If you’ve ever felt the pressure to copy what’s working for someone else—to preach like them, dress like them, build like them—this episode is for you. I’ve been there, and I’m done with it.
In this raw and honest episode of Conversations, I’m speaking directly to pastors, church leaders, and creatives battling imposter syndrome, burnout, or the constant pull to be impressive over obedient. The truth is simple: God didn’t call you to mimic someone else’s game. He called you to play your own.
I walk through 7 convictions that have reshaped how I lead, live, and build:
Why authenticity is your true authority
The danger of building churches for likes instead of lives
Why Jesus builds the Church—not branding
What real discipleship looks like in 2025
How to lead without pretending or performing
Why boldness matters more than busyness
And how every healthy team starts with a healthy you
Whether you're leading in the trenches or just trying to find your voice again, this episode is your reminder: you’re not a copy—and God didn’t get it wrong with you.
