What if the stress you're carrying isn't coming from what you're doing wrong but from what you're trying to control that was never yours to begin with?
In this episode of the Quest for Success Podcast, Dr. Jerry Cunningham breaks down the Serenity Prayer as a practical, everyday leadership framework and not just something reserved for recovery rooms or crisis moments. You'll learn how to apply serenity, courage, and wisdom to real-life decisions at work, at home, and in your own personal growth.
This episode blends psychology, leadership, and faith in a grounded, relatable way. You'll hear how acceptance actually fuels growth, why confidence follows action instead of preceding it, and how wisdom helps you slow down long enough to choose well instead of reacting fast. Along the way, you'll gain practical tools to reduce stress, increase clarity, and focus your energy where it actually matters.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or stretched thin trying to manage everything, this episode will help you lead yourself more effectively and live with greater peace and purpose.
