In this episode of the Unseen Leadership podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Josh Hunter are joined by Josh Patterson, the Lead Pastor over Ministry Leadership at The Village Church and co-author of the book Creature of the Word.  During their conversation, they discuss Josh’s leadership journey that lead him to the Village Church, and how to learn through failure, how to slow down and reflect on your leadership journey, and how to lead as the #2 guy as a strategic leader. QUOTES FROM EPISODE 8: “Starting in 2003, there was pretty tremendous growth. We grew at about 1,000 people a year for over a decade.” “Leaders grow through challenges. We were all in over our heads.” “As the organization grows, it forces the leaders to grow. And as leaders grow, it forces change into the organization.” “Leaders navigate and negotiate change.” “We must own our failures and walk humbly through them.” “Failure is hard, but if you are going to enter into the arena of leadership, you can expect to fall.” “The leaders I don’t trust the most are the ones who cannot own and admit their leadership failures.” “Preaching is not the only gift a church needs. It also needs strategic leaders and thinkers.” “Anybody can come up with a great vision. It’s a whole different thing to strategically lead toward that vision.” “There are some who lead because they preach, and there are some who preach because they lead.” RESOURCES MENTIONED What Leaders Really Do by John Kotter Overcoming the Dark Side of Leadership by Gary L. McIntosh and Samuel D. Rima Daring Greatly by Brene Brown Creature of the Word by Eric Geiger, Matt Chandler, and Josh Patterson
