In this powerful message, Bishop Omar Thibeaux teaches that envy is not only destructive — it is contagious.

1 Samuel 18:12–16 (ESV) In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall shares three powerful lessons on leadership from the life of David. He explains that when God's presence is upon a person, it brings success, but it can also stir fear in others, especially those who feel threatened by that success. Pastor Sumrall highlights that success often attracts opposition, not because of failure, but because of growth and progress. Leaders must be prepared for this reality and remain grounded in God's calling rather than the reactions of others. He also emphasizes that true leadership is built through connection with people. David was loved because he lived, worked, and fought alongside those he led. Real leaders do not isolate themselves but stay close to the people they serve. As you watch this episode, be encouraged to pursue God's presence, remain steady through opposition, and lead with humility by walking closely with the people God has entrusted to you. ----- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon

Later, she transitioned into the entrepreneurial side of beauty, leading privately backed companies and guiding brands through transformation, acquisition, and growth—including her tenure as CEO of RéVive.

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Stephen Mays, a leadership strategist, speaker, and author, about his innovative framework known as the Power of Three. Stephen's journey into leadership began at the Naval Academy, where he learned the importance of clarity and effective leadership through his experiences in military and civilian roles. We discussed the common misconception that leadership is solely about personality and style, highlighting that true leadership is about influencing others to achieve more collectively than they could individually. Stephen emphasized the critical foundation of leadership, which consists of honesty, courage, and talent. He explained that catastrophic leadership failures often stem from a lack of these foundational elements rather than a deficiency in talent. Stephen also addressed the challenges leaders face, particularly in the nonprofit sector, where unmet expectations can lead to significant issues. He stressed the importance of clear communication and providing the necessary resources for team members to succeed. As we wrapped up our conversation, Stephen shared insights on the achievement level of leadership, which involves assisting, inspiring, and depending on others. He underscored that effective leadership is about making others successful and recognizing that credit and blame are part of the leader's responsibility.
