Every leader makes mistakes, but not every leader knows how to recover from them. Other leaders don't even admit they made a mistake and will do everything to remain "credible".
In this episode, I unpack what to do when your decisions, words, or actions have damaged trust with your team.
You’ll learn why your mistakes don’t disqualify you, how Scripture points us toward humility and restoration, and practical steps you can take to rebuild credibility and lead with confidence again.
📖 What you’ll hear in this episode:
-
The biblical perspective on failure and redemption in leadership
-
Why humility and honesty are essential for regaining trust
-
Three practical steps you can take to start rebuilding today
Whether you’ve just walked through a tough leadership moment or want to be prepared for the future, this conversation will remind you that God can use even your failures as part of your leadership story.
👉 Listen now and discover how to restore trust and move forward in faith.
Reflection & ActionAs you reflect on this episode, consider these questions:
-
Where have I hesitated to admit a mistake in my leadership—and what held me back?
-
What step of humility (apology, clarification, or action) could I take this week to begin restoring trust?
-
How can I remind myself daily that my worth as a leader is rooted in Christ, not in perfection?
✍️ Take a few minutes to journal your responses—or pray through them, asking God to give you courage, wisdom, and grace in your leadership.
