Townsend Institute Podcast Series - 080 | Pastor Jim Henkell: Silencing the Whispered Lies in Leadership
Description
What Whispered Lies Are Keeping You from Leading with Confidence?
On this episode of TIPS, hosts Ashlie and Gilbert welcome Pastor Jim Henkell—ministry executive for the Pacific Southwest District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and Concordia University Irvine alum—to expose the hidden beliefs sabotaging pastoral and faith-based leaders.
Drawing from over 25 years of ministry experience, Jim reveals how leaders can break free from the myths that isolate them and diminish their impact.
You'll discover:
- The whispered lies leaders often believe
- Why finding a thought partner is essential for staying healthy and grounded
- The power of being a participant, not the person in charge, and how stepping back strengthens your leadership
- "True patience is less about passive waiting and more about actively watching for where God is already at work."
- How shifting from performance metrics to God's assurance transforms both your leadership and your peace
Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, faith-based executive, or anyone seeking to lead with authenticity and confidence, this conversation offers a blueprint for increasing both influence and character.
Perfect for: Pastoral leaders, ministry executives, faith-based coaches, church planters, anyone navigating leadership loneliness or imposter syndrome.
