In this episode Jason interviews Matt Tapley. Their conversation is a tour-de-force in leadership wisdom and insight. For any young leader who is struggling with not having the deciding vote on the leadership team, or primary access to the pulpit, or the responsibility of communicating and driving the vision forward, this episode is a must listen.
“The best idea doesn’t qualify you to be the leader!” “If you can’t buy in, get out!” “A leadership structure is only as good as the leader in the structure!” represent a small sample of the challenging and thought-provoking pearls that Matt drops throughout this episode.
Interspersed with humour, thoughtful reflection on past revivals in Canada, and fresh Biblical insight into the life and leadership of David for today, Jason and Matt’s dialogue will both convict and equip any Christian leader who longs to see young leaders thrive in the church.

Show Notes
“I think someone should feel more called to who they’re serving, than what they’re doing or where they are.”
