Gritty Leadership | The essential difference between those who can & those who can't | Part 4

After the vision is cast, the enthusiastic response, and the naive, gun-ho attempts come the inevitable resistance to the plan. What separates the REAL leader from the leader who opts to quit is a solid mindset of grit. You either have it, or you don't, and Nehemiah had it in spades. Let's look at how he overcame opposition from outside the wall, within his own people, and inside the leadership of Jerusalem.  Find the video here: YouTube: @thepastorwill [https://youtube.com/@thepastorwill] Find me here: Instagram: @thepastorwill [https://www.instagram.com/thepastorwill/] X: @thepastorwill [https://twitter.com/thepastorwill]

The Art of the Buy In | Empathy and Purpose | Leadership Part 3 | EP 4

As a leader, you are tasked with taking a group of diverse individuals and galvanizing them toward a shared goal. You are the one with the vision, the drive, and the experience, BUT they are the ones who will do the lion's share of the work: neither side of this equation can succeed without the other. So what you need to be an effective agent of change and progress is for your people to "buy in" to the vision as though it were their own. How do you do that you ask? Well, tune in today and find out! Episode 4 of the For REAL Life and Godliness podcast is the one you don't want to miss!

Humble Beginnings | Nehemiah | Leadership Part 2

Welcome to episode 3 of the For Real Life and Godliness podcast! Today, we continue our leadership series by exploring Nehemiah and identifying the first of three essential qualities that every REAL leader must possess: humility. Nehemiah held no position or title that would lead him to seek the governorship of Judea. However, because no one else was willing to step up, he decided to take on this responsibility. He boldly asked the king for leave and ventured into the unknown to do what he could with the resources available to him. The book begins without any prior record of leadership, yet it immediately thrusts a man with a comfortable position in a palace into the pressing challenges faced by his suffering people. He will show that humble beginnings do not limit a person's ability to succeed as a leader and that one man can make a significant impact when he, in the presence of God, genuinely seeks the well-being of those he is called to lead. Let's dive in and discover what Nehemiah has to teach us!
