The Reluctant Leader Podcast with Paul Jenkins

Written by: Paul Jenkins
  • Summary

  • Throughout the years, I've come to believe two truths: one, everyone leads someone, and two, no one really feels qualified to lead anyone. Add the pressure put on us by culture to have all the answers in a world full of confusion, and you've got a recipe for reluctant leaders.

    Thankfully, when it comes to leading in the Bible and in life, the most qualified aren't always the most obvious. This podcast is a conversation for all of us who want to lead well but never feel like we are. New episodes are released on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month.

  • TRLP 044: Discover the Power of Repetition and Why The Right Habits Matter So Much
    Jan 27 2025

    Too many of us are so addicted to the rush of something new that we've accepted that anything that gets repeated has to become boring or stale. But repetition is only a bad thing when we're repeating bad things! I repeat: repetition is only a...

    You get the idea.

    So let's change the narrative, and get busy repeating what needs to be repeated. As you'll find out in this episode of The Reluctant Leader Podcast, some of the best things in life are born with the power of repetition.

  • TRLP 043: How to Do Hard Things, Recover, and then Do More Hard Things
    Jan 14 2025

    I've always been motivated by JFK's "we do them because they are hard" speech, and clearly, so was our country because we did get to the moon (regardless of what conspiracy theorists might think). But what happens after we've done hard things and we need time to rest and recover? Maybe more importantly, how do we find the strength to get back up and do another hard thing?

    In this episode, Paul reminds us that while we may need to step back from time to time, we were never made to shrink back from hard things.
