For the person everyone relies on.
You're the one who steps up, figures things out, and can be trusted when something matters. That's a strength. But just because you can carry something doesn't mean it's yours.
Leadership is heavy. Entrusted to Lead is a conversation about the weight of a consequential life — responsibility, identity, leadership, faith, family, and the cost of being the capable one. Some things are worth carrying. The wisdom is knowing which ones are yours.
Host Danita Cummins is an author, speaker, veteran, military spouse, and three-time founder who spent nearly thirty years carrying things — some she was called to, some she picked up because she could. She's the author of Promise Over Purpose.
Each season explores a dimension of the journey:
No productivity hacks, no quick wins. Just honest reflection, practical frameworks and Scripture-rooted wisdom for people carrying real weight. If you want to lead well without losing yourself, this podcast is for you.
New episodes the first and third Thursdays, 15–30 minutes. Mostly solo; occasionally a conversation.
New here?
Start with "Clarity Is Not Certainty — And Why That Changes Everything."
