Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast

Andy Stanley founded North Point Ministries, one of the largest church organizations in the country, and his leadership podcast distills the organizational principles he's used to build and sustain that operation. With 235 episodes and a 4.6-star rating from over 2,200 reviews, the show has earned recognition from Forbes as one of its recommended leadership podcasts. Episodes range from focused 12-minute segments to longer 50-minute conversations, and they release weekly. The format mixes solo teaching with interview episodes featuring guests like Charles Duhigg and other leadership thinkers. Andy's style is clear and structured. He presents ideas in a way that feels like a well-prepared talk rather than an off-the-cuff conversation, which means you walk away with frameworks you can remember and apply. Recent topics have included psychological safety in teams, how leaders deal with anxiety and reactivity, the relationship between vision and organizational focus, and practical approaches to delegation. Andy has a particular strength in talking about how leaders can maintain their values while still being effective in complex organizational environments. He doesn't pretend those two things are always easy to balance. The show's tagline is about helping leaders "go further, faster," and it delivers on that promise through consistent, well-organized episodes that respect your time. If you're looking for leadership content that's thoughtful and principled without being preachy, Andy strikes that balance well. His decades of leading a large organization give him credibility that purely academic leadership voices often lack.
