In this episode of Culture Keys, Pastor Ronnie Harrison challenges us to take a spiritual check-up and learn one of the most important leadership lessons: you must learn to lead yourself well.

Our first and greatest leadership responsibility is not to others—but to ourselves. Through spiritual disciplines like prayer, worship, studying God’s Word, giving, and serving, we begin to order our steps and shape the person we are becoming.

Pastor Ronnie reminds us that the future we want tomorrow must be built by the decisions we make today. That’s why priorities matter. Jesus made the greatest priority clear in Matthew 22:37–40: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind—and love your neighbor as yourself.

But we cannot truly love God unless we know Him. In this episode, we explore how knowing God through Jesus, Scripture, and the work of the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts and produces a growing love for both God and others.

If you want to grow in your walk with Christ, lead yourself well, and align your life with the priorities of the Kingdom, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

Question to consider:

Where have other pursuits watered down your pursuit of God?
