Episode 121: Lessons We’ve Learned from the Storm


Listen Later

About This Episode:

In this episode, Brent and Jeff share what they have learned through Hurricane Ian.

Lessons Directly from the Storm:

If you are used to be in control - a “take action kind of person”, you learn quickly in a storm that you can’t stop a storm- the wind and the water don’t obey.   But you can control how you respond.   Your attitude is your choice in the midst of a storm. 

Storms remind us we are not bigger than the storm but that we have a God who will goes through the storm with us. God unfailing presence is God’s enduring provision in our lives. 

See Habakkuk 3:16-18 and Hebrews 13:5 to learn how those in Scripture worshiped in the storms of life. 

We can be patience and rejoice in the midst of the storm because the sovereign Lord is with us.

Lessons on Leading in Chaos

When you are an effective leader, the enemy wants to throw you off your game so the storms will come.  Here are three things all leaders who want to thrive must remember:

Sometimes all you can do is shoot a gator (protect your home) and catch a fish (make a memory).

Pull up a chair and sit a spell, knowing all is well. As leaders, we must stay patient in the storm and confidence as we lead through it. 

As leaders, your attitude in the midst of chaos sets the temperature for the entire team.
