In this edition of The Scargill Podcast exploring leadership,host Shaun Lambert is joined by Annie Naish, Chaplain, and Director of Scargill, Phil Stone, who reflect on their personal journeys into leading within Christian community.
Drawing on a wide range of experiences, they exploredifferent leadership styles – from reluctant and behind‑the‑scenes leadership to more instinctive, visible roles – and speak honestly about the joys and challenges that come with responsibility. The discussion highlights servant leadership, authenticity, conflict, and the importance of nurturing healthy relationships, all rooted in faith, prayer, and identity in God.
Together, they present leadership not as status or control,but as creating space for others to grow, flourish, and discover their gifts. The more flat, less hierarchical leadershipmodelled at Scargill offers a different perspective to churches and leaders looking for a more authentic leadership style.
Phil also chats with one of the newest members of community, Philip, about his experiences of the differences in leadership between Scargill and the church in his home country of Kenya.
