will challenge and recalibrate your leadership from the inside out.

Are you leading, serving, and pushing forward… but deep down, something feels off?

Maybe the results are there — the numbers, the platform, the productivity — but the peace, the purpose, the clarity? Not so much.


In this podcast episode, we dive into 5 must-ask questions that every Christian leader should regularly reflect on. Whether you're running a business, leading a team, building a ministry, growing a podcast, or simply trying to live on purpose — these questions will challenge and recalibrate your leadership from the inside out.


Drawing from his own experience in corporate management, coaching entrepreneurs, and consulting churches, schools, and organizations, Jeff shares practical insight, biblical truth, and personal stories that help you discern:


  • Whether you’re managing tasks or truly developing people
  • If your schedule reflects your God-given calling
  • Why some “growth” isn’t healthy — and how to course-correct
  • The difference between compliance and trust in leadership
  • How to stop chasing applause and lead from God’s approval


You’ll walk away with clarity, encouragement, and the kind of soul-level reset that helps you lead with impact, not just activity.
