Bible Leadership Podcast

Bible Leadership Podcast

Leading FOR Jesus disconnected FROM Jesus makes no sense. Your influence was never meant to run dry—it was meant to flow from the wellspring of God’s Word, not just the latest leadership books. On the Bible Leadership Podcast, we open God's Word and connect it directly to the real challenges of leading people today. Whether you’re leading in the church, at work, or at home, you’ll discover timeless biblical wisdom, practical insights, and encouragement to lead with both strength and humility. This podcast is all about one thing: connecting your leadership to the Bible and the Bible to your leadership. Because the truth is—if your leadership isn’t grounded in God’s Word, it won’t last. But when it is, it can change lives for eternity.
