Leadership failures rarely happen all at once.
More often, they begin quietly—with small compromises, hurried lives, and a gradual drift away from the presence of God.
In this episode, Alan talks with Peter Greer, president and CEO of HOPE International and coauthor of the new book How Leaders Lose Their Way. Drawing from the biblical story of Solomon and years of experience working with leaders around the world, Peter explores why even sincere and capable leaders can slowly drift from their calling.
Together, Alan and Peter discuss the subtle forces that pull leaders off course—including achievement, isolation, and the “need for speed”—and the spiritual practices that help leaders stay rooted in Christ and finish well.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why leadership failure rarely happens suddenly
What the life of Solomon reveals about leadership drift
How hurry quietly erodes a leader’s soul
Why isolation makes leaders vulnerable to losing their way
Spiritual practices that help leaders stay close to Jesus

Whether you are leading a church, a team, a ministry, or a business, this conversation offers wisdom for staying grounded in Christ and leading from a deeper place of presence.

How do you trust God when the future feels fragile?

In this conversation, Tim and Hilary Timmons share their journey of living with an incurable cancer diagnosis and discovering a deeper, more intentional faith along the way. Rather than shrinking their lives, suffering became an invitation into daily life with Jesus.

Together we explore spiritual growth through hardship, the tension of grief and gratitude, marriage under pressure, and what it really means to follow Jesus beyond Sunday church services.

This episode speaks to anyone navigating fear of the future, chronic illness, uncertainty, or the quiet longing for more in the Christian life. It’s a conversation about hope, resilience, spiritual formation, and waking up to the presence of God in ordinary moments.

If you’re searching for peace in uncertainty or wondering whether joy is possible in the middle of hardship, this episode offers a grounded and honest path forward.

Strength is easy to admire. But in the kingdom of God, strength is not where leadership begins.

In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan explores a different vision of Christian leadership—one rooted not in self-sufficiency, but in shared weakness, daily dependence, and confidence in a living Christ.

Drawing from the witness of the Trappist monks of Algeria, the wisdom of Andrew Murray and A. W. Tozer, and insights from recovery communities, Alan reflects on what it means to lead from honesty rather than performance. If Jesus is truly alive, then leadership is not about managing a legacy—it is about participating in his present life.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why shared weakness is essential for spiritual leadership
• The difference between serving a memory and walking with a living Christ
• What Andrew Murray called the “burning heart”
• Why spiritual receptivity may be the defining quality of enduring leaders
• A simple daily prayer that reshapes how you lead

If you’re feeling the quiet pressure to hold everything together, this episode will gently remind you that you were never meant to carry it alone.
