Leading with Prayer, Not Panic

In this solo episode of Holy Business, Candice dives into the story of King Saul as a cautionary tale for leaders today. Drawing from 1 Samuel, she unpacks how Saul's fear, insecurity, and need for control warped his leadership and ultimately cost him his place.

Candice explores the danger of clinging too tightly to roles that aren't ours, the temptation to control out of anxiety, and the destructive cycle of fearing when others outgrow us. She contrasts Saul's pride and panic with David's humility and reliance on prayer, challenging leaders to choose faith and obedience over insecurity and micromanagement.

With practical parallels for CEOs, pastors, and entrepreneurs, Candice encourages listeners to celebrate rising leaders, pause before reacting out of fear, and remember that healthy leadership is rooted in surrender to God—not in control.
