Ep. 105: Jay Woudstra

How do you lead others well if you aren’t first leading yourself?

In this episode, Tom sits down with Jay Woudstra—husband, father, grandfather, and Superintendent at Sioux Falls Christian Schools—for an insightful conversation about leadership, faith, and culture.

Together they talk about:

  • Why healthy leadership begins with personal discipline and humility
  • How faith can shape culture within a school or organization
  • The daily habits that help leaders stay rooted in Christ
  • What it means to serve and influence others with integrity

Jay’s wisdom is practical, honest, and deeply rooted in faith—an encouraging reminder that the best leaders are those who first let God lead them.
