In this deeply personal and Scripture-rooted episode, Pastor Andy McDaniel is joined by Pastor Trent Heywood to discuss the biblical difference between godly leadership and unhealthy control. Drawing from 1 Peter 5 and John 10, they reflect on how Jesus led by invitation, not manipulation, and why humility and authenticity are central to lasting spiritual influence.
Whether you're a pastor, parent, teacher, or business leader, this conversation challenges you to reflect on how you're leading—and who you're truly following.
