In this episode, Ron Kelleher examines five Bible characters who faced significant tests—and failed. But this isn’t just a walk through Scripture’s darker moments. It’s a leadership masterclass in what not to do when pressure rises, pride creeps in, or fear clouds judgment. From King Saul’s insecurity to the Israelites’ fear at the edge of the Promised Land, these stories reveal what happens when leaders lose sight of God’s guidance and fall victim to their circumstances. Each character serves as both a cautionary tale and a reflective mirror for modern-day Christian leaders....

In this episode, we explore a powerful leadership moment from John 21: the disciples, weary after a long night of fishing, caught nothing—until Jesus told them to cast their net on the other side. That small shift—just a few feet—transformed failure into overflowing success. For leaders today, the message is clear: God’s guidance often comes not in sweeping changes, but in simple, obedient shifts. You don’t always need a new plan, team, or strategy. Sometimes you just need to hear His voice and take one faithful step in a slightly different direction. Ron Kelleher unpacks key...

In this episode, Ron Kelleher explores the practical and spiritual power of praying God’s promises—especially for Christian leaders who feel the daily pressure of tough decisions, high stakes, and the weight of responsibility. Whether you’re navigating a challenge in your business, guiding your team through a hard season, or just feeling the weariness of leadership, this message will renew your perspective. God’s promises aren’t meant to sit on a shelf—they are tools to be used, anchors to be held, and lifelines to be prayed. You’ll learn: Why praying God’s promises...

Christian leadership calls for more than just knowing truth—it demands skillful application. In this episode, Ron explores two essential biblical traits every leader must integrate: wisdom and prudence. While wisdom discerns what is right, prudence determines when and how to act on that truth. Without prudence, even the wisest leader can do damage. Drawing from Scripture, Ron highlights the difference between chokmah (wisdom) and ormah (prudence) and shares real-world leadership examples—from boardroom blunders to biblical case studies like Joseph, Nehemiah, and Jesus. You’ll learn how...

Have you ever felt hesitant to live out your faith at work—worried you might offend, lose respect, or risk your job? If so, you're not alone—and you’re in good company. Scripture is filled with leaders who felt just like you. But God didn’t call them because they were bold—He made them brave. In this episode, Ron Kelleher explores the stories of Moses, Jeremiah, Esther, and Peter—leaders who were once reluctant, uncertain, or afraid, but became courageous because God equipped them. Through their journeys, we learn how God's presence transforms hesitation into bold obedience. Ron...

Too often, Christian leaders find themselves coasting—living by habit, not conviction. Outwardly, everything looks fine: church attendance, leadership roles, and a respected title. But beneath the surface lies a shallow, cultural Christianity that lacks true transformation. In this powerful episode, Ron shares his personal journey from cultural Christian to authentic follower—and how that shift reshaped not just his personal walk with God, but every aspect of his leadership. Drawing from Revelation 3 and Peter’s transformation in Acts, this episode invites Christian leaders to examine...

Spiritual shipwreck doesn’t start with a storm—it starts with a drift. In this episode, we explore the subtle but dangerous reality of leadership drift—how small compromises can slowly erode a leader’s integrity, influence, and relationship with God. Using the story of King David in 2 Samuel 11, we trace the path from comfort to compromise, from compromise to cover-up, and ultimately, to collapse. David didn’t fall all at once. It began when he stayed behind—when kings went off to war. That one small decision started a series of spiritual missteps that cost him dearly. We’ll...

Leadership rises and falls on integrity. When leaders live authentically—when their walk matches their talk—people follow with trust. But when leaders wear masks and say one thing while doing another, the damage can be catastrophic. In this episode, we explore the sobering truth about hypocrisy in leadership and why authenticity must be non-negotiable for Christian leaders. Using the powerful contrast between Barnabas and Ananias & Sapphira from Acts 4–5, we unpack what it means to lead with sincerity, how hypocrisy erodes credibility, and why your private life must align with your...
info_outline🌱 Your Leadership Harvest Extends Beyond You 🌱
As leaders, our influence doesn’t end with us—it ripples outward, shaping lives, teams, and even future generations. The seeds we plant today will bear fruit in ways we may never see, impacting people beyond our immediate reach.
In this episode, we explore four biblical principles that reveal how our leadership harvest affects others:
✅ Some Will Reap What Others Have Sown – Leadership is about investing in others, even when we don’t see the immediate results (John 4:37-38).
✅ Your Harvest Can Bless Others – The success and wisdom you gain should be shared to uplift those around you (Deuteronomy 24:19).
✅ Sowing in Tears Leads to a Joyful Harvest – The challenges you face in leadership can produce lasting rewards for yourself and others (Psalm 126:5-6).
✅ What You Sow Can Impact Generations – The legacy of a leader is built through daily actions that shape the future (Psalm 22:30-31).
Your leadership matters more than you know. Stay faithful, keep sowing, and trust that your harvest will extend beyond you to bless others.
