"God can build your ministry or business in a moment, but it takes Him decades to build your character."
In the debut episode of The Live Leadership Roundtable at Real Life Church, we strip away the corporate buzzwords to define what leadership actually is: Influence and Stewardship. If you have a title but no influence, you aren’t leading—but if you are influential, you have a divine assignment.
The roundtable community dive deep into the "tortuous time" between receiving a vision and seeing it come to pass. We explore why many gifted, charismatic leaders forfeit their influence when the weight of the assignment begins to wear on them, and why the "stubborn" leader—the one who refuses to quit—is the one God promotes.
In this episode, we discuss:
The Weight of the Wait: Why the delay is rarely on God’s side and how to survive seasons of disappointment.
Character vs. Charisma: Why God cannot bypass character development and why He values your wholeness over your immediate happiness.
The Myth of the "Right Way": Learning to die to your own plans so God can establish His path.
Overcoming the Fear of Missteps: Why God’s ability to guide you is greater than the enemy’s ability to deceive you.
Whether you’re leading in the boardroom, the classroom, or the living room, this conversation will equip you to trust the Planner even when you don’t understand the plan.
