How to lead well without losing yourself

Find more episodes on Sanctuary First

This week on the Emerging Emmaus Podcast we spoke with leadership coach and speaker Shona Stirling for an honest conversation about leadership, faith, and what it means to live well. Shona works with leaders across business and church contexts who are wrestling with deeper questions about purpose, emotional health, and how to stay rooted in Christ in demanding roles.

Together they explore the pressures leaders face, why paying attention to our emotions and inner life matters, and how churches can cultivate discipleship cultures that are life-giving and help people grow in Christ.

If you’ve ever wondered how to lead well without losing yourself—or your faith—this conversation offers thoughtful wisdom and encouragement for the journey.
