My title at our church is Lead Pastor. That might be misleading. I'm actually an under-shepherd. I'm an apprentice. I'm a steward and a disciple.
Spiritual leaders aren't large and in charge. Quite the opposite. Our leadership isn't guaranteed by people under us. It's secured by the One over us.
The leadership of Jesus has real priority implications for spiritual leaders. We learn before we teach. We repent before we counsel. We listen before we talk. We pray before we plan. Jesus sets our pace.
We can't lead anyone further than we have personally journeyed? Have you found that to be true? Then who's leading you?
Gotta run...
So I can kneel.
So true!

"oh, let my pride fall down, I'm a little man..." (supertones)
