Leading with talent instead of character is a disaster waiting to happen! It's only a matter of time before the right situation exposes you!
Talent opens the door, but character is what keeps you in the room — and a gifted person without discipline is a scandal on a delay, not a testimony in progress. Paul didn't trust his gifting alone; he disciplined his own body so he wouldn't be disqualified after preaching to others. Pride always precedes disgrace. Build the character now, before the situation that exposes you finds you first.
