4 Reasons We Don't Fight and Lead Spiritually

1. We are unsure of ourselves
2. We have equated providing with leading
3. We manipulate instead of lead
4. We've never seen it modeled or taught

How to Fight for What Matters Most

Understand that leading is a calling

Be intentional. (Be on your guard)

Be a Servant

Be Men of Courage

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NIV)
