Join Cory Lee and guest Chris Payne for an episode packed with wisdom on personal growth, building leadership skills, and transforming culture. This week, they get real about the power of spiritual and personal realignment—pulling from Cory’s recent experiences with eye and nose surgery, and his miraculous healing testimony from hepatitis B and C. Hear how these physical experiences mirror the realignment we often need in our spiritual senses and leadership journey.
The conversation dives deep into the challenges of leading with integrity in the age of social media. Cory and Chris discuss recent headlines in Tupelo, Mississippi, from police encounters to viral rescue videos, and the tendency for people online to judge quickly without knowing the full story. Drawing from biblical wisdom in Proverbs and leadership lessons, they highlight why it's so important to respond with humility, see beyond appearances, and “incline your ear” to what God is truly saying.
Topics Covered: - How to realign your spiritual and leadership senses - Dealing with criticism, online opinions, and social media negativity - Lessons from recent Tupelo news events and church culture - Why first reactions reveal your heart—and how to grow from them - Biblical leadership principles for managers and executives - How to recognize the voice of God and discern when to respond - Practical ways to lead like a shepherd and develop a heart after God - The difference between joy and happiness in hard times - Applying Proverbs and the teachings of Jesus to everyday leadership - Overcoming guilt, shame, and carrying hope into every situation
Whether you’re a faith-based leader seeking personal development, a manager navigating difficult conversations, or someone looking for spiritual encouragement, this episode offers relatable stories, actionable insights, and a word of hope for your journey.
