---------------------------

In todayā€™s episode, weā€™re tackling a powerful yet countercultural truth: Godā€™s way is slow, small, and often weakā€”and thatā€™s exactly why itā€™s unstoppable.

So many of us are addicted to speed. We rush decisions, launch initiatives prematurely, and burn ourselves out in the name of productivity. But this impatience not only sabotages our leadershipā€”it blinds us to the quiet, steady work of God.

Drawing from the profound parable of the mustard seed, weā€™ll explore how the Kingdom of God begins small and seemingly insignificant but grows into something world-changing. Together, weā€™ll unpack three key lessons: the value of slowness, the power of small beginnings, and the surprising strength found in weakness.

This episode is a wake-up call to embrace patience and resist the cultural obsession with instant results. Whether youā€™re leading a church, raising a family, or shaping your community, God invites you to align your pace with Hisā€”and trust that His plan is advancing in ways we may not see.

Slow down. Listen in. Discover the mustard-seed way of leadership.
