Leadership tempts us to measure progress by outcomes we can’t control. Not every win is visible. Sometimes leadership looks like staying present, engaged, and faithful right where you are. Faithfulness often does its deepest work in ordinary moments.

Ministry requires vulnerability — and vulnerability attracts warfare.
Every time you preach honestly, share part of your story, or sit with someone seeking wisdom, you’re opening a sacred part of your heart. And the enemy often waits for that exposed moment after you pour out to whisper lies, stir doubt, and attack what God just used. 1 Peter 5 gives us a roadmap for how to guard our hearts in those moments.
