Jon Reddick
What if the hardest season of your life was actually preparing you to lead at a level you didn’t know was in you? In this vulnerable conversation, Jon Reddick opens up about the “fear chatter” that had been stealing his mental space, why he started removing people from his inner circle, and how walking through crisis taught him what authentic care actually looks like.
You’ll hear his simple but game-changing filter for every worship moment, and why leading through your own brokenness might be the key to reaching others in theirs.
If you’ve ever wondered how to lead with genuine depth instead of surface-level enthusiasm, this conversation will shift how you think about leadership, vulnerability, and what it means to truly serve the room you’re called to lead.
