The Leadership Podcast Sim Dendy

In this episode we're joined by Jo Frost, the Director of Communications at the Evangelical Alliance. With a rich background in working with various Christian charities and a master's in public communications, Jo shares her journey into the heart of leadership and discusses the challenges and triumphs of advocating for faith in the modern world.
Jo delves into the complexities of leadership, communication, and the importance of being authentically connected with both the message and the audience. She sheds light on her personal approach to navigating the digital landscape, where every word can be scrutinized, and the balance between being open and maintaining necessary privacy. Through her experiences, we explore the critical role of integrity over mere authenticity and the nuanced decisions that leaders must make in today's fast-paced, information-rich society.
The episode also touches on Jo's leadership style, emphasizing thoughtfulness, the willingness to embrace both strengths and shortcomings, and the importance of providing space for emerging voices in the community. Jo's reflections on mentoring, the impact of leadership on personal and professional relationships, and her commitment to fostering unity and understanding across diverse groups offer valuable insights for anyone in a leadership role, whether within the church or in broader societal contexts.

This week we’re chatting with John Kirkby - or Johnny Boy as he prefers to be known. Together with his wife Lizzie, they founded Christians Against Poverty (CAP) in 1996. Over 25 years, God used this incredible organisation to lead 20,000 people a year out of debt and release them from poverty.
In Spring 2023, John felt called to start a new ministry - Isaiah 61 Movement - to empower and resource Christians in sharing their faith.
John’s grounded character and passion for the Word of God will leap out as you listen to our conversation with him. With plenty of interesting stories and a wealth of leadership wisdom to share, this episode is a must.
