The enemy is relentless—doing everything possible to steal, kill, and destroy what matters most in your life. It’s time to fight back.

Early in my journey, Pastor Joby Martin shared seven simple words that changed everything: “Do whatever He tells you to do.”

Simple? Yes. Easy? Not at all. Because truly knowing what God wants often feels overwhelming. Why?

Here’s the hard truth: many churches focus on getting people baptized and adding members but fall short when it comes to walking with believers afterward. For years, that was my reality—checking boxes, going through motions, and missing the core ingredient of spiritual growth: discipleship.

We often confuse fellowship with discipleship. Fellowship is fun. Discipleship is hard. It requires accountability, obedience, and intentionality. But here’s why it matters: you can’t lead well if you don’t follow well. Before leading others, every Christian leader must learn to follow Christ through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

This resource is built around that truth. Inside, you’ll find 7 sections designed to strengthen every area of your life:

Protect the Mind

Embrace Stewardship

Cultivate Marriage

Tune the Body

Pursue Careers with Integrity

Raise Godly Children

Embrace Spiritual Leadership

These principles are drawn from real experiences—wins, failures, and everything in between—shared with honesty and purpose so you can apply them in your own leadership journey.

As you go through this, I challenge you:

Find your Paul (a mentor) and learn from him.

Find your Timothy (someone to disciple) and invest in his growth.

True transformation happens when intentionality meets obedience. Take notes, apply these truths, and extend grace to yourself. Real change takes time—but if you stay faithful, the impact will reach far beyond what you can see.

Hold your head high, lean on the Spirit, and prepare to unleash the Lion Within.
