Have you ever hesitated when you knew God was calling you to act?Maybe it was speaking up in a meeting, addressing a team issue, or saying “yes” to an opportunity you didn’t feel ready for.
I’ve been there. And I know this: delayed obedience is often disobedience.
Today, we’re going to talk about that—about obedience in leadership, and how to take three practical, biblical steps that will help you stop hesitating and start leading boldly in obedience to God.
For many of us as female Christian leaders, being disobedient isn’t about defiance, it’s about fear.
Fear of getting it wrong.Fear of what others will think.Fear of stepping out without knowing the full plan.
But friend, God is not looking for perfection. He’s looking for a yes.Obedience is less about having all the answers and more about having the willingness to follow.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into something every Christian leader needs — people skills.
As Christian leaders, our people skills are not just practical — they’re spiritual. Jesus Himself said the greatest commandment is to love God and love people.
Key Verse: Colossians 3:12 — “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”
5 People Skills Every Christian Leader Needs
*Listen to the episode to learn more*
1. Active Listening
2. Empathy
3. Emotional Intelligence
4. Clear, Grace-Filled Communication
5. Leading with Humility
How to Lead with People Skills — Even When It’s Hard
When it gets hard:
Pray before you speak.
Ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom.
Remember that every person is made in the image of God — even the difficult ones.
And when you get it wrong because we all do, be quick to apologize. That alone can transform a relationship.
Reflection + Action Steps
Who in your life or leadership role do you need to reconnect with?
Where might God be calling you to communicate more clearly, or with more compassion?
How can you reflect Jesus in every conversation this week?

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.
