The main goal for Out of This World Leaders is to reflect Jesus Christ in their own lives…and the character trait that best enables us to do that is humility.

Contrary to popular opinion, humility is not a matter of weakness or passivity; from a Biblical point of view, it is a disciplined strength and other-centered power. I appreciate C.S. Lewis’ perspective–echoed by Rick Warren (pictured above)–when they said, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it’s thinking of yourself less.”

Week 47 of the NIV Leadership Bible focuses on the importance of Humility to leadership. Take a stroll with me to learn from King Solomon, Paul’s perspective of Jesus’ example, and the early church’s desert monks!

Weeks 29 & 30 of the NIV Leadership Bible focus on the importance of dependence on God to leadership.

All people who lead others find more than enough things to worry about. What are your worries today? Are they deadlines, financial pressures, conflict with family or friends, or anything else?

As leaders who want to impact our generation, we need to lead in a way that allows others to see our faith in God. One way we can do that is by depending on God in the face of daily pressures. Remember that those you lead will see how you respond to life’s pressures and will likely follow your actions!
