What does spilled sherbet have to do with leadership?

More than you think.

In Episode 31 of Summit After the Storm, Bart Wilbanks shares a hilarious kitchen moment — when Amanda accidentally knocked an entire tub of sherbet onto the floor while scooping dessert for the boys.

Cue Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust.”

It was funny. It was ordinary. And it revealed something deeper.

Because leadership isn’t first tested in boardrooms or on mountains.

It’s tested at home.

This episode explores:

• Emotional intelligence in marriage

• Leadership at home before leadership at work

• Stress response and emotional regulation

• Parenting and modeling steadiness

• Faith-based leadership in ordinary moments

• Handling small disruptions without escalation

• Proverbs 17:27 and being even-tempered

• Mount Kilimanjaro lessons applied to everyday life

• Personal growth and maturity in relationships

When internal margin is thin, small inconveniences feel big.

But growth looks like this:

No panic.
No blame.
No escalation.
Just steadiness.

“We all wait for life to get easier. It never does. We just learn to handle hard better.”

From mountain summits to kitchen floors, this episode challenges listeners to build emotional capacity in the quiet, unseen moments that shape legacy.

Because your family experiences your leadership before your team ever does.
