016 - Jeff Baker: Leadership That Outlasts You
Description
What does it look like to grow as a leader when you didn’t set out to be one? In this episode of How He’s Building This, Pastor Jeff Baker of New Life Church (Kearney • North Platte • Ogallala • Holdrege, Nebraska) shares his journey from a life of brokenness into a life of leadership—one shaped by humility, failure, and an ongoing desire to learn. Jeff reflects on the painful moment of being fired early in ministry and how it became a turning point in understanding what leadership really requires. He opens up about learning to ask questions, embracing the “second seat,” and how confidence balanced with humility became a key leadership principle.
Jeff also shares insights on leadership transitions, accountability, and building a leadership culture that multiplies. From launching a “leadership pipeline” to making the tough calls needed to break through growth ceilings, Jeff shares what it means to lead with vision and faith while taking steps toward leaving a legacy that outlasts your own leadership.
