Everyone wants to be successful—but few are prepared for what happens once they get there. In this episode of Fully Alive, Pastor Jeff Kapusta unpacks the hidden pitfalls of success and how to guard your heart, your leadership, and your faith as you rise.

Drawing from nearly two decades of leading Life Point Church, Jeff shares hard-learned lessons about the three biggest dangers that come with success: leaning on your own understanding, skimping on the prep work, and neglecting the Holy Spirit.

Whether you’re building a business, leading a team, or raising a family, this episode will challenge you to stay desperate for God, stay faithful in the little things, and pursue success that actually lasts.

If you’ve been chasing growth or influence, this is your reminder that getting there is only half the battle—staying there requires intention.
