Episode 128: More Than You Know: The Impact of Faithful Leading

 Happy New Year, friends! This season is often filled with fresh goals and inspiration—but it can also feel heavy and uncertain. As we look back on the past year, it’s easy to wonder whether our efforts really mattered. In these darkest days of winter, optimism can feel hard to come by. If you’re feeling doubtful about your work as a leader, take heart: your Father in Heaven sees your faithfulness, and your efforts matter to Him.
We have been created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do (Eph 2:10)
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" Micah 6:8
Hebrews 6:10 “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.”

Episode 127: When It’s Okay Not To Show Up

Do you ever wake up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare about not being able to fulfill your responsibilities?  There are so many details to remember as a leader - do you ever ask yourself What if I can’t be there?  Will everything fall apart?  What if I forget something?  These questions cause us stress, and unnecessary panic.  Today’s conversation is all about when its OKAY not to show up, not to be perfect and maybe even to forget something.  You’re going to be okay! Listen in and don’t panic.  
Bible verse 2 Cor 12:9-10 "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. For when I am weak, then I am strong"
