The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast

In Part 2 of this summer's Required Listening, Carey interviews Eugene Peterson weeks before he retired from public life.
Carey talks to Eugene about the origin of the Message and the life rhythms he and his wife Jan adopted that helped produce the legacy millions have appreciated. Plus, they discuss what it was like to lead through the turbulence of the 1960s.

AI AND THE FUTURE CHURCH
I'm releasing a new book this September called AI and the Future Church, a pastoral playbook for leading your church through the biggest disruption of our lifetime. Pre-order it now at aifuture.church, on Amazon, or wherever you buy books.
GLOBAL CHRISTIAN RELIEF
Global Christian Relief supports persecuted brothers and sisters in places where following Jesus carries a real cost — Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Iran, and more — bringing Scripture, emergency relief, and long-term church investment. When you give to GCR, you're not supporting a cause, you're standing with family. Visit gcrelief.org.

In this inaugural episode of Required Listening, Carey talks to Gordon MacDonald. For his 80th birthday, Gordon MacDonald wrote down the 15 leadership and life lessons he's learned so far.
He unpacks all of them here: how to stop cheating the people closest to you, how to survive doubt and obscurity, why you reinvent your interior life every decade, and how to ask the questions that open a heart.

In this conversation, John opens up about pain in leadership, what it's like to be an introvert in ministry, and how to handle the work you'd rather avoid.

Matt Chandler doesn't pull punches. The lead pastor of The Village Church joins Carey to talk about why wearing a cape doesn't help anyone, the death of secularism, and why the church is all wood and no fire.
Matt also opens up about the moment he almost quit, what Spurgeon taught him about suffering, and why he stopped neglecting the Holy Spirit.
