Summary

In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, the discussion centers on chapter 10 of Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz. The host dives into the transformative process of receiving God's direction and emphasizes that true Christian leadership is founded on a deep, personal relationship with God rather than self-reliance or a complete blueprint from the start.

Key Themes & Insights:

The Structure of Leadership:
The book is divided into four parts: Brokenness, Uncommon Communion, Servanthood, and Radical & Immediate Obedience.
This episode focuses on “His Direction” within the Uncommon Communion section, highlighting how leadership starts with God’s presence.
Core Message of Christian Leadership:
Leadership is not about having all the answers but about doing what God wants done.
Trusting God’s process means accepting that He provides enough direction to take the next step—even if the full picture isn’t revealed right away.
Biblical Foundations & Practical Lessons:
Emphasis on the power of consistent communion with God, drawing from Psalm 32:8 and the example of Moses in Exodus.
Moses’ habit of meeting with God in the tent of meeting illustrates the necessity of removing distractions and staying grounded in divine guidance.
Four key lessons from Moses’ experience include:
Making meeting with God a consistent habit.
Seeking His presence away from the clamor of everyday life.
Inspiring confidence in others by modeling a life deeply connected to God.
Embracing an intimate, friendship-like relationship with the Lord.
Personal Reflections & Testimonies:
The host shares personal stories of seeking God’s direction during times of uncertainty and growth.
A powerful vision of a ribbon cutting ceremony foreshadowed the eventual establishment of Anchored Media Studios, reinforcing that God’s assignments often unfold gradually as we obey His call.
An honest account of the struggle between the rush to act and the need to remain in constant communion with God, reminding us to stay humble and obedient.
Practical Guidance for Leaders:
Prioritize time with God over chasing activity or external validation.
Avoid relying solely on self-help or external advice; instead, cultivate a deep, personal relationship with the Lord.
Recognize that growth in leadership comes from continuous obedience, learning, and transformation through God’s instructions.
