Why Are Norway's Missionary Schools Overflowing With Students? | Andreas Nordli | EP 007

Andreas Nordli didn't set out to be a "leader." He started as a radical teenager wanting to change the world, but found himself navigating the crushing weight of responsibility, the loneliness of the top floor, and the reality of organizational failure. In this raw and unfiltered conversation, the head of YWAM Norway breaks down why we are terrified of risk, how he handles the "burden" of leading hundreds of missionaries, and the moment he realized his own ambition was getting in the way of God’s plan. This isn't just a talk about missions; it's a deep dive into the psychology of leadership and what happens when you finally say "yes" to a call that scares you.In This Episode:▫️The Evolution of a Leader: Andreas reflects on his journey from a young, "arrogant" pioneer to a seasoned leader who understands that true influence comes through service and "fathering" rather than just making noise.▫️The Necessity of Failure: He discusses the vital role of failure in leadership, explaining that if you aren't failing occasionally, you aren't taking enough risks to see true transformation.▫️Combating the "Safety Culture": Andreas warns against the modern obsession with safety and security, arguing that a life without risk is a life that misses the very adventures God designed us for.▫️The Weight of the "Yes": He breaks down the reality that total obedience to God often leads to places of great pressure and complexity, but it is the only place where you find genuine fulfillment.📚 Sign up for a 60-day Free Trial with LOGOS🌐 Sign Up for The Send Conference 2026⛪️ Pastors & Church Leaders - Sign Up for The Activated Church🔥Follow Andreas Nordli on Instagram📲 Follow The Send on Instagram🔗 Stay updated
