#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.

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.

#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

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

#114 | Listening Is Leadership

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

#111 | Gratitude Is the Cure for Burnout

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/12/01

Burnout doesn’t always come from doing too much—sometimes it comes from forgetting what a privilege it is to do what we do. In this Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel shares vulnerably about how gratitude fuels purpose and protects the heart from exhaustion. When we lose sight of what’s good, even blessings begin to feel like burdens. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:18, he reminds us that gratitude is a command and a recalibration tool for the soul. This episode invites you to shift from pressure to purpose,

#110 | Focus Determines Your Future

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/11/28

Focus is the most valuable resource a leader has. Mikel shares how distraction drains momentum, misaligns priorities, and steals the energy needed to build what matters. He emphasizes that focus isn’t about doing less, but about doing what matters most—and refusing to treat everything like an emergency. Rooted in Proverbs 4:25–26, he challenges leaders to cut distractions, delegate wisely, and fix their gaze on the assignments that move the needle.00:00 – Welcome00:17 – Focus Is Your Greatest

#109 | Faith Doesn’t Wait for Proof

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/11/27

Faith doesn’t need proof to move. Mikel explains that obedience always precedes outcomes—Abraham left without knowing the destination, and Peter stepped out before the water held him. Drawing from Hebrews 11:8, he reminds us that most miracles in Scripture happen after someone takes a step, not before. This episode calls you to stop delaying obedience and take the faith-filled step God has been prompting you to make.00:00 – Welcome00:17 – Faith Doesn’t Need Proof00:41 – Faith Moves When God

#108 | Teachability Is Your Superpower

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/11/26

Teachability unlocks everything. Mikel emphasizes that leadership is not about titles or intelligence—it’s about staying humble enough to learn. When leaders stop receiving input, their development decays. Anchored in Proverbs 12:1 (“whoever hates correction is stupid”), he teaches that correction isn’t an attack but an investment. This episode will push you to embrace feedback, stay coachable, and grow faster by welcoming the voices God placed around you.00:00 – Welcome00:17 – Teachability Unlocks

#107 | Not Every Open Door Is From God

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/11/25

Just because a door is open doesn’t mean God opened it. Mikel warns leaders about the cultural obsession with “more”—more opportunities, more platforms, more people—and reveals that the enemy can use good things that aren’t God things to derail purpose. Through his own story of stepping through the wrong door, he emphasizes the importance of obedience as the filter for every opportunity. Rooted in 1 Samuel 15:22, this episode equips you to ask: “Is this obedience or ego?”00:00 – Welcome00:17 – Hot

#106 | Who You Are in Private Is Who You Really Are

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/11/24

Real leadership is formed in the secret place. Mikel explains that character is shaped when no one is watching—not on the stage, but in the unseen habits, choices, and disciplines of everyday life. What you repeatedly do in private eventually shows up publicly. Rooted in Luke 16:10, he reminds leaders that God promotes based on private faithfulness, not public applause. This episode calls you to strengthen one private habit before asking for a bigger platform.00:00 – Welcome00:17 – The Secret Place

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/11/21

Chaos only grows with you. Mikel explains that messy systems, unclear workflows, and inconsistent habits don’t magically improve when an organization scales—they intensify. From foundation cracks to disordered calendars, he warns that unmanaged chaos becomes catastrophic under pressure. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 14:40, he highlights that God moves through order, not confusion. If you want overflow, build order first. This episode is a call to clean up the cracks now so God can trust you with

#104 | Emotion Is Data, Not Direction

Daily Fox Fuel ·

2025/11/20

Emotions matter—but they should never be the thing steering the ship. In this Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel opens up about the challenge of acknowledging deep feelings without allowing them to dictate decisions. Emotional responses can be powerful indicators of what’s happening inside us, but they can also be momentary, misleading, or magnified. Rooted in Proverbs 16:32, he teaches that true strength isn’t force—it’s restraint. This episode equips leaders to process feelings, pair them with truth, and make
