As I learned while trying to drill holes into brick walls, a job that can be done gets frustrating fast when you try to do it with the wrong tools.
But the moment I used the right drill bit and the right screws turned into a one-on-one conversation with the Father about how He made the right tools for the job, and about how frustrating the Great Commission can be if we don't realize one critical truth:
You and I were made for this!

Got questions or comments? Text them to me! In a world overflowing with noise and polished personas, authentic leadership cuts through like a beacon of trust. In this episode, Paul unpacks why it's so powerful when leaders actually do what they say—how integrity, vulnerability, and consistency can create a kind of credibility that commands attention without shouting. Whether you lead a team, a church, or just your own life, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to lead with your whole, honest self. 🧭 What We Talk About: The “I’ll Go First” Principle: Why true leaders model what they expect. Consistency > Charisma: How everyday choices earn long-term trust. Owning Your Misses: How humility and honesty make you more credible, not less. The Jesus Blueprint: Leading with truth, not pretense—and why that still changes everything. Living the Message: Why people don’t need another highlight reel; they need an honest example. 📱 Social Media Snippets: Use these for sharing across platforms like Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, or LinkedIn: 💡 “People don’t need perfect leaders. They need honest ones.” 🎧 New episode on the power of authentic leadership. #LeadWell #AuthenticityWins When your life speaks louder than your stage, people don’t just respect you—they trust you. 🎙️ Listen to When Words Walk wherever you get your podcasts. ✋ Saying “we value rest” means nothing if you never take a day off. Leadership begins with living the message. #LeadershipMatters #WalkTheTalk Your credibility isn’t built in your highlight reel. It’s built in your Tuesdays. 🔥 New episode on the superpower of real leadership. Jesus didn’t just speak truth—He lived it, washed feet, and bore the cross. That’s the blueprint. #JesusWay #AuthenticLeadership ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Thanks for listening to The Reluctant Leader Podcast with Paul Jenkins !

Got questions or comments? Text them to me! The Bible has a lot to say about staying alert and keeping watch.

Got questions or comments? Text them to me! 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. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Thanks for listening to The Reluctant Leader Podcast with Paul Jenkins !

Got questions or comments? Text them to me! Does God ever seem distant when you ask him about things that really matter to you? Of course, he does. But the good news is that you aren't alone! Anyone who has ever spent any amount of time in prayer has felt that way, and often, the more desperate we are, the longer he seems to take.

Got questions or comments? Text them to me! We've all been there. We've gone public about something amazing that God has done in our lives, churches, businesses, or ministries only to wake up the next day and find ourselves wondering if it really happened? In this episode, we can take comfort in the fact that the people of God also lived in the "now and not yet" places we find ourselves. Yes, God had brought back the captives (Psalm 126:1), and yet in Psalm 126:4 they asked Him to do it again. Or did they?

Got questions or comments? Text them to me! Sometimes the process of being restored to joy is just that ... a process. That process can be daunting and overwhelming if we think it's about being the perfect leader or the perfect person, but when we accept as fact that the Lord has restored us to health, then the process can become a celebration of all that the Lord has done to this point. No more hiding or pretending. No more masks or fake smiles. "Here I raise my Ebeneezer" because thus far, to this point in the process, the Lord has been my help. And that means, He'll continue to be from this point forward, too. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Thanks for listening to The Reluctant Leader Podcast with Paul Jenkins !
