To Whom Do I Belong?
from Before You Lead Hosted by Bishop Todd Hunter
Most leaders already know the right answer. We preach that Jesus is Lord, and we admire Paul’s single-mindedness. But knowing doesn’t automatically change how we act. Our audiences are loud, persistent and immediate. They’re in our faces before we’ve finished our morning coffee, and they follow us home in texts, emails and calls. The voice of heaven is quieter. It isn’t absent, but it can get lost in the noise of leadership. In this episode, I introduce you to Polycarp, an early church bishop who learned the faith from the Apostle John and faced pressure from every side. His clarity of mind and heart came from decades of choosing, again and again, whose voice to trust. Jesus modeled the same thing: His leadership could flex because his core was fixed. Today’s practice: Bring yourself back to your first love, the soil your leadership grew from. Ask the question Polycarp settled long before he was put on the spot: To whom do I belong? Then anchor yourself in that audience of one before the day’s demands begin. Follow Before You Lead on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Before You Lead is a free gift from Todd Hunter Ministries.
