Not every burden is your assignment. In this episode, Mikel teaches leaders how to release what God never asked them to carry.
High-capacity leaders often become dumping grounds for other people’s problems—but wisdom knows the difference between responsibility and overreach. In this episode, Mikel shares how saying “That’s not mine” can actually be one of the most spiritual, freeing, and obedient responses a leader can give. He explains how taking on battles God never assigned leads to burnout, distraction, and missed assignments. Drawing from Nehemiah 6:3, he highlights the courage to stay focused on the work God actually called you to do. This is a call to steward your lane—not everyone else’s.

Mikel shares that high-capacity leaders often take on responsibilities that aren’t theirs. He explains how wisdom recognizes the line between responsibility and overreach, and how every unnecessary yes becomes a no to something God actually assigned. Delegation isn’t laziness—it’s stewardship. Like Nehemiah, leaders must refuse distractions and stay focused on their true assignment.
