Learn and master the biblical skills needed to improve your leadership health and effectiveness. Life is too short to not be laser-focused on becoming more healthy and effective in leadership. It's no fun for a leader to have a chaotic lifestyle and subpar results. You don't have to have either. God designed you for so much more.
This is the home of The Christian Leader™ Made Simple Podcast by Ryan Franklin. I provide a framework called The Christian Leader Blueprint that helps leaders find clarity in their life and leadership. It helps a person gain a better rhythm of life, see themselves more clearly, leverage their strengths, and produce more productive relationships. Ultimately, this helps increase effectiveness and enjoyment.

When God feels distant:
1. Establish a consistent relationship with scripture for clear, divine direction.
2. Seek mentorship or pastoral guidance regularly - no leader should be an island unto themselves.
3. When God feels distant, return to basic spiritual disciplines until clarity returns.
