In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im are joined by Drew Hill, pastor and author of Alongside: Loving Teenagers With the Gospel. During their conversation, they discuss the difficulties in lead pastoring and being open with your failures. BEST QUOTES “I've really been encouraged by Peter's failures."

"My relationship with the Lord has been much more influenced by Scripture than by other books."

"Everything that I know and believe are built on the things that have gone before."

"We have to allow the Lord to strip us of our productivity so we realize that He doesn't need us, but He wants us, and we need Him desperately."

"Sharing the pulpit has been a gift in our church."

"I don't want to give people a place of a tour I haven't been."

"Being a lead pastor has been way harder than I ever thought."

"The biggest tension I struggle with everyday is am I a CEO or am I a pastor?"

"We are not going to be as polished as I want us to be right now, and that's OK."

"Do I really believe that God loves me if I don't produce?"

"It was the first time I realized how my addiction to ministry was crushing my wife and my family."

"Faithfulness outweighs giftedness."

"Focus more on your hidden life in Christ and developing these disciplines that are going to make you a godly man and not a great speaker." RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network
