In today\u2019s episode, I pull back the curtain on what I\u2019ve learned about leadership transitions\u2014not from a textbook, but from the trenches. Healthy transitions are rare. And they don\u2019t happen by accident. They require deep inner work, Spirit-led discernment, and a long view that stretches beyond your lifetime. Whether you\u2019re handing over a pulpit, a nonprofit, or a small group, the principles are the same. In this conversation, I share seven lessons that make\u2014or break\u2014a leadership transition, why emotional maturity is non-negotiable, and how Jesus models the kind of surrender we\u2019re all invited into. This isn\u2019t just theory. This is about stewarding your life, your leadership, and your legacy\u2014God\u2019s way. If you care about the future of your ministry, you need this episode.
