What does it truly mean to be a "leader on fire"? In this profound conversation with Steve Longbreak, we discover that authentic leadership often emerges not from displaying strength, but from embracing vulnerability through childlike faith.At 73, Steve brings decades of wisdom from his journey as a Christian school administrator, founder of Race to Win Ministries, and his work with Sylvius Insurance Group helping marketplace professionals integrate faith into their careers. Though officially retired, Steve remains actively involved on several boards, continuing to mentor leaders with the same passion that has defined his life's work.The heart of our conversation explores the crucible moments that transformed Steve's leadership. He vulnerably shares about losing his first wife to cancer when their children were just 12 and 14, leaving him to navigate single parenthood while maintaining his professional responsibilities. What's remarkable isn't just that he survived this devastating period, but how his unwavering faith became the foundation for a deeper, more empathetic approach to leadership."A childlike faith is a step toward wisdom," Steve explains, offering a counterintuitive perspective on leadership that challenges conventional thinking. Rather than viewing leadership as something we accomplish through our own strength, Steve suggests true leadership emerges when we acknowledge our dependency on God's wisdom and provision.This conversation offers a refreshing alternative to typical leadership advice. Instead of adding spiritual principles to our existing leadership framework, Steve encourages us to recognize ourselves as children of God, stewarding what He has entrusted to us for His purposes. For anyone navigating their own crucible moments or seeking to lead with greater authenticity, Steve's journey provides both comfort and challenge.How might your leadership transform if approached with childlike faith rather than self-determination?
