What does leadership look like in the future of the Church?
In this wide-ranging and deeply encouraging interview, I sit down with Jeremy Writebol, Campus Lead Pastor at Woodside Bible Church (Plymouth, MI) and Executive Director of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, to talk about what it really takes to mobilize a church full of leaders in a time when many are walking away from organized faith.
We explore how a model like The Nehemiah Way can help equip, empower, and release lay leaders in the local church—especially in a post-dechurching culture. If you’re a pastor, elder, ministry leader, or volunteer passionate about seeing your church thrive and grow through shared leadership, this conversation will give you practical ideas, real-world insight, and gospel-centered hope.
Topics Covered in This Interview:

  • What the “great de-churching” means for the future of ministry
  • Why most ministry work must be done by ordinary, everyday believers
  • Building a sustainable leadership pipeline within the local church
  • Empowering volunteers with real ownership and mission
  • The deacon model and decentralized leadership
  • How to identify “champions” and activate “serving circles”
  • The importance of letting go, delegating, and saying “yes”
  • Mobilizing the next generation (teens and 20-somethings)
  • Why Nehemiah’s story still speaks to today’s Church
  • Lessons from Jeremy’s new book Make It Your Ambition
