The Healthy Christian Leader
Cultivating Spiritual Resilience Through Discipline and Direction | Larry Levy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Healthy Christian Leader, host Harry Gardner continues his conversation with Larry Levy, lead pastor of the Halifax Metro Vineyard, focusing on resilience in leadership and the life of the church.
Larry shares honestly about seasons of challenge, including a time when he “hit a wall” and needed extended rest and support. Together, they explore how resilience is formed through Sabbath rhythms, self-awareness, mental health care, vulnerability, and allowing others to lead and serve alongside us.
The conversation widens to the global church, as Larry reflects on lessons learned from long-term partnerships with churches in Rwanda, Burundi, and beyond. These stories of faith, suffering, and perseverance offer a powerful reminder that God’s strength is often revealed through weakness.
Rooted in Scripture and lived experience, this episode invites leaders to rethink resilience—not as self-reliance, but as a shared, Spirit-shaped journey marked by honesty, humility, and grace.
