What if I told you that readiness isn’t a prerequisite for leadership? In this episode, I sit down with Luverta Reames, a trusted friend and fellow leader, to explore what it really means to lead from a place of obedience to God. We unpack the hard truths of leadership—why it’s messy, how it tests your motives, and why your relationship with God must be your anchor.
We talk about the importance of obedience over feeling "ready," how to sustain your courage and confidence through prayer and the Word, and why transparency and vulnerability are non-negotiables for building trust. Whether you’re leading a ministry, a business, or your family, this conversation will equip and encourage you to lead well and lead God’s way.
Listen in and discover:
Why obedience to God, not readiness, is the key to godly leadership
How to stay motivated and connected to your calling through Bible study and prayer
The real challenges leaders face (opposition, disappointment, betrayal)
How transparency and vulnerability build trust in leadership
Why your motives matter and how to keep them aligned with God's purpose

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
