Episode 42: Gray Williams on the Simple Definition of Discipline, Finding Leadership Stability Through Inner Drive and Caring for Others, and Seeing All of Life as Training

November 15, 2024 • Jonathan Bryan

In this episode, Gray and I discuss the many different places and seasons of his life journey including his family farm, deployment in the Middle East, serving as a NC State Trooper, and pastoring in the local church. Through the lens of leadership, we discuss how all these different locations have been training to fulfill God’s call on his life and what these leadership lessons ultimately mean for all of us on our discipleship and leadership journeys.

Quotes for Notes:

“Discipline: Willing obedience to orders. Period.”

“You may be a driven leader and accomplish your mission greatly but what do you do with the fallout? Sometimes buy-in comes from caring for your team.”

“When they begin to see the sweat, labor, and the care that you’ve put into them and you’re doing it with them; in essence is that not training?”
