All throughout scripture, we see Jesus using broken people to share Hope to a broken world. He didn’t use the popular, rich or successful, but rather the, poor, broken and faithful.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or who you use to be. God can use all people for the good of His will.
The other day I was studying at a local coffee shop, when two people sat down beside me and proceeded to engage in a job interview. Their conversation began to catch my attention, but all I could pick up was that the job had something to do with pharmaceutical sales. But I guess that’s besides the point.
Not only was the guy who was interviewing wearing ripped jeans, sandals and a tank top, but he was texting on his phone nearly half of the interview.
Leadership is one of those pinnacle topics that everyone has their hand in. It doesn’t matter where you work, what you do, or where you plan on going. We all lead something, but the real question is, how great of a leader are you?
Over my last six years of ministry I have had the opportunity to be in various roles, and under incredible people. Although I don’t know everything, I believe these 10 points are impeccable to great anyone looking to develop great leadership.
I can only the imagine the intensity and curiosity of Moses as he approached the burning bush in Exodus chapter 3. All throughout scripture we see people encountering God in the most unfathomable ways, but I believe this is one of those defining moments that truly showcases how mysterious and relentless God is when trying to reach His people.
1. Do you have a burning bush experience?
2. How did you encounter the presence of God?
Over the last few years I have noticed that when I put myself into unfamiliar situations, I begin to expose a lot about myself, my leadership, and my relationship with God. Unfamiliar situations will do this to the best of us, and I firmly believe that evaluating the way we handle change is a wonderful way to scale our relationship with Christ.
Recently I shared a post about my cross-country move to a new state, city, and ministry position. And although it’s only been about a week since I have arrived, I can’t begin to explain how much I’ve already learned, grown, and experienced.
It’s really easy to get caught up in the worlds laser focus of money-making, getting popular, and the strive for successful living. But what if I told you God could care less about those things? In fact, what if I told you that God isn’t focused on your “worldly success” at all, that is unless it is being used for the glorification of Jesus.
What a relief….
