Influence v. Authority: Are You Chasing The RIGHT One?

In this episode of Spiritual Leadership, Landon Schott delves into the critical difference between influence and authority in a spiritual context. He explains that while secular leaders often focus on gaining influence, spiritual leaders should prioritize authority—authority that comes from a relationship with God. Landon discusses various biblical references to illustrate the difference and emphasizes that true spiritual authority comes from obedience to God's voice. He also shares personal stories and practical advice on how to gain spiritual authority through asking God, serving faithfully, and fasting. The episode encourages leaders to seek a deeper relationship with God to move beyond just influence and become effective spiritual leaders.
