In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with Patrick Watt, CEO of Christian Aid, about what it means to lead in a time where poverty, climate, and inequality are deeply intertwined. Patrick reflects on his journey from a rural upbringing in England to leading one of the world’s most respected faith-based development organizations, sharing how his background in theology and development shaped a lifelong commitment to justice. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that real motivation comes not from abstract goals, but from encounters with communities, partners, and supporters who dedicate themselves to a purpose beyond their own lives. The discussion explores the evolving role of faith in development, the shifting landscape of institutional religion, and the growing importance of locally-led approaches. Patrick speaks candidly about the challenge of “letting go” of power as an organization, describing Christian Aid’s role increasingly as a convener, connector, and catalyst. He also reflects on the role of prayer and perspective in sustaining leadership, and the importance of holding difference while working toward shared values of dignity, equality, and justice. Patrick Watt is the Chief Executive Officer for Christian Aid, leading the organization in its work to tackle poverty and promote dignity, equality, and justice. He works closely with the SLT and the Board of Trustees and engages staff, supporters, partners, and sponsoring churches to realize Christian Aid's vision. Patrick has widespread experience working in development and humanitarian organizations, including Oxfam, ActionAid, and Save the Children International, where he was the Advocacy and Campaigns Director. He holds degrees in Theology from the University of Cambridge and in Development Studies from the London School of Economics. Listener Engagement:
