In this episode of Confident Christian Influence, Pam shares a practical, faith-forward guide to dealing with difficult people using the L.E.A.D. framework and the example of Jesus’ authority under control. You’ll learn how to lead like Jesus when tensions rise, protect your peace with healthy boundaries, and respond with clarity and self-control instead of reacting from frustration. We walk through L.E.A.D. — Lean In, Elevate Perspective, Accept Responsibility, Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons—to help you lean into God's word and instruction, consider the opportunity you have to impact the difficult persons and others, to respond appropriately, and do what God would have you to do. You’ll practice calm authority as your leadership strengthens relationships, reduces conflict, and builds trust at work, in ministry, and at home.

Pam covers the worth and value we all have, Biblical principles that must be upheld, and how to set healthy boundaries and detach from the drama while staying kind. If you’re ready to transform difficult interactions into opportunities for clarity, confidence, and influence, this episode gives you the tools to lead strong with grace and truth.

You are going to love this episode.

Get ready to identify the very excuse(s) you use to stop you short of Rising Up, Leading, and Impacting others at work, in your community, and at home. While it is easy to shrink back, it is more challenging to be bold and choose to be intentional to lead well. This is why so many never step into their God-given calling to grow into the leader they were created to become.

Don't let this be you. You can lean in and learn what you need to lead. You can elevate your perspective and recognize this is not about you, but about the lives you can impact. Accept the responsibility to lead and do it afraid and choose to be uncomfortable until your no longer are. Lastly, do the right thing for the right reason - to impact the lives of those around you.

Today, we need Confident Christian Influence more than ever before. It all begins with a simple yes and a willing heart to be obedient.

Are you intentional about your influence? You are influencing others. The question is what kind of influence do you have on others and how does it impact their life? What are you modeling for others?

Today let's dive into...

• What is influence?
• Why do I need influence?
• Do I have influence?

And a couple bonuses...

• How do I become intentional with my influence?
• What can God do with my obedience?

This is a great episode to keep on repeat. You have to remember that this is what is important. This is what matters. Let's stop wasting our time on so many things that simply do not matter, so we can focus on what does.

1. Our relationship with Jesus matters.

2. Our Christian influence matters because we may be the only Jesus someone ever sees.

Rise up. Lead like Jesus. Follow Him. Lead others to Him. Influence them for the Kingdom and make impact in their lives. And all God's people said, AMEN!
