#121 | Your Pace Is Preaching Something

Episode Summary

People don’t just watch what you do—they watch how you do it. In this episode, Mikel reveals how your pace communicates trust, leadership, and spiritual posture.

Episode Notes

Your pace is more than a productivity preference—it’s a discipleship tool. In this Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel explains that rushed, frantic leadership communicates survival mode, while an intentional, calm pace communicates trust in God’s timing. He shares personal stories of being corrected for moving too fast and how he learned that frantic leaders create frantic teams. Drawing from the example of Jesus, who moved with urgency but never with hurry, this episode challenges leaders to slow down, listen to the Holy Spirit, and lead from grounded confidence rather than chaos.

Episode Transcription

Mikel teaches that people don’t just watch what you do—they watch how you do it. A frantic, hurried pace communicates survival mode, uncertainty, and lack of trust, while a calm and intentional pace communicates confidence in God’s timing. He shares how a mentor once told him, “Slow down—where’s the fire?” and how that moment reshaped his leadership. Jesus moved with purpose but never in panic. Your pace is discipling your team whether you realize it or not.
