---------------------------
For most leaders, success is based on numbers, influence, and impact. But the life of Elijah teaches us something different.
On today’s podcast, we continue our journey in Part 2 of The Power of a Hidden Life: Leadership Lessons from Elijah.
We’ll explore a profound truth often overlooked in leadership: before we stand on large platforms or lead others, our inner life with God must be well-rooted and established. Elijah’s story in 1 Kings 17-19 reveals that God shapes leaders in the quiet, hidden places—like the cave—long before the public victories.
We'll dive into Elijah's time of hiddenness, fed by ravens and a widow, as God worked in his soul. These hidden seasons are critical because they teach us to lead from a place of deep connection with God, not simply from activity or impact. Elijah teaches us that success is about discerning the voice of God, not the pressures of Western values.
Take a deep breath, let God care for you, and allow His abundance to overflow into every part of your life!

| 1:02.6 | Don't jump to large ministry platforms until your inner life foundation is established. |
| 1:15.3 | Don't jump to large ministry platforms of success, quote, |
| 1:18.5 | before your inner life foundation is established. |

| 1:39.4 | You will drink from the brook, and I have commanded or ordered the ravens to feed you there. |
| 1:49.0 | And so he goes, he begins by his ministry in a sense, to hide, establishing a foundation where he is learning to basically be fed by God, a brook and a raven coming to feed him each day. |
| 1:56.0 | And then he's told to leave there and go at once to Zarifath to a widow at Sedan in a Gentile |
