In this episode of the Be The Church Podcast, Pastor Luke Bilberry sits down with Pastor Michael Rubino and Mike Joslyn for a powerful conversation about the heart of spiritual leadership: selflessness, obedience, and dying to self so others can live. Together, they unpack what it really means to lead like Jesus in a world obsessed with achievement, platform, and outcomes.
From redefining success as simple obedience to recognizing that spiritual influence is birthed out of discipleship—not charisma or personality—this conversation brings leadership back to its biblical foundation.
