A lesson in leadership

Here there BCU Family!

I typically record our content in an informal “podcast on the go” format. Many times, the Lord gives me subject matter as I am driving or waiting, so I record on the spot! You can access the podcast here, or click on the avatar below, as you refer to the show notes below for the highlights. We pray the content blesses and encourages you. If so, please thumbs up AND leave a comment! Thank you and enjoy the podcast!

Podcast highlights:

  • When on the job, I am privileged to facilitate some amazing content to many phenomenal new and aspiring leaders.
  • Sometimes, leaders need to be reminded that staff needs time, patience, understanding and compassion to learn the ropes of a new task.
  • Recently, the Lord reminded me of a time where He used someone to teach me the aforementioned points—-many years ago, and how that teaching helped to shape my life to His glory.

KJV Scripture References

Ecclesiastes 3:1,3

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

2 Timothy 3:16

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Philippians 4:6-7

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 16:24

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Colossians 4:6

Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

2 Corinthians 1:6

And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.


BCUFam, I have been saying this for years—-we have to know how to talk to people, so they will want to talk with us. While there is a time for reproof and correction, most of the time, it is not while the person is crying out for assistance. Therefore, it is prudent that we are slow to anger and speak, and quick to hear what the person is saying, as well what the Lord is saying, so He will guide us on our responses. We can never over-acknowledge the Lord when it comes to needing help on how to take care of His assignments, so that He is honored and glorified in our lives.

I lost track of the sister that was such an encouragement to me, but the Lord knows who she is. I thank the Lord for how He used her to comfort and undergird me, and to shape how I interact with people. My prayer is that the Lord will always bless her and her family spiritually, physically, financially, mentally and emotionally—- and in all abundance until He comes back again. We never know how our acts of kindness will not only bless us, but all whom we are connected to as well. And on top of it, we will be welcomed into heaven for a job well done, as good and faithful servants! Now that’s something to look forward to! Amen? Amen! Let’s pray!

Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for what our ears have heard! We thank You for the people You have placed in our lives, realizing that sometimes, they are with us for a season—to help us get to the next level in You. We also thank You for helping US to be cognizant that we may be “that person” for someone else. Please help us to acknowledge You in all our ways, as we endeavor to take good care of the people You have entrusted us with, so You will be magnified in our lives. We thank You, Jesus, for continuing to strengthen and keep us, as we continue to give you all the glory, honor and praise, in Jesus name we pray and thank You, Amen!
