Leadership Intimacy: Cultivating Depth in Your Life with Dr. Robert Crosby

In this episode, Dr. Robert Crosby continues the conversation in a leadership series we have been releasing every couple of months. Today's discussion is on Leadership Intimacy—Cultivating Depth in Your Life. The call to lead is not just with vision but with vulnerability, depth, and spiritual rootedness.

Dr. Crosby unpacks how true leadership begins in the secret place—with intimacy with God—and how that connection overflows into our relationships, teams, and daily decisions. Together, we explore the intersection of faith, emotional depth, and relational integrity, challenging the common narrative of leadership built on image and performance.

If you long to lead from a deeper well—one filled with purpose, presence, and the power of the Holy Spirit—this conversation is for you.

Lean in as we talk about cultivating a life of depth, leading with authenticity, and anchoring your influence in the love of Christ.

“The Two-Sided Coin of Pride”

In this episode, we sit down with Jacob Galligan, MEd, LPC, as he shares his journey into the world of counseling and the personal struggles that have shaped his faith. Jacob opens up about the challenges he has faced within the church, navigating seasons of doubt, and how his experiences have tested and strengthened his relationship with God.

We also dive deep into the two-sided coin of pride and self-deprecation—how both extremes can trap us, distort our identity, and pull us away from true humility and reliance on Christ. Jacob brings his wisdom as a counselor to unpack how these struggles manifest in our lives and how we can find balance through faith, accountability, and a right understanding of ourselves before God.

It’s an honest, thought-provoking conversation about faith, identity, and the ongoing work of surrendering to God’s grace. Tune in for encouragement, insight, and a fresh perspective on wrestling with these tensions in life and counseling.
