Serving and leading don't always seem to be compatible. Often, those who have positions think they lead with power or coercion. Serving others is pushed off on subordinates. In fact, those in powerful positions expect and demand service from others.
Counter-intuitively and counter-culturally, Jesus tips everything upside down. Jesus calls anyone who pursues leadership to practice servanthood first. He tells us that serving others is
what we should observe in those we make our leaders.
Everyday I ask God to help me lead through serving...because it doesn't come naturally to serve others instead of myself.
