As Christian women called to lead (yes, I\u2019m talking about you) \u2014 whether in the boardroom, at home, or in ministry \u2014 it’s easy to slip into leading from pressure, performance, or even pride. But Jesus calls us to a different way \u2014 one anchored in surrender, humility, and truth.<\/p>\n

Before you step into your next decision, meeting, or moment of influence, pause and ask yourself these five questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Where in my leadership am I relying more on myself than on Jesus?<\/strong>
    Self-reliance feels efficient, but it often leads to burnout. Jesus invites us to walk with<\/em> Him \u2014 not just for<\/em> Him. When we surrender our leadership to Him, He shows up to lead through us.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    How can I practice servant leadership this week \u2014 especially when it\u2019s inconvenient?<\/strong>
    Real leadership looks like kneeling before it climbs. Who around you needs your presence more than your performance? Remember to consider those at work, those in your community, and those at home.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Which fruit of the Spirit do I need more of in my leadership?<\/strong>
    Is it patience in hard conversations? Joy in dry seasons? Self-control when you’re stretched thin? Let the Holy Spirit lead you and He will provide what you need. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Are my decisions being shaped more by external pressure or eternal truth?<\/strong>
    Culture will push you to impress. Christ calls you to obey. Choose the lasting over the loud. (Stay centered on truth. I want to type that 1,000 times because we so easily start to believe, think, and say things that are not truth. We must stop it. If it doesn\u2019t line up with God\u2019s word, it\u2019s not true.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Who in my circle is watching how I lead \u2014 and what are they seeing about Jesus through me?<\/strong>
    Your leadership is a witness. You don\u2019t have to be perfect, but you do have to be present and intentional. In Matthew 5:14 Jesus is speaking and says, You are the light of the world \u2013 like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. <\/em>This means that those who are living in spiritual darkness will be attracted by our light and want to step into it. Jesus\u2019 light always reveals truth. Let your light shine. God will use it to change lives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Leadership isn\u2019t about having all the answers. It\u2019s about asking the right questions and inviting Jesus to lead through you \u2014 moment by moment, day by day, conversation by conversation. Be present and see the opportunities God is bringing into your life to lead others to Him.<\/p>\n

    I am praying for you as you grow into the leader God is calling you to become.<\/p>\n
