Leadership is one of the most observed and least understood phenomena
on Earth. JM Burns
Christian Leadership is the process by which men and women called by God give servant direction and humble guidance to a body of believers toward a common goal using Biblical principles. Leadership is the management of heavenly resources, including people, talent, and time.
Troy A. Griffitts
Num 27:15-20 NLT Then Moses said to the LORD, 16 "O LORD, You are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Please appoint a new man as leader for the community. 17 Give them someone who will guide them wherever they go and will lead them into battle, so the community of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd." 18 The LORD replied, "Take Joshua son of Nun, who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him. 19 Present him to Eleazar the priest before the whole community, and publicly commission him to lead the people. 20 Transfer some of your authority to him so the whole community of Israel will obey him.
