Episode 22: The Kingdom Principle Of Leadership

Imagine a CEO in the marketplace, striving for success but gradually losing touch with the heart of leadership. 

One day, overwhelmed by stress and disconnected from his purpose, he has a life-changing realization—success in God’s kingdom looks vastly different from worldly success. 

This episode of the As In Heaven podcast expounds upon the transformative power of the Kingdom 5 (K-5) leadership model, which redefines success not by achievement, but by a spirit-led life rooted in love, humility, and service. 

Join us as we unpack what it means to lead like Jesus, moving beyond human effort to leadership empowered by divine alignment.
