Adam Steen: Restored by Faith, Called to Lead
In this episode of the Courageous Crossroads Podcast, host Jeff Johnson sits down with Adam Steen—former college athlete, investment banker, pastor, state government executive, and now gubernatorial candidate—for a powerful conversation about faith, leadership, and what it means to live with courage. Steen shares deeply personal moments from his life, including his surrender to Christ at age 30, the challenges of parenting a child with a rare genetic disorder, and his
decision to leave a high-ranking state government role to run for governor of Iowa. He defines courage as the willingness to do what you're called to do, even when it's hard, and encourages listeners to act boldly in truth and faith. Adam Steen, a former pitcher drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies and, most recently the director of Iowa's Department of Administrative Services, is now running for Governor of Iowa. A devoted husband and father of two, Steen is passionate about service, spiritual leadership, and stewarding resources with integrity.
