From Focus to Freedom: How to Lead with Clarity and Confidence
Do you ever feel scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of fear and striving? You’re not alone. We often juggle countless responsibilities — at work, in our homes, and in our communities. But here’s the truth: we don’t have to lead from chaos. Let me rephrase that – we shouldn’t be leading from a place of chaos. Why? Because we can lead from clarity, confidence, and freedom when we anchor ourselves in biblical principles.
It sounds easy. But it’s not. Distractions are everywhere — from phone notifications to shopping ads to comparison and to negative thoughts. Instead of being fixed and focused on pursing God’s plan for us and fulfilling His purposes – we are bouncing all over the place and forgetting to make the main thing the main thing. Instead, we make our busyness, our overwhelm, and our chaos the main thing.
Then there are myths we believe. Well, let’s call them what they are – lies. We have bought into the lie that we are too busy, too old, not equipped, not ready, sure to fail, not worthy, and too tired from keeping it all going to be able to consider stepping into our God-given calling. Oh the lies that we believe.
We are so distracted and disillusioned that we don’t recognize these as tactics from our enemy. You see, Satan doesn’t have to make us bad, he just keeps us busy and distracted from spending time in God’s word and choosing to walk in obedience to Him.
But there is a way off this hamster wheel.
1. Build your faith muscle – It takes intention, practice, and repetition.
a. Be intentional to get in the Word consistently
b. Practice journaling and memorizing scripture
c. Repeatedly spend time in prayer and invite Jesus into your quiet time.
2. Fix your Focus – We need to leave distraction behind and become focused.
a. Identify your distractions and overcome them
b. Name where you want your focus to be.
c. Be intentional to focus on what matters and watch your influence grow.
3. Walk in Freedom – The Truth empowers us to live and lead in freedom.
a. Learn to be a myth buster and stop believing the lies.
b. Biblical truth brings clarity, confidence, and peace.(Ahhh.)
c. Freedom empowers you to lead boldly and authentically.
In the Confident Christian Influence podcast, I’ve been walking through a three-part series on Faith, Focus, and Freedom. Today, I want to highlight the last two episodes:
🎙 Episode 186: Feeling Distracted? Here’s How to Shift Your Focus and Strengthen Your Leadership
In this episode, I share three simple strategies to help you shift from scattered to solution-focused so you can improve your mindset and lead with intention.
🎙 Episode 187: The Myths That Keep You Stuck and the Truth About Freedom
In this episode, I uncover 7 lies we often believe and the truth about freedom in Christ that sets us free to lead with clarity and confidence.
👉 This episode drops tomorrow.
Why This Matters for You
There is a better way. We can stop living like the world and start living the way God intends. His way is best. We, like Eve, think we know best and are making decisions that have great consequences for our family, our community, and those who God has placed in our sphere of influence.
What would happen if you walked in Confident Christian Influence every day? Whose life would be impacted? How might God use you.
If this resonates with you, I would love to help you take the steps God is asking you to take. Let’s chat. God may have connected us for a reason. He has a plan and a purpose for you. It’s time to rise up!
Faith lays the foundation, focus keeps us steady, and freedom empowers us to lead authentically. When you build your leadership on these biblical principles, you’re not just managing tasks — you’re making an eternal impact.
I am praying for you
