Episode 510 When We Need To Let Go

from The Daily LEAD · host Brad Otto

In Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow looks at Captain America and says, “If I don’t do this, who will?” His response is quiet but piercing: “Maybe it doesn’t need to be done.”That single exchange captures one of the most dangerous traps leaders fall into—especially pastors and nonprofit leaders who care deeply about the mission.
