I grew this summer by learning that I have nothing to prove to others, myself, or even God. Living out of true identity is the only real way to life.

Leadership isn’t a title, it’s being a servant of all, dying to self, and loving others from the overflow of His love for me.

It’s leading by example, not advice alone.

Even though people are in various stages of growth in their lives, God can still use them in mighty ways, the garbage man is just as important as the mayor, though their jobs may be different, and how people respect and recognize them, it doesn’t change the importance of what they are called to do.
