In Podcast Episode 111, “Godly Leaders Must Choose Wisely,” Kim discusses the importance of leading others in making thoughtful, wise decisions. Godly leaders are not impulsive, but pursue an ongoing, intimate relationship with the Lord and seek His wisdom daily. Also, pray for God to raise up more leaders fully committed to His will and ways. 





The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 14:24-52 with the key verses 36:



 



36 Then Saul said, “Let’s chase the Philistines all night and plunder them until sunrise. Let’s destroy every last one of them.”



His men replied, “We’ll do whatever you think is best.”



But the priest said, “Let’s ask God first.”
