In Episode 08 of Providence Threads, Toby Gruppen sits down again with Pastor George DeJong to explore biblical leadership through the lens of Scripture and lived experience.
Leadership is more than influence — it is the willingness to take responsibility.
Through the imagery of ancient fields, wilderness journeys, and the altar of sacrifice, Pastor George challenges us to consider:
- Are we listening to God’s voice or only our own?
- What “corners” of our lives belong entirely to Him?
- Are we helping others grow — or preventing their maturity by rescuing them?
A deep, reflective conversation on discipleship, maturity, and the shaping work of the wilderness.
Season 2 focuses on multiplying disciples, leaders, ministries, and churches — so that more people may know the good news and peace of Jesus Christ.
Listen. Reflect. Share.
