At its core, leadership in the church is about discipleship. Jesus’ Great Commission calls us to make disciples, teaching them to obey everything He has commanded. This isn’t just a task for pastors, it’s a call for every believer.
Discipleship involves walking alongside others, helping them grow in their faith and equipping them to make disciples themselves. It’s about investing time, energy, and love into people’s lives, pointing them to Jesus through your words and actions.
Jesus’ example shows us that discipleship is relational. He didn’t just preach to the crowds. He spent time with His disciples, teaching, encouraging, and challenging them. As leaders, we’re called to follow His example, pouring into others with intentionality and grace.

I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
