The Call of A Disciple What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? Discipleship is to follow one's guidance, teachings, and character. Sometimes, discipleship requires leaving something or someone to become your best self. The Bible says that many of Jesus' disciples immediately left behind something in order to gain something. What are you holding onto? What is God asking you to leave behind in order to gain what He has for you? The Bible reveals that many of Jesus' disciples followed Him without hesitation or procrastination.  Those that were hesitant to follow Jesus were often asked not to follow Him. People who had shown double-mindedness would only become a stumbling block to the mission and purpose of Jesus. Jesus' intentionally called those that He could count on. Jesus knew that reforming their mindsets would take some time and teaching. However, with some time and teaching, He knew that they would learn a new way of life, a better way thinking and ...

You're Not Your Biggest Enemy In Leadership Know when you're holding yourself back and when others are holding you back. I don't agree with the slogan, "You are your biggest enemy or critic." That's not always true. Furthermore, many leaders will tell you that many of the battles and challenges they've had to face and overcome resulted from people pursuing them with the wrong intentions in mind. Leaders can be and often are their greatest advocate. Advocating for yourself is powerful and possible. It shows that you care about your feelings, purpose, and well-being. Caring about yourself isn't arrogance. It's called self compassion. It shows that you are intuned with your life and how God is guiding and protecting you from circumstances and outcomes that aren't His will for your life or future. Never allow anyone to make you feel bad for caring about yourself and advocating for yourself in leadership. Leaders are so often stressed ou...

I am sure that the good work God began in you will continue until He completes it on the day when Jesus Christ comes again. (Philippians 1:6). You can rest assured that God will finish what He's started. God doesn't do things half- heartedly. Nor does He leave things undone. God always shows up for the assignment. He always completes the job and follows through. If the task is in God's hands, you can be confident that He will get it done. Whatever God has promised you, He will do it. Isaiah 55:11 says, "In the same way, my words leave my mouth,     and they don’t come back without results. My words make the things happen that I want to happen.     They succeed in doing what I send them to do."  God will not fail you.  So, stay the course. Continue doing what God has placed in your heart to do. He will help you to get it done.  I know sometimes it may seem like your efforts are pointless, but they're not. I know sometimes it may feel...

Listening and Learning- The Applicable Learder Okay, you are a leader. Great! Congratulations.  Join the rest of us who lead in some compacity, rather it be in our homes, communities, organizations or on the job. Leadership isn't just a location, rank or position. Leadership is a calling of the chosen and a responsibility.  The Bible says, "To much is given, much more is required." (Luke 12:48). Let's paraphrase that Scripture. When you've been entrusted with more, you are required to handle such responsibilities responsibly. Well, do you do that? Leadership isn't just about you. It's, also, about others. It's about helping people better themselves. Do you do that? Okay. You sat in the meeting. You heard the prerequisites. You've received a clearer vision of the direction the family, community, organization or team is heading to. However, does it really register with you? Have you've grabbed hold of the vision and prerequisites? Or ...
