What Does Christmas Teach Us About Leadership?

Christmas is one of the most meaningful seasons of the year. It’s full of joy, generosity, family, and tradition — and yes, sometimes a little pressure too. Between gifts, meals, schedules, and expectations, it can feel like a lot to carry. But what if Christmas isn’t just something to get through? In this solo episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh Kosnick explores why Christmas is actually one of the greatest leadership stories ever told. Long before Jesus ever preached or led publicly, leadership was already being shaped through humility, restraint, and power under control. This conversation looks at:  • Why Christmas can feel demanding and meaningful at the same time  • How expectations can overshadow what really matters  • Why Jesus modeled leadership through humility and presence  • What “power under control” looks like in real life  • How leadership always shows up first in relationships  • Why self-care is stewardship, not indulgence This episode is thoughtful, encouraging, and practical — designed to help you slow down, reflect, and lead well during this season.
