You can’t lead clearly when you’re carrying offense. In this episode, Mikel unpacks how offense poisons your perspective, drains your energy, and keeps you from leading with freedom and clarity.
Offense is one of the greatest enemies of effectiveness. In this powerful Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel challenges leaders to stop rehearsing who wronged them and start releasing what’s been holding them back. He explains that offense isn’t something others “do” to us—it’s something we allow to take root in our hearts. Quoting Ephesians 4:31–32, he reminds us that forgiveness is not a weakness but a weapon, and living unaffended doesn’t make you naïve—it makes you free. This episode will inspire you to let go of bitterness, reclaim your energy, and lead with compassion and clarity.

Offense clouds your judgment and poisons your perspective. Mikel reminds us that offense isn’t something someone does to you—it’s something you choose to carry. Living unaffendable doesn’t mean you’re naïve; it means you’re free.
He references Mel Robbins’ Let Them theory and Ephesians 4:31–32, urging us to release bitterness and forgive others as Christ forgave us. Forgiveness restores energy, clarity, and compassion—the ingredients for effective leadership. Today’s challenge: who do you need to release so you can lead with a clear heart again?
