01 What It Takes to Be a Leader

|
July, 2025

What is the Lord looking for in His leaders? It is vital to be rooted in what the Bible says about the qualities of leaders and not in man’s ideas or cultural norms. Here, Andrew Selley takes the time to uproot wrong beliefs about leadership, showing us Jesus’ way. God looks for humble men and women who place their faith in Him and remain faithful throughout testing. There are no shortcuts to becoming a leader in God’s church—only His refining process that shapes us into who He has called us to be.
