In Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow looks at Captain America and says, “If I don’t do this, who will?” His response is quiet but piercing: “Maybe it doesn’t need to be done.”
That single exchange captures one of the most dangerous traps leaders fall into—especially pastors and nonprofit leaders who care deeply about the mission. In this episode, we unpack the difference between responsibility and necessity, explore why good leaders often carry too much, and ask the hard question: Is this truly mine to do… or is it time to let go? If you’ve ever felt indispensable, exhausted, or quietly resentful, this conversation is for you.
