86 - Moses Leads in the Exodus

In this episode, we explore Moses’s leadership journey as he led the Israelites out of Egypt and towards the Promised Land. Drawing insights from Charles Swindoll’s book Moses, a Man of Selfless Dedication, we delve into the qualities that made Moses a remarkable leader and how these lessons apply to modern leadership.

Obedience to God’s Call: Moses’ initial reluctance transformed into unwavering obedience to God. This segment discusses the importance of being open to guidance and making tough decisions, even when they are uncomfortable.
Listening with Sensitivity: We highlight Moses’ ability to listen deeply to God, a crucial trait for effective leadership. This involves discerning the right path amidst noise and distractions, leading to better decision-making.
Consecration and Integrity: The episode emphasizes the significance of internal and external purification in leadership. Moses’ call for consecration reminds leaders to align their actions with their values.
Respect and Reverence: Moses’ respect for God’s presence is explored, illustrating the importance of humility and acknowledgment of higher purposes in leadership. This approach ensures a grounded and ethical leadership style.
Facing Adversity with Perseverance: Moses’ resilience in the face of constant challenges from the Israelites is a key lesson in perseverance. Leaders can learn to endure tough times with grace, leading to eventual success.

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
