Missionaries to America? That’s Not a Plot Twist, That’s the Plot with Jurie Kriel
Manage episode 509988288 series 3376246
Jurie Kriel joins us to share how a missionary call to America led to Austin, Texas, why “success is obedience,” and how rapid change demands anticipation, not anxiety. We explore AI-era identity, digital polarization, and the rhythms that keep leaders rooted at home and with God.
• his missionary call from South Africa to the US and Austin
• leadership as growing others and obeying God
• cultural insights on homelessness, comfort and consumerism
• the world’s accelerating change and anticipatory leadership
• identity crisis in the age of AI and spiritual grounding
• digital natives, curated feeds and fractured common ground
• curator leadership, shared language and platforming others
• priority over balance, family rhythms and strategic neglect
• challenging past success and releasing the familiar
