What this episode covers
What does it really mean to lead with faith—and to turn purpose into action? In this episode of Back2Basics, Dr. Michelle Martin Bonner, three-time #1 Amazon best-selling author, executive coach, and CEO of AMMEmpowerment, shares powerful lessons from more than 30 years of leadership and personal transformation. We explore why your job is what you do, not who you are, how to pursue your calling without recklessly walking away from your career, and why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Michelle also reflects on Jesus as the ultimate servant leader, the role of forgiveness in overcoming adversity, and how faith can provide direction when life simply doesn’t make sense. A conversation about leadership, resilience, identity, purpose, and having the courage to write the vision, make it plain—and make things happen.
