“As I search through Scripture seeking to
understand what God is looking for in the
one He can use, I begin to sense God does
not look for ‘leaders’, but rather for those
‘whose heart is loyal to Him.’”

“No leader can possibly lead where
he has not been or share what he has
not knowingly experienced. The
disciples came to know God by
observing and practicing everything
Jesus commanded. And this is how
those we lead will come to know the
Father and the Son.”
