Creating a spiritual culture that develops, supports, and rehabilitates spiritual leaders.
The story of Gideon in the Bible shows us how God can shape any of us into strong leaders if we’re willing to take one (very small) step of faith at a time.
Overcoming our fear of inadequacy and having the courage to dream
Everyone can become a spiritual leader, but it begins with the decision to allow God to make you into one.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
We are all leaders on some level, and each of us will be faced with obstacles at some point. This is where developing creative leadership becomes indispensable.
Some people are acquaintances. Some are life changers. We can learn from Jesus how to become life changers.
What is your attitude about serving people? Do you enjoy making people's lives better at the expense of your own time and energy?
There is no doubt that this world is changing, but it is up to each of us to decide and influence how it changes.
With secure confidence in the saving power of God, we tightly grip the “sword of the Spirit”, which is God’s Word, and then march forward in our fight to rescue others from the darkness.
Pray about your lack of trust in God. What areas of your life are you unwilling to trust God with, and how has this affected your desire to pray? How has it affected your desire to read your Bible?
Jesus's confidence was in God, so when people were fickle he remained faithful, which is why I think so many people found him attractive. We must read the scriptures with greater intensity to learn this confidence, so we continue to keep the dream of Jesus alive and build his kingdom, regardless of whether we are many or few, important or irrelevant, succeeding or failing, being criticized or praised.
