Darrell Johnson on The Practices That Sustain a Lifetime of Leadership

<p>On this episode of the Good Leader Podcast, Will Van Der Hart welcomes Darrell Johnson, a pastor, preacher, theological educator and author with more than five decades of experience in Christian ministry.Recorded at Leadership Conference 2026 in London, Daryl reflects on what it takes to lead sustainably over the long haul — and why the habits that sustain a leader are often much simpler than we might expect.Darrell shares how daily time in Scripture and prayer, practising gratitude, walking, Sabbath, being present with family and continuing to learn have shaped his life and ministry. He also speaks openly about seasons of depression, burnout and health challenges, and what those experiences taught him about living within our God-given gifts and limitations.</p>
