Lessons for each Decade of Your Leadership Journey with John Nuzzo, Pastor of Victory Family Church

John Nuzzo is a senior pastor at Victory Family Church in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, which he founded with his wife, Michelle, 26 years ago. Victory Family Church aims to help people know God, find freedom, discover their purpose, and ultimately make a difference. John is a dedicated leader with a deep desire to multiply his impact while equipping and empowering the next generation to lead.  

Today, John joins me to share some of his insights from his decades of leadership experience, highlighting some of the defining lessons to be gained from each decade. He emphasizes the importance of knowing your mission and purpose, prioritizing impact over achievement, and not letting the specifics of goals outweigh the depth of your calling. John also shares the importance of gratitude, the harmful nature of pride, and why it is essential to stay focused and never quit.
