Скачать или смотреть Ep 8: Following God’s Will in Business Decisions

What do you do when professional success, clear plans, and proven strategies are no longer enough?

In this episode of The Power of OR Podcast, Brad Hawkins and Jim Brangenberg talk with entrepreneur and fractional executive Jerry Nichols about navigating leadership through seasons of growth, disruption, and surrender. Jerry shares his journey through education, corporate leadership, consulting, small business ownership, and ultimately launching Lighthouse Power Business, where he now serves middle-market companies with fractional executive leadership (think: renting a C-Suite exec for a season).

Along the way, the conversation tackles real questions business leaders face:

How do you discern when God is asking you to wait versus push forward?

What happens when self-reliance quietly replaces surrender?

Why does God sometimes ask leaders to shut things down before rebuilding?

How do failure, pruning, and uncertainty shape stronger leadership?

What does it look like to treat your work as ministry – not separate from faith, but integrated with it?

Jerry offers hard-won wisdom on leadership capacity, time stewardship, and why growth often exposes the limits of our competence. He also reflects on learning to hold success loosely, trust God with outcomes, and follow Him one step at a time, even when the path feels unclear.

This episode is especially encouraging for entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals who want to honor God in their work while navigating pressure, transition, and big decisions.

Listen now for a candid conversation about faith, leadership, and saying yes to God’s direction – one step at a time!
