“For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisors.” — Proverbs 11:14, NIV
Maybe you’re a pastor discipling a flock. Perhaps you’re a father, raising up warriors for God’s kingdom. Or maybe you’re an organizational leader, tasked with meeting goals while being a positive influence. No matter what kind of Christian leader you are, your task is to guide those around you in a way that honors Christ.
To do this right, you need Scripture-rooted truth and practical guidance from other faith-focused men and women with wisdom that only comes from experience. And that’s exactly what you’ll find in these Christian leadership podcasts.
