Authentically leading and empowering others to flourishing life in Christ
All tagged Christian leadership
Comparison opens the door. Imitation walks through it. And before you know it, you’re trying to lead like someone God never called you to be. This is the danger every leader faces — losing yourself while trying to imitate someone else’s calling. David refused Saul’s armor for a reason. God’s anointing isn’t a call to imitate leadership; it’s an invitation to authentic leadership.
Chris Berman used to say, “Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.” Leadership works the same way. Great leaders don’t withstand pressure because they’re strong—they withstand it because they’re surrounded by the right people: encouragers, wisdom-givers, and truth-tellers.
It’s easy to coast when your eyes are fixed on what’s safe. But when you start looking for what Jesus looks for — when you decide to see people the way He sees them — it changes everything. Focus isn’t accidental; it’s intentional. And it’s the work that makes transformation possible.
