Episode 161: How to Lead Through Change and Trust God in Uncertainty | Jarrod Graetz Interview

Are you walking through a season of change—whether in your career, relationships, faith, or just life in general? Then this episode is for you.

On today’s Your Biggest Breakthrough, we sit down with Jarrod Graetz, former CEO of Australia’s largest Christian radio network and now a U.S.-based entrepreneur. Jarrod has faced the kinds of transitions most of us dread—leadership overhauls, financial crisis, global relocation, spiritual battles, and even the terrifying moment when his son lost the ability to walk just before their international move.

Through every twist and test, Jarrod clung to one truth: God’s got this.

🎙️ In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why Jarrod fired his entire sales team to honor God—and saw a miraculous turnaround
  • How a $1.8M deficit became a $300k surplus during COVID
  • What it looks like to obey God before seeing the provision
  • The powerful vision that led him to walk away from everything

This isn’t just a story—it’s a roadmap for navigating change with bold faith and Holy Spirit-led courage.

If you need fresh strength to follow God’s call—even when it doesn’t make sense—this episode will encourage your heart and fire up your faith.
