Not every season of life feels like a summit.

Sometimes you find yourself back in the valley.

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, Bart Wilbanks shares an honest reflection about leadership during difficult seasons of life — when plans take longer than expected, uncertainty grows heavier, and the next summit isn’t visible yet.

Drawing on lessons from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and the timeless wisdom of Psalm 23, this episode explores how real leadership is revealed not on the summit, but in the valley.

Because the valley is where endurance is built.

It’s where faith is tested.

And it’s where character is formed.

This episode explores:

• Leadership during difficult seasons
• Faith and perseverance in uncertain times
• Personal growth through adversity
• The leadership lessons hidden in life’s valleys
• Why the summit is temporary but character lasts
• How resilience and faith guide us through hard seasons

Whether you’re navigating challenges in your career, relationships, leadership journey, or personal life, this conversation is a reminder that valleys are part of every climb — and they are never the end of the story.

Because every valley sits between two climbs.
