E3: Willard's Wisdom for Leaders: Never Taste Death
How the Resurrection Frees Leaders from Fear
In Episode 3 of Willard’s Wisdom for Leaders, I play a short clip from Dallas Willard and reflect on a foundational truth for followers of Christ: we have nothing to fear.
As we move through Holy Week and approach Easter, we are reminded of the hope found in Jesus’ words in John 11:25–26, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.”
Much of leadership is often driven by fear. Fear of outcomes. Fear of failure. Fear of how others will respond. Fear of losing approval or control.
But if Christ has overcome even death, then fear no longer needs to drive how we lead.
This reflection explores how freedom from fear allows leaders to move beyond control and anxiety, and instead lead with courage, clarity, and trust in God’s work regardless of the outcome.
May your leadership be a blessing today.
