One Part Lion, One Part Lamb — Stephen Scoggins on Breaking Ceilings Through Surrender. (S5E15)
The Shepherd at Work
Wednesday, April 8, 2026 - 25 minutes
This episode will stop you in your tracks.
Krystal sits down with Stephen Scoggins for a conversation that cut straight to the core of leadership and identity—as he unpacked the meaning behind an identity most leaders have never considered:
One part lion.
One part lamb.
Strength and surrender.
Power and humility.
Authority and compassion.
And what happens when those are not integrated?
You hit a ceiling.
Stephen challenges listeners with a simple but confronting exercise:
Close your eyes and ask yourself—
“Is there hidden weight I have yet to express?”
That question alone begins to expose the fears, insecurities, and internal pressure that often drive striving, burnout, and misalignment.
Because here’s the truth:
You can scale revenue.
You can scale influence.
But you cannot scale dysfunction.
Stephen shares the difference between Kingdom authority and worldly power—and why so many high-capacity leaders are operating from the wrong one.
If you’re hitting a ceiling in your business or leadership…
It may not be a strategy problem.
It may be time to drop to your knees and look within.
Stephen’s story is as powerful as his message.
From homelessness…
to building multiple companies, including one reaching nine figures…
to a successful exit in 2023…
But the real breakthrough came when God revealed something deeper:
He had been leading too much like Saul.
And was being called to become more like David.
That shift changed everything.
Today, Stephen equips leaders to integrate courage with humility, strength with surrender—so they can build lives and businesses that don’t just grow… but last.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why high-capacity leaders carry invisible weight—and what to do about it
- The difference between power and authority in leadership
- How misalignment, not incompetence, leads to burnout
- What it means to lead from integration, not performance
- Why surrender is often the key to your next level
Stephen is humble.
He is fierce.
He is unstoppable.
And this message will challenge you.
