From leadership lessons and personal setbacks to the tension between supernatural calling and earthly outcomes, together, Amy and Ben discuss the spiritual and practical side of leadership, the emotional toll of failure, and the kind of resilience that doesn’t give up. You’ll hear wisdom for navigating disappointment, lessons on hearing God in the aftermath, and encouragement for rebuilding with a deeper sense of purpose.

Because in God's economy, nothing is wasted—not even failure. Sometimes, the loss is the soil for your next season of growth.
