Leading with Intentionality: Lessons from Dr. Chap Clark

No Regrets Leadership Podcast

Today on the No Regrets Podcast, Albo Esilaba is joined by Dr. Chap Clark to talk about the power of intentionality in leadership. Chap shares how his life was shaped through Young Life, when someone remembered his name and invited him into authentic community. That early encounter taught him the lasting impact of seeing others with intentionality—and it continues to shape how he leads today.

Together, Albo and Chap explore what it looks like to create intentional spaces that reflect the heart of Jesus—spaces marked by care, service, and encouragement, rather than aggression or hierarchy. They discuss how leaders can honor and empower people in everyday settings, paying close attention to those God has placed in their care.

Chap also shares practical insights for equipping and celebrating young people, preparing them for faith, and affirming them through relationship and encouragement. He emphasizes the importance of being like a "big brother" who calls out the value in youth while also being willing to learn from them as mutual partners in faith.

This conversation is a reminder that every act of intentional leadership—whether with young men or men of any age—has kingdom impact. Even small investments of encouragement can ripple out in ways that change lives.
