The Hope Podcast with Lina Abujamra

Leadership #11: Battling burnout

Ever feel like you’re burning out as a leader? Truth is, most leaders will get to some level of burnout at some point in their journey. Is there a better way to arrange our life rhythms so that, like Jesus, we don’t burn out, don’t want to quit, or find a way out of our responsibilities? Listen in and find hope for the season you’re in!

Leadership #10: Leadership in a world of COVID-19

How do we lead in a time of crisis? How do we take charge, respond, and move forward? In today’s podcast I want to encourage you to remain steady in your leadership by: (1) Maintaining focus when all around is confusion; (2) Choosing to believe when deliverance delays; (3) Leading with innovation when plans are changed.

Leadership #9: Facing rejection

If you’ve ever felt rejection by others, you’re in good company. Jesus felt it too, even from his own family and those closest to him.Rejection will inevitable come, but it doesn’t have to destroy us. The more secure we are in our vertical identity, the less affected we will be by criticism, various attacks, and rejection by others. 

Leadership #8: Overcoming failures

Nobody likes failure. Yet, none of us can escape it. But did you know that God is not expecting you to never fail, but he’s counting on using your failure for good?
As we’ll look at Peter’s story in John 21 today we’ll find out that: (1) God didn’t choose you because of your potential, but because of His; (2) Your failure is a means to an end; (3) Your failure is not the end of your story. 

Leadership #7: Redefining success

Did you know that fruitfulness and success is the very thing God wants for you? But what we consider success and how we measure success in the world is not quite the same as what God considers success.
Today’s Podcast will invite you to reconsider what success God’s way means. It will challenge you to move from a view of success that is outwardly measured in numbers, rankings, or NY Times bestseller lists, to one that is measured in the depth of your character, intimacy with the Lord, and obedience to his will.

Leadership #6: Leaders as disciples

A leader is a follower first. When we identify as disciples first and then lead out of that reality we will be less likely to misuse our God-given authority, less fearful of change, and more interested in following the Spirit’s guidance than giving in to doing what everyone else does or says.

Leadership #5: Three mistakes leaders make

It’s impossible to be in leadership and not make mistakes. But mistakes can turn into powerful lessons if we take the time to reflect and ask the Lord to show us what he wants to teach us and accomplish in us through them.
In today’s podcast I’ll share about the three biggest mistakes I found myself doing in my leadership journey, and hope to encourage you to grow as a leader in a way that glorifies God and expands his kingdom.

Leadership #4: Leadership as an identity

What comes to mind when you think of yourself as a leader? What traits are you known for in your leadership capacity? Who shapes your image of what a leader is? In this podcast we’ll talk about the call to Christian maturity, servanthood, brokenness, uncommon communion, and obedience that ought to shape our identity as leaders.
