Rich Villodas on the Danger of Celebrity-ism, His Experience With Succession, and Engaging Your Interior World.

Episode 71 | Rich Villodas and Jason dive deep in this week’s episode to explore the interior world of leaders, the wrestle of celebrity, and to hear the story of Rich coming to faith and becoming a pastor. Jason asks Rich about a recent talk he gave at a Q Ideas conference where he outlined the difference between celebrity and celebrity-ism. He sees celebrity as a state often imposed by others or manifested out of simple notoriety; Jesus was a celebrity in many ways! Celebrity-ism, however, is a state of the soul and is rooted in entitlement. Rich warns us as Christian leaders to be wary of systems and cultures that can create celebrity-ism in us and the need for close accountability and accessibility to our people – no matter the size of church.  Give today to CCLN and help seed a hopeful future for the Church in Canada.
