'Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness is largely a matter of conscious choice and discipline.'
--Jim Collins

What really holds greatness together?
In this week’s Coaching the Bible, we step into Shoftim and explore the paradox of the crown: everyone dreams of it, but few realize the weight it carries. The Bible's command to “place a king over yourself” sounds like an invitation to glory — but the very next verses set guardrails: no multiplying horses, no endless wives, no hoarding gold.
Greatness, it turns out, is not sustained by abundance, but by limits. We’ll unpack what the text is teaching, connect it to modern psychology on hubris and power, and learn from leaders like Washington, Bezos, Chouinard, and Schultz about why restraint is the real secret to lasting impact.
Join us for Episode 256: On The Limits That Make & Keep Greatness.
