Clay in the Hands

This week, Thursday and Friday, I will have the distinct privilege of attending the Leadership Summit with a group of folks from our church and community.  I have read and heard most of the speakers who will be speaking on leadership at this event and I am really looking forward to hearing them again.

But more importantly than that, I am looking forward to sharing this time with the folks who are attending the event from our community.  I have learned that leaders never lead alone.  We all need others to learn from, lean on and with whom we can experience mutual accountability.  So the relational side of this event will be just as important as the actual speaking.  (P.S. – We still have one spot available if you are interested let me know)

All of us are leaders in some capacity.  At the core of our commitment to the Way is an element of leadership.  When you committed to follow Jesus, you committed to stop following the world.  It takes a real sense of courage and willingness to stand alone to step out of the norm and be different.  So as a believer, you are a leader.

The question for you to consider today is this – who are the folks around you who you can learn from, lean on and with whom you can experience mutual accountability?  I challenge you today to not only think on this in passing, but actually make a list of the folks who fit this profile for you.

Lead out today!
