Rethink Revive with David Leake
Taking a second look at spiritual and social issues.
In a world full of noise, confusion, and shifting ideologies, it’s time to rethink what we’ve been told and revive what really matters.
Rethink Revive is a podcast where we carry on Pastor Jeff Leake’s legacy by having honest conversations about faith, leadership, grief, and navigating change in a rapidly shifting world.
If you’ve ever felt burned out in ministry, stuck in your spiritual growth, or unsure how to lead through pain and loss, this is a space to rethink what following Jesus looks like today and revive fresh hope for the future.
