In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im are joined by Josh Patterson, Lead Pastor at The Village Church in Texas. During their conversation, they discuss the following questions:

* How do you lead high capacity leaders on your team?
* What do you look for when recruiting staff?
* How do you know what level of leadership you are best gifted for?
* You made a decision to transition your campuses to church plants. How is it going?
* You and Kevin Peck lead a strategic learning community, and have trained a lot of senior leaders. What have you found as you have trained them to be their greatest need?
