Today, we’re talking about something I know so many of you face: difficult people at work.
Maybe it’s the passive-aggressive coworker.
The manager who micromanages.
Or the colleague who constantly undermines your authority.
We all have them… and let’s be honest, sometimes we are them, too.
But here’s the thing... conflict isn’t always the enemy.
It can be an opportunity for growth, refinement, and even deeper connection… if we learn how to approach it God’s way.
So in this episode, I’m giving you 5 Bible-based tips for handling conflict at work—without losing your peace, your witness, or your confidence.

In today's episode, I share 3 of the biggest challenges female Christian leaders face. 
Integrity
Let's talk about integrity.
Definition of Integrity - Cambridge Dictionary
“The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles that you refuse to change."
What does the bible say about integrity?
Proverbs 2:7 NLT: “He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.”
Proverbs 11:20 NLT: “The Lord detests people with crooked hearts, but he delights in those with integrity.”
Proverbs 10:9 NLT: “People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed.”
I heard once, Integrity is doing the right thing all the time, whether someone is looking or not. 
Listen in as I share 3 integrity challenges, what they look like, why we do them and how we can overcome them.

109 | [Series] Are you Ready to Step out of the Boat? Peter’s Leadership Story - Lessons from the Bible's Most Reluctant Leaders Part 6

In today’s episode, we’re looking at the life of Peter, the disciple who literally stepped out of the boat in faith... and what his story teaches us about leadership, fear, and trusting God even when we feel unready.
Peter wasn’t the most polished or perfect leader. He doubted. He failed. He struggled with fear.And yet, Jesus still called him — not because Peter was flawless, but because he was willing to say yes.
If you've been hesitating to step into the leadership role God is calling you to, this episode will encourage you: you don’t have to be perfect — you just have to step out of the boat.
Reflection:
Where are you hesitating in your leadership calling?
What fears or failures are holding you back?
What would it look like to surrender your reluctance and trust God to empower you?

108 | [Series] From Persecutor to Preacher - Paul's Radical Leadership Transformation - Lessons from the Bible’s most Reluctant Leaders part 5

What does it take to go from tearing down the church to building it up? In this episode, we explore Saul’s dramatic encounter with Jesus in Acts 9 and how it completely redefined his identity, purpose, and leadership.
If you’ve ever felt unqualified, disqualified, or too flawed to lead, Paul’s story is for you. 
Reflection
What part of your past are you allowing to disqualify you?
Where might God be calling you to lead, but fear is holding you back?
How would your leadership shift if you fully believed that grace has made you new?
Take a moment today to sit with that. Journal. Pray. And remember: If God could transform Saul into Paul, He can surely use you.
