The Hidden Dangers of Success in Leadership

What does success do to the soul? In this episode of Talk’N Truth, Pastor Bryan Clark, Dan Whitney (aka Larry the Cable Guy), and special guest Trevor Schmale tackle one of the most dangerous tests a leader can face—not failure, but success.

Drawing from David’s final psalm in 2 Samuel 23, the conversation explores how a shepherd boy anointed by God became Israel’s greatest king—yet nearly lost his way when power and prosperity blurred his perspective. David’s closing words remind us that greatness isn’t about platform, talent, or applause. It’s about remembering who made you great in the first place.

If you’ve ever aspired to leadership, wrestled with ambition, or wondered how to stay faithful for decades rather than seasons, this conversation offers practical wisdom, hard-earned perspective, and a reminder that God is the one who is truly great.

Perfect for viewers interested in: Bible study podcasts, 2 Samuel 23, leadership integrity, Christian leadership, humility in success, church leadership culture, celebrity pastors, guarding your heart, faithfulness over fame, and long-term spiritual character.
