Superman Is Dead: Building Teams That Last, With Mike Kai & Pastor Jeffrey Rachmat from Jakarta Praise Community Church
Wednesday, 20 May, 2026
On this episode of the Pound for Pound Leadership Podcast, we sit down with Pastor Jeffrey Rachmat — founder of Jakarta Praise Community Church — for one of the most honest and impactful leadership conversations we've had yet. What started as a staff chapel quickly turned into a masterclass on leadership, succession, culture, and building through crisis. Pastor Jeffrey shares the incredible story of launching JPCC on July 4th, 1999, during one of the most unstable seasons in Indonesia's history: economic collapse, political unrest, and churches being burned down across the nation. In the middle of chaos, God called him to build a church. At first, he said no. Eventually, he said yes. And that obedience would become the foundation of one of the most influential churches in the world today. In this episode, we unpack: • Why vision alone is never enough, and what actually determines whether a church survives or thrives • The difference between building a church and simply holding services • Why "Superman is dead" and how healthy leaders build super teams instead • How to navigate change without losing your culture and identity • What Pastor Jeffrey learned after leading for 25 years and successfully transitioning leadership • How to know when an organization is truly ready for succession • The leadership principles that helped JPCC grow in one of the hardest environments on the planet This conversation is packed with practical wisdom, deep conviction, and leadership lessons every pastor, leader, entrepreneur, and team builder needs to hear. If you're leading through transition, building culture, raising teams, or trying to stay faithful in difficult seasons, this episode is for you.
