About this listen

Have you ever served under a leader who holds everything close, rarely empowering their team to rise? In this episode, we explore why some ministry leaders struggle to release responsibility and how deep-rooted issues like insecurity, control, and misplaced identity can quietly sabotage both leaders and teams.

We’ll unpack six core barriers to empowering others:

  1. Insecurity & fear of being outshined
  2. Control issues & perfectionism
  3. Misunderstanding of leadership
  4. Unhealed wounds or ministry trauma
  5. Identity rooted in ministry instead of Christ
  6. Lack of vision for multiplication

But we won’t stop there—because there’s freedom on the other side. For each of these barriers, we share practical examples of how leaders can break free, find rest, and create margin for their teams to grow. From celebrating others’ wins, to embracing imperfection, to building leadership pipelines, this conversation is all about shifting from carrying the load alone to equipping the saints for the work of ministry (Eph. 4:12).

Whether you’re a ministry leader, a team member longing to flourish, or someone navigating leadership wounds, this episode will encourage you to reimagine leadership as multiplication—not preservation.
