What does leadership look like when no one’s watching?

In this episode, we sit down with Alan Hooton — educator, elder, and faithful presence at Citizens Church — to explore leadership shaped not by titles or accolades, but by consistency and character. After 19 years in the same classroom, Alan invites us to see leadership as something slow, relational, and deeply rooted in presence.

We talk about leading in the home and in the church, not through platform, but through service — cultivating space for others to grow and gifts to flourish. Alan reflects on marriage, family, and ministry, reminding us that leadership is less about being in charge and more about being faithful.

As the conversation unfolds, we consider how walking with others through pain and healing mirrors the life of Christ. This episode is a reminder that faithful leadership often looks like simply showing up — again and again — with humility, hope, and open hands.
