Lead Well

Over the past few years I have been on a journey. This journey has been to become a person who is able to Lead Well. I say person because I want my leadership to encompass every role and responsibility that my life holds. I want to lead well as a husband and a father. I want to lead well as I shepherd and direct ministry. I want to lead well throughout every day-to-day interaction that I may have.

I don’t believe that this journey originated in my own heart and mind. I firmly feel God’s calling on my life, to become a person who leads well. Furthermore, I believe that Scriptures like Philippians 1:6 confirm that any call that God has placed into us, will be carried out. Carried out, not for self-glorification, but for the blessing of others and for His glorification.

It’s important to note that I have definitely not arrived yet.

As I said, I’m on a journey, and every journey has its share of ups and downs. Day in and day out, I make many errors of judgement. My character flaws continue to trip me up and prevent me from achieving what God has called me to be. Nevertheless, every fall that I have experienced, I must accept and place into my toolbox of life-lessons. Each leadership failure has taught me invaluable truths about myself, that have become vital to my journey.

This journey has culminated into a personal mission statement that continually brings me back to my calling: “Serving Christ by cultivating biblical leadership through writing, equipping, and communications.”

This mission statement can be broken up into 5 steps of importance and facilitation: First, (1) to be serving Christ within every aspect of my life. Second, (2) to be cultivating biblical leadership as I serve Christ in my various roles and responsibilities. Third, (3) to be writing a record of ongoing lessons and experiences, to assess personal growth. Fourth, (4) to be teaching these lessons to future leaders and/or the church as a whole. Finally, (5) to be communicating in such a way, as to share each experience with the world.

Throughout this short devotional book, I will share some great Biblical truths that will provide insight into what God expects from us, as leaders. Each Scripture will be followed up by some thoughts and lessons that I have obtained, throughout my leadership journey.

You may be the person who has just started to feel God’s call to take on leadership in a certain area of life. On the other hand, you may be the person who has been practicing Biblical leadership for many years now.Regardless of where you are as a leader, this book will provide an opportunity to take 30-day journey towards God’s call to Lead Well.
