In this week’s Leadership Lessons, we reflect on Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:6: “Do not cast your pearls before swine.” This powerful call to discernment urges us to steward what’s holy with wisdom. Our time, counsel, and spiritual authority are precious meant to be sown into receptive hearts, not wasted on those who mock or reject truth.

Pastor Ryan Schlachter reminds us this isn’t about giving up on people, but about honoring what God is doing by protecting Kingdom resources and setting healthy boundaries. As we lead, may we guard the culture of honor, invest wisely, and grow in spiritual maturity becoming more effective in building God’s Kingdom.
