📺 The One Thing Holding You Back | Leadership Wake-Up Call from Jesus | Lead in 10 with Chris Moore

What if the only thing keeping you from the life and leadership God designed for you—is something you’re not willing to let go?

In this episode of Lead in 10, Chris Moore unpacks the powerful encounter between Jesus and the rich young ruler from Mark 10. This isn’t just a story about money—it’s about surrender. Jesus identified the “one thing” standing in the way, and He lovingly asked the man to release it.

You’ll discover:

Why surrender—not success—is the starting point of true leadership

How even good things (comfort, status, security) can quietly become barriers

The difference between following rules and following Jesus

Practical steps to identify and release what’s holding you back

If you’re a leader stuck in a season of spiritual stagnation, this episode offers clarity and challenge. What would happen if you finally let go?
