Most people don't think of themselves as leaders. Leadership feels like something reserved for people with a platform, a title, or a certain kind of confidence. But Scripture tells a different story. It says you were created—on purpose, with intention—to do good things that God planned for you before you ever showed up.
Leadership, at its core, isn't about authority. It's about deciding to show up fully for the people around you, the work in front of you, and the mission that's bigger than any one of us. Colossians doesn't say "work hard when people are watching." It says work as though the audience is God himself. That reframes everything. The way you serve, the care you bring, the attention you give—none of it is small when it's done for him.
This week you'll sit with five values that define what that kind of leadership looks like in practice. Not a checklist to complete. Not a standard to perform. A way of living and leading that grows out of who God made you to be—and who he's still shaping you to become.
Reflect: When you think about the word "leader," does it feel like something that describes you? What might need to shift in how you see yourself for that to change?
