Episode notes
Dream of Leadership Contrast
- J.R. Briggs dreamt of people hammering wooden boxes alone in a large room, all building platforms to stand on.
- One man in the corner was calm, reading and praying, not building a platform but cultivating inner wisdom.
Substance Over Platform
- Many leaders focus on creating platforms for others to hear them rather than cultivating thoughtful, wise content.
- The value lies more in the substance and character behind the message than the size of the stage.
Prioritize Reflection Over Building
- Spend more time reflecting and praying than frenetically building platforms for visibility.
- Live out your true identity quietly without chasing recognition for sustainable leadership.
