#131 | Excellence Is a Form of Worship

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/29

Excellence isn’t about being a perfectionist—it’s about being a steward. In this Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel explains that the way we work, serve, and show up is a direct reflection of who we worship. Whether it’s serving at church or handling everyday tasks, he emphasizes the power of “layering in the details,” treating even the small things with care because they reveal the character of our Father. When we give God our best instead of our leftovers, we express gratitude, reverence, and responsibility

#130 | Honor Opens Doors Hustle Never Will

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/26

Honor is often misunderstood in leadership. Mikel explains that honor is not flattery—it’s a posture that positions you to receive from others. Dishonor closes doors, while honoring leaders, mentors, and peers creates supernatural access. Pulling from Mark 6, where Jesus could perform few miracles due to dishonor, he teaches that what we honor, we draw from. This episode challenges listeners to restore honor where it has been lost and watch how God opens doors through humility and respect.00:00 –

2025/12/25

Recorded on Christmas Day, this episode is a pastoral reminder that Christmas is more than a tradition—it’s the moment Heaven stepped into history. Mikel shares how Jesus came wrapped not in status but in vulnerability and humility. God didn’t wait for the world to be ready; He entered it exactly as it was. Drawing from Matthew 1:23, he emphasizes “Emmanuel: God with us,” reminding listeners that God meets them in their questions, joy, and unfinished places. This episode encourages listeners to show

#128 | Boundaries Make Your Calling Possible

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/24

Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re wisdom. In this episode, Mikel shares how a lack of boundaries causes leaders to say yes to everything, making them ineffective at the things that matter most. He explains how Jesus Himself withdrew from the crowds to reset His boundaries and return to clarity and mission. Mikel introduces the “yes, but…” framework to communicate capacity with clarity. This episode calls listeners to identify where they need to draw a protective line for the sake of their

#127 | Commitment Precedes Clarity

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/23

Many leaders delay action because they want clarity first—but Mikel explains that clarity is usually unlocked through movement. He shares how God revealed the next steps in his business only after he committed and took the first ones. Through analogies like dark caves in video games, he illustrates that revelation happens step by step. This episode encourages leaders to stop waiting for perfect conditions and instead trust that God will illuminate the path as they walk it.00:00 – Welcome00:17 – A

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/22

The people around you shape the pace, quality, and direction of your growth. In this episode, Mikel expands on the previous episode’s conversation about becoming your future self—this time focusing on the external factors: your relationships. He explains why your circle determines your ceiling, how Jesus intentionally chose His inner circle, and why pruning people is often necessary for forward movement. He warns against isolation, encourages intentional community, and challenges leaders to lean

#125 | Your Future Requires a Different Version of You

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/19

In this episode, Mikel teaches that who you are today is not who you will need to be tomorrow. Every new season requires updated thinking, emotional maturity, stewardship, and habits. He shares personally how building businesses taught him that the mindset that got him “here” will not take him “there.” Drawing from Ephesians 4, he explains that transformation begins with identifying what needs to die so that the new version of yourself can live. This episode challenges listeners to envision their

#124 | Peace Is the Proof of Alignment

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/18

Peace isn’t the absence of problems—it’s the presence of alignment. In this episode, Mikel helps leaders discern when chaos is revealing something deeper: a misalignment between calling, decisions, and direction. He uses the analogy of a car shaking when it’s out of alignment and explains how even good opportunities may not carry God’s peace. Rooted in Colossians 3:15, he affirms that peace is meant to “rule” our hearts and guide our decisions. This episode encourages listeners to pause, evaluate

#123 | Big Breakthroughs Are Built on Boring Obedience

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/17

Transformation rarely happens in moments of hype—it happens through the slow burn of steady, repetitive obedience. In this episode, Mikel explains why the “boring” habits of prayer, Scripture, stewardship, and consistency often lead to the biggest breakthroughs. He shares how the gym taught him that variation doesn’t build strength—repetition does. Drawing from David’s shepherding season and the principles of The Slight Edge, he illustrates the compounding power of small, daily acts of faithfulness

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/16

High-capacity leaders often become dumping grounds for other people’s problems—but wisdom knows the difference between responsibility and overreach. In this episode, Mikel shares how saying “That’s not mine” can actually be one of the most spiritual, freeing, and obedient responses a leader can give. He explains how taking on battles God never assigned leads to burnout, distraction, and missed assignments. Drawing from Nehemiah 6:3, he highlights the courage to stay focused on the work God actually

#121 | Your Pace Is Preaching Something

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/15

Your pace is more than a productivity preference—it’s a discipleship tool. In this Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel explains that rushed, frantic leadership communicates survival mode, while an intentional, calm pace communicates trust in God’s timing. He shares personal stories of being corrected for moving too fast and how he learned that frantic leaders create frantic teams. Drawing from the example of Jesus, who moved with urgency but never with hurry, this episode challenges leaders to slow down, listen

#120 | You’re Not Exhausted—You’re Under-Nourished

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/12

After experiencing a day of low energy, Mikel realized his issue wasn’t fatigue—it was lack of nourishment. In this Daily Fox Fuel, he parallels this physical moment with spiritual truth: leaders often pour out endlessly without refilling intentionally. Drawing from Psalm 23:3, he reminds listeners that God restores our souls through scripture, prayer, worship, rest, and silence. Even Jesus withdrew regularly—not because He was weak, but because He was wise. This episode calls leaders to pause,

#119 | Stop Managing. Start Multiplying.

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/11

Many leaders spend their entire lives managing instead of multiplying. In this episode, Mikel shares vulnerably about his own struggle with staying in execution mode rather than stepping back to scale what he has built. He reminds listeners that managing feels safe, but multiplication requires trust. Rooted in Matthew 25:23, he teaches that God rewards those who multiply what they’ve been given—not those who bury it in fear. This fuel challenges leaders to evaluate where they’ve settled for

#118 | Identity Before Influence

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/10

We live in a world obsessed with influence, but God prioritizes identity long before platform. In this episode, Mikel opens up about his struggle with grounding identity in accomplishment rather than Christ. He shows that true influence flows from security—not performance, people’s opinions, or external success. Through Matthew 3:17, he reminds listeners that Jesus heard “This is my beloved Son” before doing any public miracle. This fuel equips leaders to root themselves in identity so they can lead

#117 | Your Habits Reveal Your Hope

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/09

Habits don’t lie—they reveal your hope, your beliefs, and your expectations about the future. In this fuel, Mikel teaches that faith produces action, while fear causes people to drift. He highlights that our daily decisions show whether we’re building toward the future God has called us to or settling for less. Using James 2:17, he emphasizes that faith without action is dead. This episode equips leaders to audit their habits, realign them with God’s calling, and make small changes that create big

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/08

Stagnant thinking leads to a stagnant life. In this Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel explains why new seasons require new mindsets—and why leaders who cling to old patterns end up blocking the very growth they’re praying for. He unpacks how familiarity, fear, and old assumptions prevent transformation, and reminds listeners that Romans 12:2 calls us to the daily renewal of our minds. This episode urges leaders to release limiting beliefs, embrace new perspectives, and think at the level their future

#115 | Hidden Seasons Shape Your Future

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/05

Influence is built in the shadows long before it’s ever seen in the spotlight. Mikel opens up about how God develops character, depth, and identity during seasons where no one is clapping. Obscurity is not punishment—it’s preparation. Rooted in Galatians 6:9, he reminds listeners that a harvest comes at the proper time if we do not give up. This episode calls leaders to cherish hidden seasons, lean into identity work, and trust God to promote at the perfect time.00:00 – Welcome00:17 – Hidden Seasons

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/04

Listening is one of the most powerful leadership tools available. Mikel explains that people follow leaders they feel heard by, not leaders who talk the most. Listening signals humility, value, and respect—and builds trust like nothing else. He unpacks James 1:19, reminding leaders to be quick to listen and slow to speak. This episode challenges listeners to put away distractions, make eye contact, and listen to understand, not respond.00:00 – Welcome00:17 – Listening Is Pure Leadership00:34 –

#113 | Comfort Is the Silent Killer of Calling

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/03

Comfort has a seductive voice—but its whispers lead to the death of destiny. Mikel teaches that most people don’t miss their calling because of sin or failure, but because comfort convinces them to choose easy over obedience. Growth never happens inside the comfort zone, and even God’s pruning is preparation for stronger fruit. Anchored in John 15:2, he encourages listeners to identify where they’ve settled and choose the stretch. This episode is a fiery wake-up call to embrace discomfort and step

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/02

Pride is subtle, sneaky, and destructive. Mikel shares how pride creeps into leadership through compliments, comparison, and comfort—and how quickly it accelerates collapse. The antidote is humility, which strengthens trust, expands influence, and keeps leaders teachable. Drawing from Proverbs 16:18, he warns that those who resist correction are headed toward destruction, while those who embrace teachability grow faster than ever. This episode calls listeners to self-awareness, repentance, and
