Keys to Wisdom: Self-Control

Control isn’t a bad word—it’s a biblical principle of wise leadership.

You control the budget, control hiring, control systems and processes in your organization. Some of us are more geared to control than others. (Personally, I’m wired NOT to control).

Experience taught me a lack of control in the areas that need it create chaos and dysfunction in ways you could never imagine, until it hits.

If you’ve struggled with over-control or chaos in your ministry, this teaching will give you clarity on what to control (and what to release) so you can lead with confidence, integrity, and peace.
