What does it look like to lead by following? That is the question at the heart of Jubilee+'s Leaders Who Follow podcast series, and Alicia Edmund's story offers a compelling answer.

Alicia's journey has taken her from working with MPs and the United Nations to a leadership role at the Evangelical Alliance — a path that, from the outside, might look like a series of impressive career moves. But as she shares in conversation with Jubilee+, the through-line has been something simpler and more demanding: a willingness to follow where God leads, even when the destination is not obvious.

That kind of discernment is harder than it sounds. It requires holding ambition and surrender in tension, being willing to take opportunities that look like steps sideways or even backwards by conventional measures, and trusting that faithfulness in small things is the preparation for larger ones.

For anyone navigating questions about vocation, career, and calling — and that is most of us, at some point — Alicia's story is both encouraging and challenging. The Leaders Who Follow series is a gift to the UK Christian community: a regular reminder that the most important leadership quality is not vision or charisma or strategic thinking, but the willingness to be led.
