Here's the big question this week: How surrendered are your plans? 

There are two kinds of people: the ones with no plan, and the ones that live by plan! I believe a surrendered plan is somewhere in the middle! We can often hold on so tightly to our goals, or those five year plans that we miss when God wants to take us in a different direction. We often become disappointed and complacent because it didn't happen the way we thought it would. 

It's possible to make plans, have goals, while also being ready, flexible and available so God can show us even greater plans!

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase." - Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Leadership without faith is like vision without a mission, you might see it but you won't go anywhere. True leadership requires faith because it will take us beyond our comfort zone and beyond ourselves. We will be required to take steps we never saw or expected, or may not even understand, but that's where rely completely and fully on God. He can do more than we could ever imagine. 

Sajanth Mohan, Founder of the School of Evangelists and Faith In Action shares with us his testimony of how one women's faith changed the trajectory of his whole family's life. Now there is no turning back for him. He is consistently stepping out in faith believing God has more for him than he ever thought possible!

God has called each one of us for a unique purpose. Not one of us is without gifts, and not one of us is without opportunities to use those gifts towards our purpose. That being said, our response must come from a place of surrender - a surrender to God's will for our lives. It's in that place, that God releases us into the fullness of his purposes for us! 

In today's episode, Melinda Estabrooks - Host of See Hear Love, shares with us her journey to leadership. It wasn't always easy, but the more she surrendered, the more God used her in even greater ways!

It's a topic that's rarely discussed when it comes to leadership but do you know that our physical health can play a part in how effective we can be as a leader? It's not about looking a certain way or doing a certain amount of exercise. It's about being the best version of you, and that includes body, mind and soul! 

Katrina Santiago, Health and Fitness Coach shares how she learned the importance of prioritizing her health and is now empowering others to live healthy lifestyles!
