In this book, Charles Duhigg explores the science of habit formation and change. He explains the 'habit loop' consisting of a cue, a routine, and a reward, and how understanding this loop can help in changing bad habits or forming good ones. The book includes numerous examples from various fields, such as how Procter & Gamble successfully marketed Febreze, how Alcoa transformed its business by focusing on safety, and how individuals like Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. benefited from specific habits. Duhigg argues that by harnessing this science, individuals and organizations can transform their lives and businesses[2][4][5].
In 'The Benefit of Doubt,' Craig Groeschel addresses common doubts and questions about Christianity, such as God's goodness, prayer, science versus the Bible, and the behavior of Jesus' followers. With his characteristic humor and openness, Groeschel shares personal stories and biblical insights to help readers wrestle with their doubts and develop a richer, more authentic faith.
Are you holding yourself back from leading at your highest level?
In this incredible conversation, I sit down with my good friend Craig Groeschel—someone I admire deeply, not just for what he’s accomplished, but for the man he is at his core. We get real about leadership—what it means to empower others, to listen, to ask better questions, and to build a culture that thrives whether you’re in the room or not.
Craig shares candidly about the lessons he’s learned over nearly 30 years leading one of the largest churches in the country and launching the YouVersion Bible App that’s impacted millions.One of the things that really hit home in this episode is how Craig talks about the shift from thinking leadership is about you to realizing it’s about what happens when you’re not there.
We break down how great leaders give authority, not just tasks, and how that’s the key to developing other leaders rather than creating followers. And yes, we go into the hard stuff—the criticism, the self-doubt, the moments where you feel like playing it safe. Craig doesn’t shy away from those moments, and neither do I in this conversation.
We also talk about something that’s been huge for me this year—surrender. Craig shares what it really means to give up control where it’s not ours to begin with, and why trusting God with the things we can’t shape frees us to lead with greater courage and faith. This episode isn’t about theory—it’s about real tools you can put into practice starting today.
- How to shift from controlling to empowering so you can build leaders, not just followers.
- Why your effectiveness as a leader is measured by what happens when you’re absent, not present.
- The habits that anchor Craig’s leadership and how to create your own keystone habits.
- A fresh approach to giving and receiving feedback that builds trust and fuels growth.
- The difference between showing love and showing belief—and why your team (and family) needs both.
- How to handle self-doubt and stop playing it safe in your vision and leadership.
- What true surrender looks like in your leadership and life.
Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:If this conversation moves you the way it did me, do yourself a favor—share it, take action on it, and let it change the way you lead. Max out your life, my friends!
