"Failure doesn't end the story; it begins the redemption." —Don Wood

Real leadership isn't about keeping your record clean; it's about how you rise when everything falls apart. The truth is, failure doesn't end your calling; it forges it. The men who lead with the most power are often the ones who've been broken and rebuilt by grace.

In this episode, Don talks about what it means to lead through failure; why God refines, not cancels; how confession brings healing; the slow work of restoration; and how scarred leaders become the most authentic ones. Listen for practical ways to turn your fall into the foundation of your influence.
