Currently, God is calling forth bold men and women who refuse to play it safe by avoiding conflict and trying to please everyone. Leaders must act, pursue righteousness, and call others into a radical and holy lifestyle.
This means a willingness to work hard even when things are tough, or we face rejection for taking an unpopular stand.
Was there ever a more important time in our history to be Leading Jesus’ Way?
You are currently leading in uncharted waters. The COVID-19 Crisis has led to businesses being shut down, and individuals to either shelter in place or socially distance themselves. You may be working from home or you might still be on the front lines.
Whatever your situation, one thing I know all leaders are dealing with is the same: Your team members and family are concerned about the future. When will this crisis end? How many people will die? When will we be back to normal?
I am confident, you are in your leadership position for “Such a time as this!”
“…And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14
Now is the time to double down on your servant leadership practices and focus on leading Jesus’ way! While there are a lot of things that are changing daily and being canceled, there are also a lot of things that remain constant and are still open.
God, Jesus, Family, Love Relationships is NOT Cancelled. Gratefulness, Caring, Kindness, and Patience are NOT Cancelled. Forgiveness and Grace are Not Cancelled. Guess what Prayer is Not Cancelled.
This is not a time for taking a break and treating it as an extended vacation. Even though you might be working from home or are working on-site and are practising social distancing, your church, your team, and your family need you and your leadership now more than ever!
