Young people need leaders who are willing to serve, stay close, walk in truth, and refuse to give up on them. In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Jason Watson speaks with Asiri Fernando, a Youth for Christ leader in Sri Lanka who has spent nearly 20 years reaching and discipling young people. Drawing from decades of ministry, Asiri reflects on the kind of leaders young people need: leaders who embrace servanthood, remain rooted in Scripture, take repentance seriously, persevere when fruit is slow, and stay close to people for the long haul. Main Points Discipleship begins with presence. Asiri describes discipleship as “unhurried lingering with people”—staying close enough for faith to be formed through relationship, example, and time. Servant leaders go down rather than climb up. Following the pattern of Jesus, leaders are called to resist the desire to make a name for themselves and instead draw close to the people they are called to serve. Young people are hungry for truth and authentic community. Asiri sees a generation growing up amid fake and artificial content that is deeply hungry for Scripture, honesty, and communities where people are willing to walk in the light. Discipleship that lasts requires Scripture, repentance, and responsibility. Asiri highlights studying the Word in community, taking repentance seriously, practising accountability, and trusting young people with meaningful opportunities to serve. Faithful leaders do not give up when people fail or fruit is slow. Asiri calls leaders to respond with meekness, humility, and steadfast commitment—even through disappointment, failure, and seasons when little visible fruit appears. Guest Bio Asiri Fernando serves with Youth for Christ Sri Lanka, leading its work in the mountain regions and providing pastoral care to staff and volunteers engaged in grassroots evangelism. He is a Bible teacher and international expositor with a deep passion for discipling young people and serving the urban poor. Asiri holds an MDiv from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and is the author of Unstoppable: Total Devotion to the Gospel.

In this powerful episode of the WiLD Conversation Podcast, Dr. Rob McKenna sits down with Tim Neville, President and CEO of Echoing Hills, to explore what happens when an organization moves away from quick-fix leadership development and embeds human-centered growth into its core operational strategy. Starting as a camp counselor before rising to lead a statewide ministry serving over 700 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Tim shares how Echoing Hills integrated the WiLD Way to build high-trust systems from the executive level all the way to frontline caregivers. Discover how measuring trust through data, aligning top-down strategy with whole-person growth, and establishing a multi-year development system transformed their organizational culture, doubled team engagement, and created a sustainable framework that outlives any single leader. Listen in to learn how your executive team can go beyond offsite workshops, measure what lies beneath the surface, and embed the WiLD Way directly into your organization’s DNA. Key Takeaways: Succession as Trust Transfer: Why traditional succession efforts fail when they treat leadership transitions as simple role swaps rather than systemic handoffs of organizational trust. Data-Driven Culture: How measuring trust dynamically with the WiLD Trust Index provided concrete KPIs to track leadership health and organizational retention. Top-Down Cascading Impact: The power of starting whole-leader development with executive leadership before scaling it to over 100 regional and frontline leaders. The WiLD Integration: How Echoing Hills customized WiLD to craft "The Echoing Way," weaving developmental tools directly into daily operations from Day 1 onboarding.

Before we get into anything else today, can I just ask you a question? Are you experiencing genuine restoration and refreshment in your life right now? Not entertainment. Not distraction. Real restoration. Because most people I know would say no, and that's exactly where this week's rhythm comes in. We're talking about Sabbath today, and I know that word can land differently depending on where you're coming from. Maybe it brings up guilt about Sunday sports schedules. Maybe it feels like an Old Testament rule that doesn't apply anymore. Maybe you're in ministry, and Sunday is your biggest work day of the week. Wherever you're starting from, I want us to take a breath and start from scratch, because Jesus Himself tells us something really clarifying about what Sabbath is actually for. We're in Mark chapter 2, where the disciples are grabbing a snack as they walk through a grain field on the Sabbath, and the Pharisees immediately call them out. Jesus responds by pointing back to King David, who ate sacred bread from the altar when he was hungry, and then delivers one of the most liberating lines in all of Scripture: "The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of the people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath." That's the whole principle, right there. The Sabbath was made for you. We also go back to the original command in Exodus 20, and what I love about it is how tender it is. It's not just rest for the head of the household, it's rest for your children, your servants, your animals, and the foreigners living among you. There is so much care and justice built into this rhythm from the very beginning. And then we talk about what Sabbath could actually look like in your real life, not a list of rules, but a genuine question: what does holy refreshment look like for you? For some people it's creativity, painting, gardening, making something. For others it's actual rest, napping, being still. For others it's uninterrupted time with people they love, or being in nature. There's no one-size-fits-all answer here. But the invitation is the same for all of us: stop. Trust that God is at the helm. And see what happens when you actually let yourself rest.

What does holy refreshment actually look like for you? Is there a place in your week where you could carve out even a half day of intentional rest? Where do you notice yourself striving or feeling anxious when you try to stop?

Hebrews 12:15 warns us not to let a root of bitterness take hold in our hearts. In this episode, we explore the story of Ahithophel and how unresolved hurt can impact our hearts and relationships. Even when we have a legitimate reason to be hurt, we must guard our hearts and surrender our pain to God before it becomes bitterness.Support the show
