Finding Clarity for Me, We, and Purpose
from Leveraging Success · host Jeff Gerhardt
What drives your life—passion or obligation? Are you simply checking boxes, or are you pouring your heart into a life that truly matters forever? Too often, we fall into a transactional mindset with God, treating our service like a business deal rather than a calling. But what if real success in life requires more? In this episode of the Leveraging Success Podcast, Jeff Gerhardt explores passion, leadership, and organizational health, especially in the context of Kingdom leadership and personal mission. Jeff emphasizes that passion, not obligation, should drive our involvement in meaningful work. He critiques the transactional mindset in serving God, advocating for enthusiasm and commitment instead. Jeff discusses creating self-sustaining organizations by empowering others and focusing on unique capabilities. He highlights the importance of organizational health, referencing Patrick Lencioni's "The Advantage," and introduces six essential questions to foster clarity and purpose within organizations and personal lives.
