Carter Leak | Guiding the Hurting to Hope

Published on: 14th August, 2025

Chad talks with Carter Leak, CEO of Bank of St. Francisville, about what it really means to build community. Carter shares why he and his wife host 3-4 events per week at their house (including a 100-person baseball banquet), how he learned to lead with weakness instead of trying to have all the answers, and why his personal mission statement is "guiding the hurting to hope." They discuss the difference between loving people and treating them like projects, how faith can be bold without being pushy, and why Carter thinks the key to empowering others is getting out of their way and slowing down enough to actually see the people in front of you.
