Faithfulness is more than consistency—it is leadership anchored in transcendence. From psychology and philosophy to theology and organizational research, this episode explores how faithfulness shapes meaning, relationships, and purpose. Aristotle wrestled with the eternal mover, Aquinas called faith a divine light, and today’s faith-led organizations describe themselves as families of God, balancing purpose and profit. Discover how faithfulness transforms leaders from the inside out and guides communities toward resilience and flourishing.

You’ll hear real-world examples and walk away with practical tools to embody patience without losing momentum.
