Leaving Without Losing Continuity (featuring Chuck Proudfit)
<p>What if the biggest lie Christian leaders believe is that ministry only happens inside church walls?</p>
<p>When pastors and nonprofit leaders transition into the marketplace, many feel like they’ve stepped out of calling and into something lesser. But that assumption may be the very thing limiting the Church’s influence.</p>
<p>In this episode, we talk with Chuck Proudfit about faith at work, succession challenges, leadership continuity, and why Christians must rethink the sacred-secular divide. </p>
<p>This conversation reframes work as worship and challenges leaders to build legacy that outlives them.</p>
