Essentials in Leadership | Episode 11 | Golden Rule

<p>What happens when hurt, disappointment, and unfair treatment begin poisoning our hearts and relationships? In Episode 11 of "Essentials in Leadership," Duane Sheriff explains why the Golden Rule is far more than a simple principle for children—it is a key to guarding our hearts, preserving our souls, and walking in the love of God. Drawing from Matthew 7, Leviticus 19, and Romans 13, Duane reveals that treating others the way we desire to be treated is the practical expression of God's love and the fulfillment of the royal law of love.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many people live by the world's rule: treat others the way they have been treated. But Jesus taught a higher way—responding with grace, forgiveness, kindness, and love even when others fail us. Holding grudges, bitterness, and unforgiveness only corrupts the heart and damages relationships, ministries, and lives. Applying the Golden Rule will keep our hearts clean before God, protect us from offense, and produce wholeness, healing, and lasting spiritual health.</p>
