In this week's episode, hosts Vendela and Eliot are joined by our intern supervisor, Derrick, for a dynamic Q&A session. We turn the tables as Derrick asks us questions, and we get the chance to ask him some, too. Together, we dive into a wide range of topics, from church leadership to intersectional leadership, exploring what different generations expect from leaders and how the church leadership landscape is evolving. Tune in for a candid conversation about what Gen Z wants to see in leadership and how we're shaping the future of leadership today.

In this episode of What We Want: Gen Z's Thoughts on Leadership, we explore the powerful impact of intersectionality on leadership. How do the unique intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and other identities shape a leader’s ability to connect, inspire, and succeed? We examine how these diverse perspectives enhance leadership styles and influence success, particularly for Gen Z leaders who value inclusivity and representation. Join us as we discuss what it means to lead authentically and effectively in today’s world, and how embracing all aspects of identity can create stronger, more empathetic connections in communities of faith and beyond. Tune in for a conversation that redefines what it means to lead with both head and heart.
