This is a mini-series on the Desperation of Leadership over the next few days:

Loretta King said, 'Leadership is born out of the need to stand up for what’s right, even when the ground beneath you trembles.' We are called to run the final stretch—faithful, fearless, and full of light.

Will you run the race for which you were sent to earth to run?

We live in a world that constantly demands evidence. “Prove it,” they say. “Show me first, and then I’ll believe.”
But faith doesn’t work that way. Faith asks us to trust before we see, to obey before we understand, to walk when the way ahead is still dimly lit.

“Heaven is cheering you on — today, tomorrow, and forever. Be not afraid to thank the Lord even in the dark, for dawn will break.” - Apostle, Jeffrey R. Holland

When Jesus said, “I have called you friends” (John 15:15), He offered one of the most intimate invitations ever spoken. The Savior of the world didn’t call His disciples servants, followers, or workers—He called them friends. To be a friend of Jesus means to walk in love, to serve in loyalty, to share in His joy, and to be transformed through His trust.

The truth is: You can make a difference.
Every act of kindness, every word of courage, every choice to stand for what is right—these shape the world around us. We may not always see the ripple, but history is written by individuals who chose to act when it would have been easier to stay silent.

Ask yourself: Am I settling for what is merely good? Am I choosing what is better? Or am I pressing toward the best—the life of fearless faith, excellence, and service that God has designed for me?

Remember: Good is okay, Better is progress, but Best is God’s way. Let us work today to choose God's way.

Prayer is not only speaking to God — it is also listening. Jeffrey R. Holland, an apostle of Jesus Christ, once taught: “Heaven is eager to hear our prayers, but even more eager for us to listen.”

Righteous Decisions — the choices we make each day that draw us closer to God or further away. Every decision matters, both big and small, because each one shapes our character and our destiny.
