    Why do we do that?

    In this episode, Nick Jorgensen and Rick Pop take a fun, honest look at the little habits that can quietly undermine our leadership—everything from jumping to conclusions, to time management, to competitive comparison. Through personal stories, they invite leaders to grow in self-awareness, bring these patterns to prayer, and ask trusted people for loving feedback. The challenge: identify what might be distracting others from your mission—and take one concrete step to become a more effective, Christ-centered leader. ______   Connect with us!

    Are you hungry? Is your team hungry?

    Ambition. Drive. Desire. Hunger. We aspire to cultivate these qualities, both as individuals and among the teams we lead. Yet, at times, maybe frequently, we don’t sense the hunger that is required to accomplish the great Mission for which we are called. At other times, we may be questioning if our hunger is properly ordered toward the glory of God and serving others, or is it instead chasing personal recognition or other gain. As a leader, can you create or at least influence rightly ordered hunger, and if so, how? A big question to ponder. Join Nick and Rick in this episode to explore how leaders in the Church may approach answering such a question.  ______   Connect with us! MissioInstitute.org Missionguys@missioinstitue.org
