6 Lies Every Young Pastors Needs to Stop Believing

If you're a young pastor, church planter, ministry leader, or someone stepping into leadership for the first time, you've probably believed at least one of these lies.In this episode of Conversations, I unpack six lies that keep young leaders from stepping into what God has already called them to do. Using 1 Timothy 4, I talk about why leadership begins long before a title, why character matters more than age, and how influence is built through humility, faithfulness, and service.I also share practical leadership habits that have shaped my own ministry, including learning to ask better questions, listening more than speaking, honoring people's time, and refusing to build your identity on the approval of others.If you're waiting until you're older, more experienced, or more accepted before leading, this conversation is for you.In this episode:Why you're not too young to leadLeadership without a titleWhat 1 Timothy 4 teaches young leadersWhy character outweighs ageLeading before you have experienceWhy servant leadership creates influenceLearning to ask better questionsOvercoming insecurity in leadershipWhy you don't have to prove yourselfBuilding a lifetime of faithful leadership📝 NewsletterI send a free newsletter where I share honest thoughts on leadership, ministry, faith, and building something that actually lasts.Subscribe here:https://conversations-with-josh-andrew.beehiiv.com/🎙️ Editing & ProductionI use Descript to edit and produce this podcast.
