What does it look like to lead without being quietly driven by anxiety?

In this reflective solo episode, Alan Fadling—author of A Non-Anxious Life—explores what it means to lead from peace rather than from pressure in a world marked by tension, fatigue, and uncertainty. Drawing from Scripture, spiritual formation, and years of working with Christian leaders, Alan invites listeners to consider a deeper, more durable peace—one rooted not in circumstances, but in communion with Christ.

Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, Alan offers a wiser path: learning to relocate it, so it no longer leads. Along the way, he reflects on why peace is not just a personal virtue, but a public gift leaders offer the people they serve.

Released on the two-year anniversary of A Non-Anxious Life, this episode is an invitation to return to a way of leading marked by trust, presence, and hope—even in troubling times.

Why do good questions matter more than ever—and how can learning to ask them change the way we live, lead, and relate?

In this episode, Alan talks with J.R. Briggs, founder of Kairos Partnerships and author of The Art of Asking Better Questions (IVP, 2025). J.R. invites us into a life shaped less by quick answers and more by curiosity, wisdom, and deeper connection. He shows how great questions can transform conversations, strengthen relationships, and open us more fully to the work of God.

Together, Alan and J.R. explore how asking better questions can slow us down, deepen our leadership, strengthen our communities, and nurture a more attentive life with God.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why we’ve grown uncomfortable with questions—and what we lose when we stop asking them
• How children model the curiosity adults often forget
• Why Jesus asked more than 300 questions—and what that reveals about spiritual formation
• How leaders can move from expertise to openness
• Practical ways to grow into a person who listens well and leads wisely
