Episode notes
Nudges Shape Leadership Journeys
- Many leaders are "nudged" into service by mentors, circumstances, or the Spirit rather than long-term plans.
- Liz's dissertation found relational responsibility often drives leaders to accept unexpected callings.
Humility Enables Divine Work
- Joseph Smith's humility made him teachable and usable by the Lord.
- Humility acknowledges gifts come from God and enables divine work through "weak things."
Box Your Expertise, Then Listen
- Put your skills and ideas "in a box" and prioritize receiving revelation in a calling.
- Take the box off the shelf only when prompted by the Spirit, so you don't miss unexpected guidance.
