You don’t have to carry the weight of leadership alone—there’s a better way forward. On today’s episode of the AVAIL Podcast, we’re sitting down with Pastor John Cameron, founder of Empower Leader, a coaching ministry designed specifically to serve lead pastors. John shares powerful insights from decades of ministry—from launching a multi-site church in New Zealand to now coaching leaders across the globe. He unpacks how vision clarity, resource alignment, and leadership development are essential for sustainable growth. If you're a lead pastor feeling stretched, stuck, or simply seeking wisdom for the next phase, this conversation will speak directly to your season.
