If we do not address our fallen and corrupting heart attitude, we will never be good leaders, let alone know the true joy that comes with resting exclusively in Christ and his love for us. Nor can we have true and open relationships with other people. If we are afraid to really see how sin manipulates our hearts and causes us to hate and manipulate others, how can we truly love and care for others? How can we walk through life with one another, encouraging one another to hold fast to Christ and pick one another up when we fall? As leaders, how can we truly lead with humility and openness when we can’t be truly open and vulnerable with God our Father?
If we do not approach what we will be learning about leadership in this course from a heart level, we will never deal with the potential for leadership shortcomings in our own hearts. If we do not see the tendency that each one of us has to being petty little tyrants, we will never truly be able to embrace the principles of leadership advocated in this class. Another implication for leadership: the world is in crisis—it needs true leaders at every level and walk of life. If we can’t first come to God, broken in our weakness and frailty, if we can’t walk with Christ, how will the world ever really know that there is a hope beyond this life?
