Description

In this episode, we explore a powerful leadership moment from John 21: the disciples, weary after a long night of fishing, caught nothing—until Jesus told them to cast their net on the other side. That small shift—just a few feet—transformed failure into overflowing success.

For leaders today, the message is clear: God’s guidance often comes not in sweeping changes, but in simple, obedient shifts. You don’t always need a new plan, team, or strategy. Sometimes you just need to hear His voice and take one faithful step in a slightly different direction.

Ron Kelleher unpacks key leadership insights from this encounter:

  • Why our expertise isn’t enough when it’s not aligned with God’s direction.
  • How obedience—even when it seems pointless—can unlock unexpected provision.
  • Why small shifts in response to God's voice often lead to the biggest breakthroughs.

This episode challenges leaders to consider: What if your next breakthrough isn’t far off—it’s just on the other side of the boat?

You’ll walk away with five practical steps to apply today and reflective questions to help align your leadership with God’s wisdom. Don’t miss this opportunity to rethink what success looks like when you follow the voice of the Master.
