Episode 28: Courage That Costs You Sleep — Holding the Line Under Pressure, Crisis Leadership, and Joshua 1:9

Hard decisions don’t cost you in the moment.They cost you in the months that follow.In Episode 28 of Summit After the Storm, Bart Wilbanks explores what happens after you make a hard leadership decision — and resistance shows up.Drawing from a real supply chain crisis during a major Gulf Coast production shutdown, Bart reflects on what it means to:Lead under pressureHold the line when challengedStay calm when voices are raisedMake strategic decisions during uncertaintyCarry responsibility when sleep is scarceThis isn’t about a dramatic moment in a conference room.It’s about the six months after — when every shipment matters, scrutiny lingers, and resistance doesn’t disappear.Anchored in Joshua 1:9, this episode reframes courage as something steady, not loud.“Be strong and courageous… do not be afraid… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”God didn’t tell Joshua to be courageous before the decision.He told him after leadership was already his.This episode connects:Crisis leadershipExecutive decision-makingSupply chain disruptionMount Kilimanjaro life lessonsFaith-based leadership principlesResilience under oppositionIf you’re navigating resistance, facing scrutiny, or carrying weight others don’t see — this episode is for you.Because sometimes the wind is confirmation that you’ve stepped onto higher ground.🎙 Learn more about the podcast and upcoming book athttps://summitafterstorm.com#LeadershipDevelopment#PersonalGrowth#Mindset#ChristianLeadership#Parenting#BusinessLeadership#Motivation#Coaching
