True leadership begins with leading ourselves under Christ’s lordship, so that we can serve others with humility. Spiritual leadership resonates with culture by living out the gospel with readiness for good, reminds us of our desperate need for grace, and refocuses us on God’s call to do good works because of the good done for us. Salvation is never random or earned—it flows from God’s love, kindness, and mercy. In Christ, our desires are not erased but redeemed and redirected toward Him. The world is hungry for this kind of leadership, and God is calling us to step into it.

God has called every Christ-follower to be a spiritual leader. Spiritual leaders lead by example. Our “walk” should equal our “talk.” If we say we are a Christian, then people should see it in our lives. As spiritual leaders we have a responsibility to pass our faith in Jesus on to the next generation. Let’s be the spiritual leaders God has called us to be and lead with confidence in the Lord. Our God is with us and He is for us. Leaders lead. Now is your time, so lead.

Our God is a God of joy. God wants us to experience His joy and peace in this world. True joy only comes as we give everything to Him - all our worries, fears and concerns we lay at the foot of the cross, and know our God is Sovereign over it all. The result is a peace that passes understanding. True contentment comes in Christ and Christ alone. Will you choose joy today? Think about all Jesus has done for you and know that He will never let you go. You are forever His - your eternity is secure, your sins are forgiven, so let’s choose joy today.
