THE VISIONARY CHRONICLES PODCAST

Leadership | Lead by Faith, not Fear

Faith is something all of us have embraced at one point in our lives, and we know if, more often than not comes at the darkest moments or times. This is a comfort we have, knowing that all things are possible through Faith.

We often try to take on the world or do not understand how the world operates or works, and trying to figure it out seems to be an impossible task. Through building my own company and having been with some of the world's most iconic brands, problems and barriers are an inevitable part of your evolution. It is where you turn in these times that makes the difference between just surviving or eternally thriving. The strength to know there is an end and the power to realize you will always have blessings through your Faith that will carry you through these storms of life.

Each has barriers of different magnitudes, but very few of us take the time to pray and know this is a test to strengthen us for both ourselves and others. Many people feel uncomfortable discussing their Faith, which is fine as long as you have an authentic Faith that reaches out in both the good times and bad times. You will have both, but to have a singular Faith is very reassuring and comforting.

Leaders who are open about their Faith and have an engraining belief in the blessings true Faith provides each day are more reassured during difficult times and understand there is an end to the struggles. Having a leader with this character and strength in these difficult times is assuring.

Leaders can embrace several biblical principles as they look to Lead through Faith.

1. Lead by Faith, not Fear; the assurance that all things will work together for good.
2. Do not overemphasize the negative; during these storms of life, people hear enough of the bad and be the bearer of good news whenever possible.
3. Never underestimate the power of a team; cohesively bringing others together for a common goal, driven through a shared passion, is powerful.
4. Inject the positive, eliminate the negative; during storms, be the one who leads through reassurance and positivity.
5. Faith overcomes Fear, knowing and believing that a solid foundational Faith conquers Fear.

 

  “Some have refused to let Faith guide their decisions, and they have been destroyed like a wrecked ship.”

                                                                                                                   1 Timothy 1:19 (GW)

 In creating this Podcast, I wanted to discuss ALL subjects, ones I intuitively knew entrepreneurs needed to hear and ones no one wanted to discuss. Faith played an essential role in assuring I would be able to knock down barriers put in front of me in my entrepreneurial journey. The reassurance that the storm would eventually end, and the light would again be bright.

This is also why I started the Saddleback Christian Entrepreneur Leadership Ministry at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA, where Rick Warren is our Pastor and the author of Purpose Driven Life.

I hope you find this Podcast inspirational and you take it to heart. I am sure you will need the Faith to take you through a trying time or storm in your life.

Stay True, stay Authentic, be Different, and be Great!

Enjoy the Journey!
