Description

Tired of flashy leadership that burns out fast? This conversation pulls back the curtain on why charisma alone can’t carry a ministry—or any mission—for the long haul. Daniel sits down with Norival to contrast the quick spark of personality with the steady fire of Christlike character. Together they unpack how integrity means aligning what we believe with how we live—in public and in private—and why transparency beats the “photoshopped” profiles our culture rewards.

You’ll hear practical steps to grow as a leader of character: embracing discipleship as the core pathway, learning to own mistakes and apologize, and cultivating the emotional discipline to think marathon, not sprint. They explore the “compound interest” of daily faithfulness, leading through crisis without image management, and the power of community accountability—because every David needs a Nathan. You’ll also get a window into a recent global gathering of Christian leaders that affirmed discipleship as the church’s most urgent work, and how ILI equips leaders to live and lead like Jesus.

If you want leadership that endures beyond the hype, this episode is your roadmap to building a foundation that lasts. Tune in to gain insights on discipleship, integrity, and resilient Christian leadership that advances the Kingdom over a lifetime.
