We couldn’t hit the ball.

Not all night.

They had a pitcher throwing heat…

and we just couldn’t catch up.

One single.
That was it.

And still…

we almost won.

So we had to find another way.

We got aggressive.

Stealing bases.
Pushing the pace.
Creating pressure.

We stole home.
Forced mistakes.
Got runners in the pitcher’s head.

And it worked.

Until it didn’t.

I sent two runners home…

both got out at the plate.

Close plays.

But outs.

We lost…

8–7.

And after the game…

the questions started.

Was I too aggressive?
Did I cost us runs?
Should I have held them?

Or was that the only reason we even had a chance?

📖 Ecclesiastes 9:11 — “The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong… but time and chance happen to them all.”

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, we talk about:

• What it means to lead when nothing is working
• The risks you take when you have no easy option
• How pressure changes the game—and the leader
• And why sometimes… you can do everything right… and still lose

Because leadership isn’t about avoiding risk.

It’s about choosing it…

and living with the outcome.

If you’ve ever made a tough call and questioned it later…

this one’s for you.
