The Reclaimed Leader Podcast Jason Tucker & Jesse Skiffington

It’s been said that the hardest person you’ll ever have to lead is yourself. But, it’s absolutely key if you want to keep growing as a follower of Jesus and a leader in the church. In this episode, we close our April leadership series with a final topic: the value of self-leadership in ministry.
