Paul said to "follow me as I follow Christ", and when I think about asking a student to follow me as I follow Christ, I realize that I need to do a better job of following Christ! I want to model following Christ in such a way that it's appealing to the students I work with. I want to be authentic with my struggles, but I also want to demonstrate the joy and fulfillment that comes from following Christ in obedience and faith.
Leadership is being the ultimate servant, putting others' needs before your own. Leadership is casting vision; it's showing students I'm taking them somewhere; it's drawing on my strengths and the strengths of those around me to make things happen. Leadership is a process.
