Summary

"The fastest way to wreck your calling is to try and carry it all by yourself." If you’re honest, you’ve probably felt it: that creeping suspicion that the weight of it all is starting to crush you. Most try to solve this by working harder, staying later, or "grinding" through the wilderness. But here’s the reality—you can’t "out-grind" a lack of people in your life. If God has called you to go somewhere you’ve never been, He has also called a specific circle of people to get you there. In this episode, we’re looking at five distinct archetypes from the Bible that everybody needs, no matter what stage of life you’re in. We’re not talking about just "friends" or “co-workers.” We’re talking about specific, strategic relationships that define the difference between a crash and a victory lap. In this conversation, we’re breaking down: Why you need someone who knows the path better than you do (and why your attitude might be stopping them from helping). How to find the person who can handle the parts of your vision that you’re honestly not anointed for. The person who doesn't care about your platform—they only care about your soul. Why a lack of "courageous correction" in your life is the greatest threat to your destiny. How to identify the peer who is ready to step into the ring when you’re too exhausted to swing. The problem? You can’t attract these people if you aren’t willing to pay the Kingdom price of admission. You weren't meant to do it all by yourself. It’s time to stop fighting alone and start building the circle that sustains the call.

0:00.0	Listen, if you don't understand you, you will never have what you need around you.
0:07.0	The hottest, hot streaks of my career have always come when the strongest builders were building with them.
0:15.0	Some of the greatest growth can only come through someone else's courageous correction. I'm going to, as a big brother,
0:25.0	no matter how old you are, a big brother in the faith. I'm a look you dead in the face and say,
0:32.8	what's up everybody? Welcome to the leader's cut, especially if this is your first time, I don't know
0:39.8	how you got here. I don't even know what you're doing here. You may be wondering,
0:43.7	what in the world am I doing here? Somebody sent you a link to the pod or to this episode. I don't
0:50.1	know how you got here, but I do know. I'm really glad you are here because one of my favorite things to do is to have the opportunity to sit at a table where I sense the king of the universe sitting with us, leading and guiding the conversation, and you just so happen to be at the other end of the table. I don't take it lightly. I try never to
1:15.6	just be real laissez-faire about it. It's a big deal to me that you would sit at the table
1:23.1	and that God would sit with us. We, even more importantly, would ever get to sit with him.
1:29.6	What we're talking about today, really and truly, is one of the keys to my life.
1:35.1	When I was really young, I was a loner.
1:38.2	I was a go-it-alone kind of a person, and it was killing me.
1:44.3	And so one of my favorite things about getting to sit down with you is from time to time,
1:48.6	I get to chase after the young me, quote unquote, and say, stop doing it this way.
1:55.2	There's a better way.
1:56.8	And what we're talking about today is, in my opinion, one of the best ways for you to do you.
2:04.9	So let's pray and we'll jump right into the episode.
2:08.7	God, thank you for not forcing us to do life alone.
2:16.9	Thank you for not expecting us to carry the weight of our calling alone.
2:24.3	You're just so good. This is like cheating on the test. Every test you ever ask me to take,
2:33.2	you always allow me to take an open book test between your word
