The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast · Oct 29, 2026 · 1h 34m

Philip Anthony Mitchell has the number-one book in the world, but only a few years ago, he nearly quit and nearly ended his life.

In a deeply candid interview, he opens up about jealousy, depression, preaching that lands, and leading when your church stalls or explodes.
