Episode 8 of The Greater Call, Mark Immelman welcomes chart-topping gospel artist Josh Baldwin to unpack powerful leadership lessons through the lens of biblical heroes. From Gideon’s hidden courage to Moses’ reluctant obedience, they explore how God often uses the unqualified to accomplish the extraordinary.
