As I began to think this morning I realized that there are Levels of Leadership. Each of us has been given a Level of Leadership in which we live our daily lives. As a Pastor I have been given a Level of Leadership that influences people's Spiritual Lives. It is a wonderful responsibility the Lord has so graciously given to me. I love what I do and what I have been called to do.
Yet I realize that with every level there are both benefits and challenges that one must learn to navigate. One of the challenges is that not everyone has the full information about a decision that had to be made. It is amazing how easily we can make a judgment on someone without having the full scope of information. Being a leader is a great honor that one must learn how to handle the inevitable questioning that comes.
The leaders main role is to hear from their team and then make a decision based upon all the information that is given at the time. Knowing that some decisions will be better than others. I know some incredible leaders that are helping me as God is taking me and The Church to new Levels of Leadership! Hearing from seasoned leaders and then spending time in Prayer and The Word is the best way to make Godly Decisions.
My prayer is that all of us continue to Seek the Lord and Wise Counsel as we move to New Levels of Leadership. I want to be a voice to help people not hinder them as they move into new areas of influence and responsibility.
Life of a Pastor,
