Leading with Humility - Balancing God's Strength and Human Abilities | Ron Cool

Welcome back to the second episode of our three-month series, In month 1 we are working on: Aligning Your Thoughts with God's Purpose So today is about "Leading with Humility." In this installment, we dive deep into the concept of "Leading with Humility - Balancing God's Strength and Human Abilities."

Drawing inspiration from biblical wisdom and contemporary leadership, Ron takes us on a thought-provoking journey. He explores how Christian men can effectively harmonize their God-given talents with a profound reliance on God's strength in their leadership roles.

Scriptures 

• Micah 6:8 - "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
• 2 Corinthians 12:9 - "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
• Philippians 2:3-4 - "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."

Today's Show 

In Point 1, we revisit the essential call to humble leadership, guided by the words of Micah 6:8, "To act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God." Ron shares a poignant story from the life of David, a leader renowned for his humility, demonstrating how he recognized his role as an instrument in God's hands.

Moving on to Point 2, we delve into the delicate balance between our human abilities and God's strength. Through 2 Corinthians 12:9, we learn that our weaknesses become platforms for God's power to shine through, illuminating the path of humble leadership. Ron illustrates this concept with a compelling story of a corporate leader who, in a vulnerable moment, allowed divine guidance to transform his decision-making.

In Point 3, Ron outlines actionable steps for cultivating humility in leadership, drawing from Philippians 2:3-4, which calls us to value others above ourselves and look to their interests. He shares a heartwarming story of a pastor who intentionally practiced humility by involving his congregation in decision-making, resulting in a more inclusive and spiritually vibrant community.

Join us in this episode as we explore the profound art of leading with humility, recognizing that our strength lies in our vulnerability, and our truest success is found when we put the well-being of others before our own ambitions.
