Delphine Fanfon on Leading with Vulnerability and Humility, Lessons from the African Church, Reaching the Next Generation, Cultivating Identity and Purpose in Christ, and Moving Forward from Failure

In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, we explore various facets of leadership and spirituality, particularly within the African context. Our guest, Delphine Fanon, shares her journey from being a pastor's daughter in Cameroon to becoming an influential leader in spiritual and community development. She shares personal experiences and insights on the vulnerabilities and strengths of African leadership. Delphine stresses the importance of authenticity, humility and vulnerability in leadership. She discusses the impact of her 'second conversion' moment on her life and work, and how it led to the creation of her organisation 'Me4Real', focused on helping individuals to discover their secure identity in Christ. Last, she urges young leaders to respect and learn from older generations, seeing themselves not as an ultimate authority but as part of a continuous stream of God's work in human history.
