Every leader teaches something, whether they realize it or not. In this episode, Mikel delivers a leadership gut check: what you tolerate is exactly what you teach. He explores how our silence communicates standards to our teams, to those above us, and even to ourselves. Drawing from Titus 2:7 and Craig Groeschel’s “inspect what you expect,” he calls leaders to model the values they preach, protect their culture, and never confuse grace with passivity. This is a challenge to set the bar high in both word and action—because leadership is permission, and you get to decide what you’re giving permission for.
