In this deeply honest and faith-filled episode of Entrusted to Lead, Danita Cummins invites you to pause and ask: Whose version of success am I chasing? If you've ever felt exhausted trying to keep all the plates spinning — leading a team, running a business or ministry, making a difference — this message is for you.
Danita unpacks what it means to commit your plans to the Lord (Proverbs 16:3) and reminds us that God’s version of success is not rooted in performance, productivity, or public approval. It’s about peace, obedience, and faithfulness. From the kitchen table to boardroom decisions, this episode brings clarity to a truth we all need: Your soul’s success story is unfolding on God’s timeline, not the world’s.
Scripture Anchor:
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” – Proverbs 16:3
