Strength for the Journey and the Pilgrim Heart | Psalm 84:5
About This Video
“Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.” This teaching reframes life and leadership as a pilgrimage, not a pit stop. We’ll unpack how to trade self-sufficiency for God-dependence, run lighter by dropping unnecessary weights, and lead teams (and ourselves) from renewable strength. Expect practical rhythms for work and soul, alignment over mere activity, presence over pressure, and purpose that endures valleys and detours. Your greatest advantage isn’t an easy road, it’s God as your strength on the road. Takeaways -Pilgrim mindset, activity → alignment; destination shapes decisions. -Self-reliance exhausts; God-reliance renews (strength that scales). -Setbacks refine, they don’t define, blessing is “along the way.” -Lead with steady presence, peace over panic becomes cultural gravity. -Build rhythms, abide daily, travel with others, review purpose often. Subscribe for weekly teachings on the spiritual side of business and life, then pick one practice today to shift from striving to abiding. Where do you need to swap self-sufficiency for God-dependence this week?
