For a powerful and honest conversation about life, leadership, and lead pastor of the Belonging Co in Nashville for a powerful and honest conversation about life, leadership,

and the beauty of following Jesus wholeheartedly.

Together they talk about what it really means to lead in a way

that reflects the heart of God,

through shepherding, discipleship, and genuine community.

Alex shares wisdom from her own journey in ministry,

including what she's learned about embracing her God-given identity,

walking through her and healing,

and staying faithful to the calling that God has placed on her life.

If you've ever wrestled with insecurity,

felt misunderstood in leadership,

or even questioned your place in the body of Christ, this conversation is for you.

So take a deep breath, settle in, and let's lean in to what God has for us today.

All right, welcome to the Grove podcast. I have as my guest today, Alex, Seeley. And I love Alex. I can't believe that you're with me today. It's such a joy to have you on the Grove Podcast. You are a legend. And we've obviously known each other for a long time, known about each other for even longer than that. But we've had some good moments together over time. And I have so appreciated what God has done in you guys. You and Henry

have planted a church in Nashville. You said 11 years ago, is that right? Yeah. That is just wild to me

that it's been that long. God has been so faithful to you guys. The Belonging Co is the name of their

gathering. It's such a special place. We've gotten to be there several

times, and it's a joy to get to have you today. I also know you guys have, you do a conference

for your church, and it's coming up, and Louie's going to be with you guys. So I'm super excited
