Summary
Kaleb talks about leading in weakness. He shares a moment with his daughter that reminded him how much he needs God. He draws from 2 Corinthians 12 and shows why spiritual strength starts with honesty. Kaleb helps you see how staying present and trusting God can shape the way you lead.
What You’ll Hear:
• What it means to be frail but full
• Why kids need to see you depend on God
• How to lead from a place of weakness without shame
• Why honesty builds trust more than confidence
• How to ask for wisdom when you don’t have the answers
• Why grace leads better than striving ever could
Tune in for a reminder that your limits don’t disqualify you; they make room for God’s power.
