Leading with the Holy Ghost | Closer to Jesus S2 Ep32 (2025)
In Season 2, Episode 32, of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, I talk about what it really means to lead with the Holy Ghost. Leadership isn’t about power or position—it’s about service, wisdom, and being guided by the Spirit for the good of others.
The book of Proverbs tells us that knowledge and wisdom preserve and strengthen us, but Jesus shows us that it’s not enough to just know the truth—we must also live it.
Through stories of Paul, Cornelius, Peter, and my own testimony, we see how the Holy Ghost directs, equips, and connects us at just the right time with the right people.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
