New Series: Willard's Wisdom for Leaders
When Leaders Feel the Pressure to Make Things Happen
Episode 1: Willard’s Wisdom for Leaders — Waiting Upon the Lord
Before we begin, one quick note. If you’ve listened to my previous Christian Education and Leadership reflections, those were an AI voice (maybe not such a great one?). This one is actually me. My real voice. No AI voice involved.
This is part of a new weekly series of brief 3–5 minute reflections connecting the wisdom of Dallas Willard with biblical leadership and the realities of leading in Christian education and ministry.
In this first episode of Willard’s Wisdom for Leaders, I play a short clip from Dallas Willard and reflect on what it means for leaders who feel the pressure to constantly fix problems, improve systems, and make things happen.
Dallas Willard has had a profound impact on my own spiritual development and leadership, and I hope you’ll be encouraged as well.
May your leadership be a blessing today.
Knowing where our role ends requires humility. It means acknowledging that while we plant seeds, God produces the growth. This perspective frees leaders from perfectionism and allows them to lead with both diligence and peace. Thanks for sharing valuable information.
