AI is reshaping work. Debt keeps rising. Young people struggle to imagine a stable future. Public systems strain under growing pressure while politics becomes ever more reactive and tribal. Beneath the noise lies a deeper question about culture, human nature and the kind of society we are becoming.
Getting the wrong people on your team (or leading it!) can be one of the most expensive and stressful issues you’ll ever face. I was thrilled to hear wisdom from my friend William Vanderbloemen on how we really can do so much better at this. He is an entrepreneur, pastor, speaker, author, and CEO and founder of Vanderbloemen Search Group, which has helped thousands of churches, ministries, and faith-based organisations create a great culture and find people who will consistently make it better to achieve their God given goals. We looked at many issues on the Future Church podcast here including:

As a leader my greatest joys have come from such decisions when we got them right, but 99% of my regrets come from when I got them wrong.
I think you’ll love listening to this wide ranging and prescient interviews as we discussed subjects including but not limited to Quiet Quitting in Church, Yoga, CS Lewis and what makes great literature!
