The Joy of the Lord in Leadership | Bruce Havill

In this episode of The Healthy Christian Leader Show, host Dwight Habermehl sits down with longtime friend and business leader Bruce Havill. Bruce, a seasoned entrepreneur and encourager in the body of Christ, shares his journey of faith, leadership, and resilience in the marketplace and ministry.
Bruce reflects on his 50 years in business, his time as an elder at Grace Chapel, and his experience running a commercial cleaning company. He discusses how he navigated seasons of uncertainty, including stepping out in faith to start his own business in the midst of a recession. Bruce opens up about a transformative period of depression and fear, revealing how God used that season to deepen his dependence on Him.
The conversation shifts to the topic of joy versus happiness-exploring how true joy is not dependent on circumstances but is rooted in the presence of God. Bruce also shares insights from his recent battle with cancer and how the lessons he learned in his younger years prepared him to face this challenge with faith and confidence.
This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership, whether in business or ministry, is about trusting God, building strong teams, and relying on His strength through every season of life.
