Courageous Men

Letting Little Fires Burn: The Strength of Still Leadership

Whitney Sewell Season 1 Episode 44

If you lead anything — a business, a team, or your family — you know the constant pressure to fix problems fast. Fires pop up everywhere, and every issue feels urgent.

In this episode of the Courageous Men Podcast, Whitney Sewell introduces the idea of still leadership — the ability to remain grounded in the middle of chaos and lead from peace instead of panic.

Through Psalm 46:10 and the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4, Whitney challenges the belief that control equals strength. He explains why control is often rooted in fear, how stillness is an act of faith, and why the most peaceful person in the storm often carries the greatest authority.

You’ll learn:

  • Why trying to fix everything leads to burnout and anxiety
  • How stillness strengthens leadership rather than weakening it
  • When to step in — and when to trust God to handle the fire
  • Practical rhythms to move from reaction to discernment
  • How leading from peace transforms your team, business, and home

This episode is for men who want to lead courageously without carrying a weight God never asked them to hold.
