In this episode of The Wholehearted Way, host Nathan King and co-host Mandi Wellington sit down with Pastor Bobbi Lassiter, Associate Pastor at Covenant Methodist Church, to explore the life-changing shift from performance to presence.
Bobbi shares her powerful personal journey of confronting the "secret lies" that many leaders carry—specifically the gut-level belief of "I’m not enough"—and how those lies create a cycle of exhaustion and isolation. As a reluctant leader who once feared she didn't have a "seat at the table," Bobby discusses how true productivity in any organization—whether a church or a corporation—actually skyrockets when people feel known, cared for, and free to be human.

As a reluctant leader who once feared she didn't have a "seat at the table," Bobby discusses how true productivity in any organization—whether a church or a corporation—actually skyrockets when people feel known, cared for, and free to be human.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The Productivity Paradox: Why slowing down to care for your soul (and your team's) actually leads to better long-term results.
- Confronting the "I'm Not Enough" Lie: How identifying childhood survival techniques can break the cycle of self-sabotage in adulthood.
- The Power of the Feelings Wheel: Moving from being "scared" of emotions to using them as a tool for freedom and connection.
- Leading with Vulnerability: Why leaders must go first in admitting flaws to build authentic, trustworthy communities.
- A Marathon, Not a Sprint: Understanding that true spiritual and emotional transformation takes time and "mustard-seed" faith.
Whether you are a high-stakes executive, a ministry leader, or someone simply tired of the "human doing" treadmill, Bobby’s story offers a roadmap out of isolation and into a life where your heart is truly aligned with the person God created you to be.
