Leading Simple is all about simplifying faith and inspiring leaders. But what does leadership look like when you’re leading through a crisis? I know I’ve had to ask myself this question. It’s a question many of us have had to ask in the past year, including my guest, Joel Thomas.
We sat down and chatted about what it was like to be a part of Andy Stanley’s team during his time at Northpoint. Joel also shares his insights on leading a church through crisis, obedience when things are unclear, and why he ultimately returned to Northpoint.

Joel Thomas is absolutely my favorite teacher-pastor and I am grateful to God that he was willing to take over the Buckhead Church in Atlanta…..every message is real, heavy content, clear and knowing a direct path to teach as we follow our Lord and Savior. It is very simply for me….We needed Joel and he said yes to God’s calling. There is simply no one like him! At least as good as Andy Stanley and Chuck Swindoll!!! I pray God will bless him and his ministry and sweet family all the days of his life!
