In this episode, Dave Vance shares how a leader at the top of his game can still be drowning on the inside. Dave spent decades in pastoral ministry, leading a church of thousands, writing books, speaking at conferences, and launching campuses. From the outside, everything looked like momentum and success. Inside, insecurity was driving the pace. Unaddressed patterns of proving, hiding, and control eventually spilled over into his marriage, his relationships, and the church he loved. Learning to see those patterns, name his fears, and “flip the lie” became a lifeline. Today, Dave is leading in a new space, developing leaders in the marketplace, and doing it from a secure identity, not from image management or validation.
