Leading in Crisis - Moses & Miriam

Leadership isn’t just about power—it’s about pressure. When crisis strikes, how do leaders respond? Do they step up—or shrink back? Becky Alcantar and Sonny Hennessy explore "Leading in Crisis" through the lives of Moses and Miriam—two leaders who knew what it meant to lead through crisis, carrying the weight of a nation’s fears, conflicts, and trauma. What happens when leaders clash? Miriam and Aaron challenged Moses—was it sibling rivalry, spiritual conflict, or something deeper? And what can we learn from their struggles? Through scripture, psychology, and neuroscience, we’ll uncover how God sustains leaders in crisis—and how healing happens even in the hardest moments. Question for the show?
