  S2 E2: Born for a Time Such as This: Christ-Centered Leadership with Stephen J. Lund

  Sep 22, 202631 min

  In this episode of Born to Lead , hosts Connie Sokol and Madison Lattin sit down with Stephen J. Lund to discuss identity, purpose, discipleship, and what it means to lead with Christ at the center. Stephen shares powerful insights on being “born for a time such as this” and reminds us that our influence is often found in the small, everyday moments—how we spend our time, what we fill our minds with, how we show up for the people around us, and how faithfully we walk the covenant path. They explore why confidence rooted in Christ is different from confidence rooted in social validation, how adults and young adults can work together to build the kingdom, and why we shouldn’t underestimate the role God has given each of us. Stephen encourages listeners to see their current season, relationships, and responsibilities as part of a much greater purpose. You were born for a time such as this. The question is: how will you choose to lead?
