How the church can lead in a lonely, distrusting world


Hi [FIRST NAME GOES HERE],

What if the country's biggest crisis isn’t political—but spiritual and moral?

In this week’s episode, I sit down for the first time ever with David Brooks, longtime New York Times columnist, leading cultural analyst, author, and friend of the late Tim Keller. We cover a lot of ground—from David’s own journey to faith, to the erosion of empathy in our culture, to what leaders can do to rebuild trust and deepen connection in a polarized world.

We talk about what it was like to be pastored by Keller (it was beautiful), why the future depends on leaders who are have moral integrity—not just successful—and how you can become one of them.

David also shares his surprising writing process (hint: it involves piles of notes stacked all over the floor), his thoughts on motivation, and the ruling passions that drive our lives.

This is one of the most insightful conversations I’ve had in a long time.

And don’t forget to join the discussion inside the Art of Leadership Community (it’s free).
