As a pastor, author, and speaker based in Portland, Oregon, Butler is no stranger to the complexities of living out one's faith in a politically charged environment for leaders.

On this Leader's Corner episode we talk to our friend David Zahl about leadership lessons he's learned in marriage and in building Mockingbird.
"Just because something doesn't happen immediately doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Stick with it a little longer than you think you should." "You can get through almost anything if you feel like you've got a partner, someone who's got your back." "The demand is to be everything to everyone, which is just not feasible.""It's not about changing your spouse's process but learning to adapt and support it."
A few quotable moments from David: (Read all of his points over at the blog)David Zahl is the director of Mockingbird Ministries and editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website. Born in New York City and brought up elsewhere, David graduated from Georgetown University in 2001, and then worked for several years as a youth minister in New England. In 2007 he founded Mockingbird in NYC.
Today David and his wife Cate reside in Charlottesville, VA with their three boys, where David also serves on the staff of Christ Episcopal Church.
He is the author of Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself), Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It, and Law and Gospel: A Theology for Sinners (and Saints).How you can support us:

Question 1: what does it mean to be a dad in the times that we are living in? How much do we protect our kids from the craziness of gender identity and wokeness? What battles should we choose to fight and what battles do we steer clear of? How do we introduce our kids to the crazy un-truths they will be introduced to in a controlled environment? How do we create a foundation of truth so that when they encounter the lies in the wild, they have a baseline of truth to defend against them?Question 2: My current workplace is a startup environment that feels volatile - on one hand I see people get laid off for a minimal amount of underperformance and on the other hand I see real character issues get overlooked. How do I navigate an environment like this?
Question 3: How do you raise sons and daughters individually, and as whole while balancing the nuances that the two genders bring? Speaking mostly in terms of discipline, guidance, boundaries, etc.How you can support us:
