“What is your one thing?”
Not the church answer. Not the leadership answer. The real one.
Ask yourself if any of these are your ONE THING that you live for….
Power, Approval, Comfort, Image, Control, Dependence, Achievement, Work, Family, Helping, Serving, etc.
Patrick opens up about the “one things” that quietly take God’s place—power, approval, comfort, image, control, achievement, even helping—and how each one has shaped his leadership at CCB and his life at home. Through honest stories, spiritual conviction, and a season of deep surrender, he reveals how God has been dismantling self‑reliance and rebuilding trust.
You’ll hear how recent leadership storms pushed him to the edge, how God whispered “Trust Me” when clarity felt out of reach, and why surrender isn’t weakness… it’s freedom.
If you’ve been gripping too tightly, planning too compulsively, or carrying weight you were never meant to hold, this episode will meet you right where you are.
Your one thing is shaping your life—whether you admit it or not. This conversation will help you name it… release it… and let the Spirit lead.
