Leadership comes with incredible highs, but also real lows that few people talk about.

In this episode of Leadership & Other Stuff, Pastor Brian Houston unpacks the discouragement, pressure, loneliness, and unmet expectations that often come with leading over time. Drawing from Psalm 142 and personal experience, he speaks to the moments when leaders feel overwhelmed, overlooked, and even like no one truly cares for their soul.

Pastor Brian also highlights the danger of leadership at its lowest point and how those moments can shape or derail a leader's future.

But there's a turning point.

Through David's story, he shares three anchors for every leader: praise, people, and perspective, keys to staying grounded and moving forward even in the toughest seasons.

If you've ever felt like quitting or questioned your calling, this episode will remind you how to keep going.
