Speaker 1: What I to Doctor Ze? Hey, family, welcome back to
another episode of Living Boldly with Doctor Z, the place
where faith meets action, purpose meets passion, and boldness becomes
a way of life. Now, today's episode is for every
world changing listener that's listening, and yes that includes you,
my bone and my generational curse breakers. We're diving into
the bowld leader, owning your influence and inspiring others. Now,
leadership is not untitled. Okay, it's a mindset. So let
me start by saying this. You don't need a mic,
a pul pit, a CEO title, a professional title, either
you know or one thousand followers. To be a leader.
Leadership is how you show up, you know. It's how
you live your life, you know, how you love you know,
and how you serve, and also how you influence the
people around you, even we don't realize they're watching. And
that's the one that I love is because sometimes people
are watching but they don't say anything. They're being influenced
and inspired by you, but they don't say anything. So
you are a leader when you say I may not
have it all figured out, or but I'm showing up anyway,
you know. Or I'm leading with purpose and with integrity
and with faith. Now that's a true leader. Now I
have a scripture that you can stand on when it
comes to leadership. Okay. It's Matthew fifth chapter, fourteenth verse,
and it says you are the light of the world.
A city set on a heel cannot be hidden. That
means that you're shining, right, And it also means that
God expects you to shine, not to shrink, not to apologize,
and not to be in well, not to blend in,
you know, but to shine. So your leadership isn't about ego, okay,
It's about assignment, you know, and God has an assignment
for you and you'll know. And I like to talk
about that a lot here on the show, about being
in your purpose and following your journey that God has
set out and planned for you. And it's about owning
the influence that God has given you and using it
for impact. Okay, now I'm about to get into doctor
Z's bold leadership principles. Oh let's go bod all right now.
The first one I have for you, guys, is clarity
of purpose. You gotta know what to stand for. And
when you're rooted in purpose, you lead with direction, not confusion. Okay,
you just can't be leading people and you're confused. You know,
it just doesn't work that way. Number Two, you gotta
lead by example. Your actions preach louder than your words.
Every will. So you have to be consistent, and I
like to talk about that a lot too. Consistency is everything.
Oh my god, you gotta be consistent. Number three. Serve first,
shine second. Now, bold leaders lift up others. We're not
just climbing, we're pulling others up with us. And that's
what a true leader is. Someone that can actually grab
someone else by the arm or by the hand and
say Hey, come on, let's go. Let's let's do this.
We're gonna do it. Number four, stay humble, Well, let
me get that right, Stay humble, stay hungry. Never get
so high up that you forget where you come from,
and never stop growing. And that's a big thing for me.
Never forget where you came from and where it all started.
And that's what I'm all about. Man. Hey, if it
wasn't for my hometown of Huntsville, Texas, guess what, I
wouldn't even be here talking to you guys today. Okay,
all right. Number five, Trust God over popular opinion. Now,
leading body means following up God, you know, even when
it's not trending, you know, so just because it's cool
doesn't mean you should be doing it. So even if
it's not cool and people don't like it and they
don't agree with you, you still gotta follow God, you know,
even when you know, even if everyone stops dealing with
you and they won't even deal with you, will talk
to you and communicate with you anymore, and no one
even likes you like that, you know what, Hey, it
doesn't matter, because you have to trust God before you
can trust anybody else. So make sure that you don't forget.
Leading boldly means following God even when it's not popular.
All right, bold ones, I'm getting into now owning your voice.
I want to get into this because it's important to
be a leader, to own your voice. And let's talk
about influence. You know, some of you you are downplaying
your gifts because you don't feel ready. And let me
remind you that God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies
the call. So you have influence in your home, in
your workplace, in your communities, and yes, even online the
undefeated Internet. But I call it defeated because God is undefeated,
not the Internet. And no one ever in history that
any one of us ever known of in our human
life in existence, has defeated God, the most High Almighty,
no one. Now it's time to stop waiting for permission
to lead. Okay, you've already been called, so it's time bowl.
Speaker 3: Ones, bow.
Speaker 1: Now. I just want to say that bold leaders don't
play small. Oh no, we don't play small at all.
We do it big, boot. Playing small doesn't serve the world,
you know, and hiding your voice doesn't protect people and
it keeps them from receiving the light you carry. So
like I said before, you gotta shine bright. So today
I challenge you. You know, own your influence, be bold
and your convictions, speak truth with love and make room
at the table for others, and lead with grace, grit,
and last but not least, but first of all, lead
with God. Okay, Now let me get into my bold
leadership prayer for you guys. Okay, one moment. God, thank
you for calling us to be leaders in every space
we enter. Thank you for the influence you've entrusted to us.
God help us to lead with humility, with courage, and
with wisdom. Let our leadership reflect you in every way, bold,
loving and truth. In Jesus' name, I break today. Amen,
Now before I get out of her family, I just
want to say, you don't need to wait to be
more polished, more popular, or more perfect. You know what
are you waiting for? You already are called. God calls you.
It's a part of your plan. You are already chosen
and you are already equipped. So stand tall and walk
forward and lead boldly. Yep, God would want you to
do it. That's what he put you here for, and
he made a plan for you. So shine bright, regardless
of what others may say, or think or do to
try to persuade you to not okay. So this is
your girl, Doctor z Bow. Until next time, keep living boldly,
lady would love and changing the world one bowl step
at a time. Love you all and talk to you soon. Eachach,
each coach,
