Episode notes

Exploring the concept of self-reliance and its limitations, the speaker recounts their journey as a business person and how they came to realize the need to rely on a higher power. The chapter also touches on the struggle of self-reliance among dads and offers practical steps to overcome it.

For years, entrepreneur and author Scott MacLellan based success on the results he could measure each and every day. As a driven, self-reliant leader, he naturally carried that works-based mentality into his life as a husband, father, and Christian. But God showed him a better way through the biblical model of King Solomon, which Scott recounts in his book The Ancient Ladder. If you’re a husband and father who struggles to let go and let God, Scott’s wisdom and insight might be just what you need for the next season of your life. His transparency and experiences offer a great reminder and challenge to guys who feel the pressure to fix things in their own strength.
