How to Know If You're a Pioneering Leader

What if you’re not crazy? What if the disruption you’ve been feeling is actually God rerouting your life? In this episode of the [SHIFT] Podcast, Reginald Hinton Jr. continues the Pioneering Leadership series with a diagnostic conversation about how to know if God may be calling you to go first. Not every new opportunity is from God. Some paths look like pioneering at first, but eventually lead to guilt, shame, fear, and distance from Him. That’s why discernment matters. Using his own 2020 rerouting story, Genesis 1, Genesis 3, and the life of John the Baptizer, Reginald unpacks the difference between a God-inspired pioneering invitation and a wild goose chase. You’ll discover three signs that may point to pioneering leadership: A new mandate.A new message.A new method. And the [SHIFT] is simple: Stop guessing if God is calling you to go first.Start going first like that’s what He created you to do. If you’ve been feeling pulled into something unfamiliar, this episode will help you get clear about whether God is rerouting you for pioneering leadership — or whether you need to pump the brakes before taking a trip He never authored. CONTINUE WITH THE DAILY RECHARGEThis conversation continues in The Daily Recharge: WHAT PIONEERS REUSE WHEN GOD REROUTES THEMIn the Daily Recharge companion, Reginald unpacks the fourth piece from John’s pioneering profile: same modesty. Because God may let you go first, but He will never let you be the finish line.Watch or read the Daily Recharge here:https://indurance-movement.mykajabi.com/blog/how-to-stay-modest-when-god-reroutes-you-into-a-pioneering-leadership-journey MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: ✨WHY WE NEED PIONEERING LEADERSHIP — https://youtu.be/4pK-TkamtA0?si=21-ckwF-iGphWNTR ✨LISTEN BEFORE YOU LIFT — https://youtu.be/nbgCnI_Vuu8?si=B92O_QbT5NqK2H2H ✨REVELATION IS MULTILAYERED — https://youtu.be/jKR1Vtpd4yQ?si=w_sCQ8tKW0TBV26c CONNECT WITH INDURANCE MOVEMENTIndurance Movement helps growth-minded people move from identity crisis to identity clarity so they can become who God created them to be. Website: https://indurance-movement.mykajabi.com/ CHAPTERS00:00 — Intro: What if you’re not crazy?04:30 — God can reroute your life04:56 — God always has a plan05:47 — Why God does not give every detail up front07:02 — When pioneering feels formless, empty, or unclear08:20 — Wild goose chases are not God11:01 — The key diagnostic: who started it?12:48 — John the Baptizer as a pioneering leader13:39 — Sign 1: A new mandate15:41 — Sign 2: A new message17:53 — Sign 3: A new method20:17 — The [SHIFT] of the episode21:28 — Today’s activation22:07 — Continue with The Daily Recharge23:44 — How to start a relationship with God
