You said yes to God. You stepped into leadership. You obeyed when it was uncomfortable. So why does it still feel like your influence hasn't caught up?

If you've ever wondered why obedience hasn't automatically produced impact, this conversation is for you.

Many Christian leaders assume that faithfulness guarantees followership. But Scripture reveals something deeper. Obedience positions you, but trust creates influence.

In this teaching, we unpack the internal tension every faith based leader eventually faces. You can have the title, the calling, and even the confirmation from God, yet still feel like people are hesitant to fully lean into your leadership.

Drawing from 1 Peter 5:3, Romans 13:1, Hebrews 13:7, James 4:6, and Proverbs 3:5 to 6 in the ESV, you'll discover why authority is assigned by God but confirmed by character.

You'll learn how consistent presence builds credibility, how humility strengthens spiritual authority, and why trusting God deeply is the foundation for influencing people effectively.

If you've been leading from obedience but feeling frustrated by thin influence, this will help you shift from striving for validation to building trust intentionally.

You'll walk away with practical action steps to strengthen your character, deepen your presence, cultivate humility, and lead with confidence rooted in Christ.
