S3E2: Interview with Peter Coutts re Self-Leadership and Ministry in Canada

Rev. Dr. Peter Coutts brings decades of ministry, academic insight, and coaching experience to a deep and practical conversation about leadership in the church today. The episode explores the concept of “self-leadership”—the intentional practice of self-awareness, reflection, and personal growth—as a vital skill for clergy navigating the complexities of ministry. Drawing from personal stories and professional coaching practices, Peter examines how pastors can grow their leadership capacity in both character and skill. The conversation also addresses broader systemic challenges such as the legacy of Christendom, strategic stagnation, and what it means to steward the church for future generations. This is a thoughtful, hopeful, and grounded look at what leadership could look like in times of transition and uncertainty.
