There are those times when we have to face failures. This episode explores the complex and often challenging theme of "feelings of failure" within the context of leadership and personal growth in your Christian walk and leadership. Feelings of inadequacy and unmet expectations can be burdens too heavy to carry. Join the discussion between Pastor Ed Taylor and Bob Claycamp as they talk through important solutions to deal with failures effectively. Traditionally, failure is seen as a lack of success. However, Pastor Ed suggests a redefinition from a biblical perspective: failure as a lack of faithfulness. This shift in perspective helps leaders focus on their relationship with God and their devotion to His calling rather than merely on outcomes.
