## Resource

What happens when leaders become trapped by their past failures, distracted by yesterday’s successes, or discouraged by present opposition? In Episode 3 of “Essentials in Leadership,” Duane Sheriff teaches the “one thing” principle found in the apostle Paul’s words: forget those things which are behind, reach forward to those things ahead, and press toward the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Forgetting the past does not mean spiritual amnesia but rather learning to look back with a redemptive eye—seeing God’s mercy, grace, and transforming power rather than guilt, shame, or condemnation. Many leaders sabotage their future by remaining stuck in past mistakes or former seasons of success. This message challenges believers to let go of what is behind, embrace God’s purpose ahead, and persevere through hardship, opposition, and spiritual battles with unwavering focus on Jesus. True leadership requires single-minded devotion, endurance, and a continual pursuit of intimacy with God above all else.
