In our efforts to come alongside and resource leaders across the world, Jesus Culture will be releasing monthly leadership podcasts. These unique sessions will be a dynamic time for leaders to interact with us and each other, network, and get plugged into various resources. There will be teachings from our staff as well as guest speakers who bring powerful messages specific to what you face as a leader. Our main goal in creating this resource is to provide an interactive way to connect with and encourage leaders across the globe.

In this episode, we interview Senior Pastor of Bethel Church, Bill Johnson who has some amazing insight on this topic.
