Suffering is never easy. But what if it’s an invitation to trust God more deeply?
This episode on Mentored, we're talking about stewarding our pain and finding hope, even when it’s hard. How can suffering refine, not define, your leadership?

Patrick didn’t stumble into impact—he planned for it. In Lead Like a Saint, I write about how Patrick understood strategy: knowing when to act, when to wait, and where to invest his limited energy. He didn’t waste time chasing every opportunity; he chose the right ones.
Here’s the takeaway: give yourself the gift of strategic time.
Most leaders burn themselves out rushing into good activities that quietly drain their time, energy, and money. Strategic leaders pause, think, pray—and then move with purpose.
Impact follows intention. Not hurry.
If you don’t enjoy people, please, do us all a favor, don’t go into leadership! Choose another career stream. Everyone will be better off.
