Moody is currently in a transition season. We have had to say goodbye to the local morning show, and at the same time, we are committed to reaching even more people with the Gospel as we see growth in our digital offerings. Change is hard, but I am thankful and encouraged in knowing that God is Constant. Jesse Carroccio, Station Manager, WRMB Moody Radio Leading an organization that deals with the underbelly of society, the fastest growing criminal industry whose principal commodity is innocent children, has its challenges daily. I stand firm in our faith that we are the hands and feet of Jesus. We expect adversity and step out in boldness knowing we are never alone. In doing the work we came across many who presented as allies and then discovered they were not. The disappointments were great but seeing the true beauty of humanity and grace in the face of a child, who has been saved from the grips of evil fuels us. Dr. Jessica Vera, President, Chief Executive Officer, Elite Foundation I find the most difficult leadership challenge to be leading myself, and while I can't recall a specific challenging leadership instance, I daily try to filter my life through a Biblical lens and examine myself. Am I having integrity in what I say I'll do? Am I treating others around me with respect? Am I encouraging and building up those around me? etc... Justus Martin, Photographer, Justus Martin Photo Honestly, I don’t know how anyone starts a leadership journey without being a Christian. I couldn’t begin my day relying on my intellect, intuition, or drive. What a blessing it is to instead to trust in Jesus and use the gifts and talents God has given me — to seek His wisdom in how I spend my time, interpret situations, and respond with Spirit-led discernment. I fall short often, but I feel His presence guiding me in a tangible, undeniable way. I’m so grateful! Laura C. Bishop, Executive Vice President of Development, Palm Beach Atlantic University One of the biggest challenges is the finances. Many times, the tithes and offerings were very low. But the Lord bought the church through every time. Now, being fully persuaded, I know the Lord won't let His people down. He's raised my level of faith. Larry Lacy, Pastor, The Answer Church During a challenging season of institutional transition, when tough decisions had to be made and uncertainty loomed, I turned to prayer and Scripture—especially Proverbs 3:5-6—for strength and direction. Trusting in God’s sovereignty helped me lead with clarity, peace, and a deep sense of purpose, even when the path forward was not fully visible. Dr. Mary Drabik, President, South Florida Bible College & Theological Seminary Leadership is an interesting concept. The Centurion in Matt 8:9 acknowledged that while he led men, he was also "a man under authority." Any leadership challenge that I have faced over the decades, whether at work, in the home, or in the church, could have been resolved with the kind of humility displayed by the centurion. I say "could have" since, to my regret, I was not always willing to humble myself in the sight of the Lord. But on those occasions where I was able to submit and esteem others better than myself, things worked out so much better. Funny how the Word is always right. Mike McDermott, Seniors and Probate Specialist, The Keyes Company While leading through an unexpected crisis, I was unsure about a decision, especially with all eyes on me. Many felt one way and the rest completely differently. I chose to pray instead of panic. That peace allowed me to make the right decision, lead calmly, and encourage others. In the world, we win or lose. In the Kingdom, we all win. Dr. Mike Rozenblum, Genesis Physical Medicine & Chiropractic My faith has helped me in all my leadership challenges. As a believer in Jesus Christ, who is the best leader ever and the Bible is the best leadership book ever written, I can tap into His wisdom for those leadership challenges. The latest challenges have been navigating our business through an unpredictable insurance market environment. Milan Stefanovic, Chief Operations & Personal Lines Officer, Bass Underwriters When the founder of our ministry passed away suddenly, the void he left behind wasn’t just organizational - it was deeply personal and spiritual. In the wake of grief and uncertainty, it was unclear how we could continue. But as President, I took hold of the promise of John 16:13 that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth. Based on this, I stepped out, each step forward becoming an act of faith anchored in the truth that in times of transition, the Holy Spirit is not silent - He leads, He speaks and He sustains. Oksana Horton, Artistic Director, Torch and Trumpet Theatre Company As the founder and Pastor of The Worldwide Christian Center Church, my faith helped me through a leadership challenge in the year of 1989 when a member of the church, whom I had confidence in, committed the act of sedition. When our church was only four years old, he persuaded about one half of our then small congregation to follow him to another church with a much larger congregation. This was devastating to our then small church because the church members that he took with him were about one half of our faithful tithe paying members. My faith in knowing that God had called me to start this work for Him kept me going. I give God all the praises and glory.
