The Apostolic Leadership Podcast

In the first episode of this three-part series, we dive into the critical foundation of leadership—leading yourself well. Before you can lead others, you must steward what has been entrusted to you. Whether it's your work, attitude, or responsibilities, faithfulness in small things leads to greater influence. Drawing from Joseph’s life and biblical principles, we’ll see that leadership isn't about a title or position; it's about how well you manage what you’re in charge of, even if it's just yourself. Tune in to learn how to maximize your potential in the areas where God has placed you.
