10 Bible Verses For Struggling Leaders

Friends, let me tell you… The struggle is real. We all go through challenges.

Because you’ve chosen to step in, or move into, the position of a leader, you’re experiencing more struggle than the average person. Not only do you have the weight of your personal life on your shoulders, but you also have the weight of your organization’s struggles on your shoulders.

This is weighty. This is heavy. And this can tear you down.

How To Live Out Your Faith In The Workplace

You may have heard of cases such as Jack Phillips, the Christian baker in Colorado who refused to bake a cake for a homosexual couple, or Joel Dahl, the owner of Dahled Up Construction in Oregon, who was sued for hosting a Bible study during working hours.
