A heart and mind ruled by Christ and filled with His word is one that is able to self-govern. How do you fill your heart and mind with God’s truth?

We govern our hearts, thoughts, and actions by being obedient to Christ. We align our ways with God's will by seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit and meditating on the word daily.

As our study of God's word transforms us, we become more discerning of His will for our lives.

Self-government begins in the heart. We should guard our hearts above all else by aligning with God’s word.

A genuine relationship with God means worshiping Him alone with all of our heart, soul, and mind. This is seen in our ability to lead ourselves by being accountable for our actions, life choices, and how we relate with others.

Self-government means we walk with God daily and allow the Spirit to lead every area of our lives. This is the fruit of a growing relationship with God.

God’s authority in heaven and on earth is unchanging and everlasting. Because He is  just and righteous, we can trust His rulership over our lives.

God created us to bear His image. He entrusted us to govern all that He created in a way that reflects who He is and His goodness.

God’s kingdom is everlasting, and He is our sovereign Lord. Let us continue to trust that He is in control and and hold on to the peace and hope He has promised to us.

Jesus reminds us leadership is not about being in a position, but having a heart to serve others.
