In this episode Nicky interviews Craig Groeschel.
While people tend to admire strength, we connect deeply with vulnerability. In this conversation, Craig shares honestly about the health struggles of his daughter and his own burnout and recovery, which involved counseling and significant changes in life habits.

Their conversation also explores relevant matters like the tension between efficiency and resiliency, when is good enough “good enough”, and the danger of finding our self-worth through social media. More than that, with a huge amount of our lives being spent on digital platforms, Craig discusses how to navigate our feelings of significance and value while immersed in the meritocracy of social media.
Craig is a leader of leaders and his back and forth with Nicky gives the listener an inspiring window into his world. Resolving to leverage his influence, and the reach of his church, to serve and bless the next generation, Craig unpacks his passion for resourcing and raising up the next wave of leaders and pastors.
