It's not about you—it's about them. In this week's episode, John Maxwell shares the powerful shift that transforms everyday leaders into extraordinary influencers and makes it possible for your leadership to truly impact others!
After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede share real-world examples of how making it about others unlocks trust, connection, and next-level leadership.
Key takeaways:
The more you focus on adding value to others, the more you'll receive value in return.
To communicate in a way that truly resonates, make your message all about your audience, not yourself.
The three questions every follower is asking about their leader: Do you care about me? Can you help me? Can I trust you?

It's mailbag time! Kaitlyn and Mike field your questions about faith and works, why churches sometimes prioritize nursery duty over community outreach, and how to move beyond the "Bible in a Year" grind.
