When you are facing DECISIONS in your life, what do you do? When you are facing DILEMMAS in your life, meaning problems, challenging situations, the choices are not good, and you feel as if you are in between 'a rock and a hard place' ... what do you do? When you are facing DIFFICULTIES, like troubling situations, major obstacles, and hard times, what do you do? Each of us, personally, in our families, in our careers, in our workplaces, and even in our church, at times faces decisions, challenging dilemmas, and difficulties that seem insurmountable. This is why I want to share this podcast with you today.

In the first 90 Days of 2026, I read through the entire Bible. Yes, from Genesis 1 through Revelation 22–All of it in 90 Days. Why? What did I learn? What motivated me to do it? You stay tuned today, and I am going to talk to you about taking your spiritual life so seriously, that you follow what Paul charged us to do in the Scripture: 4 WAYS OF TRAINING YOURSELF IN GODLINESS.

In my life, I have failed in leadership multiple times. I wish this were not so, but it is so. I have a dear friend who is a gifted football coach. He has told me multiple times: I have learned how I want to coach football by watching other coaches do it the wrong way. In other words, he was saying: I do not want to coach like them, so I am going to coach more effectively.

As leaders, we should lead with humility. This means we must learn from our own mistakes. Furthermore, we need to learn from others who make mistakes in leadership.

Oftentimes, we are afraid to deal with the hard things in leadership. Therefore, we start sending conflicting signs about what needs to be done. We run away from what is clear. This results in ineffective leadership that communicates with clarity and consistency. This becomes a wreck when the organization and the leadership team are in the midst of change.
