---------------------------

In today's episode, we're tackling a powerful yet countercultural truth: God's way is slow, small, and often weak—and that's exactly why it's unstoppable.

So many of us are addicted to speed. We rush decisions, launch initiatives prematurely, and burn ourselves out in the name of productivity. But this impatience not only sabotages our leadership—it blinds us to the quiet, steady work of God.

Drawing from the profound parable of the mustard seed, we'll explore how the Kingdom of God begins small and seemingly insignificant but grows into something world-changing. Together, we'll unpack three key lessons: the value of slowness, the power of small beginnings, and the surprising strength found in weakness.

This episode is a wake-up call to embrace patience and resist the cultural obsession with instant results. Whether you're leading a church, raising a family, or shaping your community, God invites you to align your pace with His—and trust that His plan is advancing in ways we may not see.

Slow down. Listen in. Discover the mustard-seed way of leadership.
