In this deeply personal and practical episode, Pastor Brian Houston reflects on the inevitable pressures that come with leadership—and life itself.  Drawing on Scripture, lived experience, and candid stories from his own journey, Pastor Brian unpacks what it means to be a stressed leader—and how to avoid becoming a distressed one. From embracing pressure to understanding your limits, identifying stress signals, and building in rest, rhythms, and laughter, Pastor Brian offers ten powerful principles to help leaders not only survive, but lead well through tension and challenge. Whether you're a high-capacity leader feeling the RPMs rise or simply navigating the day-to-day pressures of life, this episode will encourage, ground, and guide you toward healthy, Spirit-led leadership.
