Leadership—Foundational Principles, Character & Influence (Episode - 1)

What does true leadership really look like — beyond titles, positions, and platforms?
In this first episode of the Word & Spirit Podcast, we lay the foundation for biblical leadership by exploring character, influence, humility, and the importance of leading yourself before leading others.

In this episode, we discuss:
- The simplest and most biblical definition of leadership
- Core character traits that make leaders effective
- How to lead without a title or position
- Why self-leadership is the hardest and most important leadership skill
- Staying humble and keeping a servant’s heart as influence grows
