I am in the midst of a life transition of sorts. It was subtle at first, but over the last couple years, as our church has grown in size and our ability to make an impact in the Kingdom has increased, it has become more recognizable. I am moving from more of a receiver to an investor into other people’s lives. I am honored to invest in younger men, many who are pastors also.
I received an email from an Internet friend via my other ministry site (www.mustardseedministry.com) asking me how I determine if what I am doing is within the plans God has for me. Here’s my quick reply to him for knowing you are within God’s plans for your life:
Who are you as a leader? Determining the type leader you are is often as important as the leadership you provide. Every leader needs to understand his or her individual strengths and weaknesses, and the skills he or she has and does not have. It is also important to understand the style of leadership you aspire to and what you expect of followers and would think they expect of you.
