Welcome to Stress Test! In this episode, Justin and Trisha discuss the importance of redefining success in leadership and how to establish a culture of healthy habits. They also talk about how to adjust expectations so that you don't keep rising to the occasion of performing rather than being authentic of who you are and God. Justin's most profound statement was "failure defines those that don't try again" and Trisha's was "allow your capacity to manage your ministry rather than your ministry to manage your capacity". We hope you're as encouraged by this episode as we are and that it will help strengthen you as a leader.
