30. What Do Gardening and Leadership Have in Common?

Hey, Friend!

If you are listening to this episode when it publishes, we are in the beginning of May.  I live in Minnesota, and we have winter for far too long.  When May rolls around, you hear people start talking about how anxious they are to get out and start growing things…   whether it be flowers or vegetable gardens, spring brings about a hunger to see new beautiful life and color.   This got me thinking about the metaphor of gardening as it applies to leadership, and more specifically, how it applies to Godly leadership.

Before you can ever start the process of growing your garden, you…the gardener, need to make sure you have prepared yourself for the work.  If you try to plant a garden without having done any study of the task at hand, you may produce some fruit, but it will pale in comparison of what you can produce having the knowledge and tools to do the work well.

And, if you just take your seeds and you show up to your plot of dirt and scatter the seeds across the top, what are the odds that you are going to have a beautiful garden that produces delectable fruit?  Not very good odds there…right…?  No.

Producing fruit requires that you dedicate the time and effort to take the appropriate steps to prepare the soil and nourish the seedlings.

Tune in as we talk a bit more about gardening and its application to everyday life and leadership…

 

I hope this episode blesses you and that you will continue to join me on this journey toward balance, peace, and freedom to live the abundant life you were called to.

Xoxo,

Tanya
