Impact Nations Podcast
Welcome to the Impact Nations Podcast, where we explore what it means to live out the Gospel—not just in theory, but in everyday life.
Hosted by Tim Stewart, often joined by Impact Nations co-founder Steve Stewart, this podcast brings together theology, real-world stories, and practical ministry to help you see how the Kingdom of God transforms lives—both spiritually and physically.
We believe the Gospel is more than words.
It’s good news for the poor, freedom for the oppressed, healing for the broken, and purpose for every person.
On this channel, you’ll find:
- Biblical teaching that is thoughtful, accessible, and deeply rooted in Scripture
- Podcast series (like Echoes of Eden) that explore the big themes of the Bible
- Real stories of transformation from around the world
- Conversations with leaders and partners on the frontlines of global ministry
- Insights into Journeys of Compassion—our short-term missions experiences that change lives
- Honest discussions about faith, leadership, justice, and the tension between the supernatural and the practical
For over 20 years, Impact Nations has partnered with local leaders in nations like Uganda, India, Malawi, Nepal, Pakistan, and beyond—bringing rescue, restoration, and long-term transformation.
This podcast is an invitation to:
- Think more deeply about your faith
- See the Gospel more clearly
- And discover your role in God’s work in the world

Jo Saxton: How to Lead Without Losing Yourself | Summer Series 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Leadership can begin with a sincere desire to serve—and quietly turn into the belief that everything depends on you.
In this episode of the Impact Nations Podcast, Tim Stewart welcomes author, speaker, leadership coach, and Ezer Collective founder Jo Saxton for an honest conversation about calling, character, burnout, identity, and the hidden costs of leading others.
Jo challenges the idea that leadership is simply a position or job title. Healthy leadership is shaped by how we use our influence, how honestly we face our wounds and limitations, and whether the people around us are becoming healthier—or simply learning to imitate our dysfunction.
Together, Tim and Jo explore imposter syndrome, the pressure to be the solution, the importance of rest and trusted relationships, and what happens when leaders ignore their humanity for too long. Jo also shares candidly about her own season of exhaustion and disillusionment, why she needed to step away, and what helped her rediscover her calling.
The conversation also turns toward how churches identify and develop leaders, why charisma must never be valued above character, and whether our practices truly reflect what we claim to believe about women and leadership.
In this episode:
• Why leadership is more than a title, platform, or position
• How imposter syndrome can prevent people from developing their gifts
• Why leaders become dangerous when they believe they are the solution
• How our habits quietly shape the culture around us
• The importance of trusted friends who can tell us the truth
• What burnout, betrayal, and disappointment can cost a leader
• Why charisma should never matter more than character
• How churches unintentionally create unhealthy leadership cultures
• What meaningful investment in women leaders actually requires

Please share this episode with a leader, pastor, colleague, or friend who may need permission to rest, tell the truth about how they are doing, or reconsider the kind of leadership culture they are creating.
