In today’s episode of the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, our Founder and CEO, William Vanderbloemen, sits down with Dave Dummitt, Senior Pastor at Willow Creek Community Church, for an insightful conversation about leading through one of the most challenging times in recent history.

Dave, who began his time at Willow Creek in 2020, shares his experience of stepping into leadership during the onset of COVID-19 and amidst numerous difficult and polarizing events. In this candid conversation, Dave reflects on:

  • How he navigated trusting and connecting with his staff and congregation as a new leader.
  • The challenges of downsizing compassionately during uncertain times.
  • The balance between making early changes in leadership while building trust and focusing on forming meaningful relationships.

This conversation offers valuable lessons for any leader stepping into a new role during turbulent times and provides encouragement to those leading with faith and hope.
