Summary

Have you ever felt like your leadership journey was more about enduring pain than achieving success? In this sneak peek of a leadership development session held at Revere Church, I explore the challenges and pain often associated with leadership. It emphasizes that pain can be a catalyst for growth and the importance of developing healthy coping mechanisms. Drawing inspiration from biblical figures like David, the session highlights finding strength in faith and building a supportive community. My focus is to encourage everyone to embrace their leadership journey, acknowledging pain, and seeking growth through faith and connection with others. Some key topics include: The role of community during crises Pursuing purpose amidst pain Addressing personal pain The value of trust Balancing discipleship with individual beliefs The impact of presence Finding God's guidance during difficult times can bring peace and help overcome the fear of pain and of having to prove yourself to others. Carefully consider the cost of discipleship, but also know that the rewards of faithfulness are always worth the challenges.

1:20.1	if I'm honest, very nervous about. But I want to make sure that everything that I've learned in the last decade, oh gosh, two decades, I'm aging myself.

1:34.7	so that they can go further, faster, and farther, and their learning curve is shorter than mine.
