In the rush and temptation to ‘make it all happen’, are you owning too much of your leadership results? How do we put ourselves aside, allowing God do what only He can do, in and through us? In part 2 of this series, Carter and Erin Thompson delve into how to lead from a place of ultimate security and freedom in Christ.
In a world of comparison and competition, it’s easy to feel not good enough, different, or like we’re somehow falling short of God’s expectations or desires. In this episode, Carter interviews Erin Thompson about her journey from insecurity and false guilt to leading from her identity in Christ and His deep love for her.
