The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast

John Eldredge asks whether 30 is too young to be a lead pastor (and what to do if you're in your 20s or 30s and leading a large church).

He also talks about finding spiritual authority and the stages every man goes through in life, from warrior to king to sage.
