"Jesus called them together and said, 'You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.'"
— Mark 10:42-43
The world has no shortage of leadership training programs. But biblical leadership operates on fundamentally different principles.
Lords authority over people
Seeks personal power and status
Climbs the ladder upward
Measures success in numbers
Accumulates wealth and position
Creates distance and mystique
Serves those beneath them
Uses power to empower others
Takes the low position (like Jesus)
Measures success in transformed lives
Pours self out for the mission
Operates with transparency
"Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant." - Jesus
These principles distinguish Christ-centered leaders from worldly leaders
Authority flows from relationship with Christ, not position
Power flows downward through service, not domination
Develop leaders who develop leaders (exponential growth)
