    • Why “work hard, play hard” leads to burnout
    • The biblical foundation for seasons and rhythms (Ecclesiastes 3)
    • Practical ways to schedule rest before work to increase effectiveness
    • How to prioritize what truly matters in your work and home life
    • The power of partnering with God and community for sustainable leadership

    May 22 2025

    Why do so many high-capacity leaders—pastors, entrepreneurs, parents, and visionaries—burn out after they've achieved success?

    In this powerful episode of The Deep Dive, Jose St. Phard sits down with pastor and leadership coach Benjamin Lundquist to expose the hidden cracks in even the most accomplished leaders. Together, they explore the difference between leading strong for a season and leading well for a lifetime.

    What if your greatest leadership threat isn’t failure, but success without sustainability?

    This conversation is raw, honest, and necessary.

    You’ll learn:

    • The silent saboteurs of long-term leadership
    • Why identity and self-leadership are more important than talent
    • How to recognize and address red flags before they take you out
    • How to build boundaries that protect what matters most—your marriage, family, health, and soul
    • The mindset shift that keeps your leadership sustainable and aligned with God's truth
    • How to break spiritual agreements that limit your growth

    If you're building something big—but feeling stretched thin—this is your call to realign, refocus, and lead from a place of wholeness.

    Episode 2: Leading Through Anxiety: Staying Grounded When Life Feels Uncertain

    Uncertainty is the context of leadership, not the exception. As leaders, we don’t get to avoid it. We’re called to lead through it. But what happens when the pressure gets to us? When anxiety builds, clarity fades, and fear clouds our ability to lead well?

    • Identify and label what you’re feeling
    • Reframe uncertainty as an opportunity for growth
    • Focus on what you can control—and release the rest to God
    • Build a support structure for long-term peace
    • Lead others with clarity, strength, and a God-given vision

    You’ll also hear biblical wisdom & practical tools for staying grounded when everything around you feels unstable.

    Whether you're leading a team, a family, a church, or simply trying to stay afloat in your own life—this episode will equip you to navigate stress with spiritual confidence and emotional intelligence.
