From raising $30,000 in eight days to closing our church, we've experienced the highs and lows of life. We started off as successful trauma parents and church planters, but real life hit us hard. COVID changed everything and we found ourselves in a season of dysfunction. But now, in 2023, we're going back to the basics and asking ourselves, who are we trying to please? It's time for real wrestling and recognizing our true identities. As leaders, we've learned that performance isn't everything. We're ready to rise above the hardships and start fresh. #BackToBasics #RealWrestling #RisingAbove #NewBeginnings Re-defining Success with Justin and Trisha Davis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-afLMu7N5Y ------------------- Thanks for tuning in to the Stress Test Podcast.

Welcome to Stress Test! In this episode, Justin and Trisha discuss the importance of redefining success in leadership and how to establish a culture of healthy habits. They also talk about how to adjust expectations so that you don't keep rising to the occasion of performing rather than being authentic of who you are and God. Justin's most profound statement was "failure defines those that don't try again" and Trisha's was "allow your capacity to manage your ministry rather than your ministry to manage your capacity". We hope you're as encouraged by this episode as we are and that it will help strengthen you as a leader.
