Ep. 55 - Thank God I Failed: Leadership Lessons from Setbacks
Every leader has quietly asked themselves, What if I fail?
In this latest conversation on The Future Is Here Podcast, we explore the fear of failure in leadership, how to face it, learn from it, and let it shape the kind of Christian leader God created you to be.
Failure in ministry or leadership doesn’t mean the calling is over. It might mean God is forming something deeper.
In this episode, we break down 5 practical strategies to let failure build your leadership capacity:
- Normalize it
- Reflect, Don’t Just React
- Write the Lessons, Make them Plain
- Invite Feedback
- Let It Build You
We also explore how not to quit too soon, when it may not be failure but spiritual formation at work.
If you’ve ever felt discouraged after a leadership setback, questioned your purpose, or wondered if you’re still called to lead, this episode is for you.
Listen now to learn why failure is part of biblical leadership, how to grow through it, and how to lead with resilience, purpose, and spiritual maturity.
