Parliament, Prisons, Politics, Purpose (Mike Hastings)

Season 2 · Episode 1

Friday, September 20, 2024 • Duration 27:55

Michael Hastings is a cross bench peer in the House of Lords (whatever that means..!), Professor of Leadership at the Stephen Covey Leadership Centre, Chair of the Board at SOAS, and was previously Head of Global Citizenship for KPMG. Sounds fancy hey? But by far and away the most impressive thing about Mike is his sheer kindness. For someone with so many ‘worldly’ titles, he’s unbelievably humble. We chat about how he visits people in prison, mentors hundreds of young men, and he shares some wisdom on how politics and faith can work together.

From Gangster to Humanitarian (Mkhululi Letsatsi)

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, August 2, 2024 • Duration 48:38

MK tells me all about his upbringing, his early struggles without a father present in his life, and other factors that led to joining a gang. We discuss issues of grinding poverty and trauma but also profound hope and transformation. It’s a deep dive into one of the most intense stories I’ve ever heard, and leaves us with all sort of big questions about the witness of the church in the world and how a more meaningful, authentic engagement with those on the margins could be the answer.

Success Is… Following God’s Calling over Good Ideas

Thursday, January 18, 2024 • Duration 15:16

This episode is a little different from other episodes of The (Un)successful Podcast. This episode is part of a series with three of my close friends where we explore what true success looks like.

In the first session of the series, we’ll talk about how following God’s calling might look to others like wasting your life. But if your calling isn’t about what you are going to do but rather who you are going to become, does that change how you think about it?

The Inner life of a Leader (Pete Greig)

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, July 18, 2024 • Duration 31:39

My guest this week is Pete Greig, the founder of 24-7 Prayer, a global prayer movement that has been praying non-stop since 1999. Pete has plenty of externally successful-looking things in his life that he could point to, but this conversation centres on the private life of a leader. We cover topics such as integrity, sacrifice, hypocrisy (and beauty) in the church, and how we can live towards a greater congruence between our private and our public lives. Ultimately, asking the question what does it mean to be motivated by God’s glory alone?

Pete’s guest this week is Langa Mbonambi, founder of We Will Worship, an award-winning South African worship group.

Success Is… Being a Faithful Presence in the Culture Wars

Thursday, January 18, 2024 • Duration 15:32

Success is… Transforming Over Transferring
