Why Jesus Waited – And Why Great Leaders Don’t Always Rush

The Lion's 10 with Chris Moore

📺 Why Great Leaders Don’t Rush: Jesus, Lazarus, and the Power of Patience | Lead in 10 with Chris Moore
What if your next leadership breakthrough doesn't require speed—but stillness?
In this episode of Lead in 10, Chris Moore unpacks a surprising leadership lesson from John 11, where Jesus delays visiting his sick friend Lazarus. Instead of rushing to fix the crisis, Jesus waits—on purpose. His delay sets the stage for something far greater: resurrection instead of relief.
If you’re a leader under pressure to make a fast move, this episode will help you:
✅ Embrace strategic waiting instead of impulsive reacting
✅ Invite God’s timing into your leadership decisions
✅ Recognize when a delay is actually divine alignment
✅ Reframe slow seasons as preparation for something greater
You don’t have to move fast to make an impact. Sometimes, waiting is your most powerful move.
