Faith Over Performance: Redefining Success with Vance Pitman (Pt. 2)

What if the version of success you’re chasing is the very thing stealing your peace?

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Vance Pitman and Matt Farnham go even deeper into the real cost of performance-driven leadership—and how to exchange it for peace, clarity, and purpose.

Vance shares biblical wisdom and personal experiences around leadership, fatherhood, and the pressures we face as high-capacity people. If you’ve ever struggled to slow down, to feel “enough,” or to lead without pressure, this episode will speak directly to you.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How to define success through stewardship, not results
  • What it means to lead with values-based clarity
  • The tension between ambition and surrender
  • How to build spiritual rhythms that support emotional health
  • Why presence is more impactful than performance in your legacy

Top 3 Takeaways:

  • You don’t need to chase more to be faithful—you need to steward what’s in your hands
  • Legacy isn’t built through pressure—it’s built through presence
  • When your identity is secure, your leadership becomes sustainable
