Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast, we’re joined by Dave Ferguson—someone who has spent his life shifting from being the hero of the story to becoming a hero maker.

He’s helped launch a movement that has planted thousands of churches around the world, led one of the most influential churches in the country, and written books that have shaped how leaders think about growth and multiplication.

What stands out most is his commitment to investing in others—not just building his own platform, but helping others build theirs.

In this conversation, we unpack what it means to become a hero maker—wherever you’re called to lead.
