What if leadership didn’t have to be lonely?
In this final episode of the Worship Catalyst Podcast series Building the Team of Your Dreams, Austin Ryan and Ben Barfield unpack what it looks like to lead together without losing unity. Drawing from nearly 20 years of co-leading churches and organizations, they reveal the 5 biggest benefits of co-leadership—and practical ways to make it work.
If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like “Who really makes the final decision?” or “Can shared leadership actually work?”—this conversation is for you.
You’ll discover how co-leadership:
✅ Creates accountability and prevents burnout
✅ Builds humility and trust among leaders
✅ Makes teams stronger and more resilient
✅ Frees each person to lead in their strengths
✅ Demonstrates healthy leadership to your organization
Whether you lead in ministry, business, or education, this episode shows how applying the 3 Covenants to co-leadership can transform not just your relationships—but your results.
