People often make assumptions about those in leadership. They assume our hearts are always soft and our quiet times always bring joy.
They imagine we never forget to pray – that sanctification has come easily – and that our shoulders are so broad that we can keep listening and supporting without showing a crack. I once even had a woman exclaim to me: ‘It’s ok for you, you don’t struggle with sin’ (needless to say my friends put her right on that one without delay!).
Leadership path
Leaders are meant to be mature – those whose faith is sure, whose gifts are tested and, most importantly, whose character is godly (Titus 1).
