Understanding the Beginning of Christian Leadership
In Scripture, leadership does not begin with ambition, talent, or opportunity. It begins with calling.
Calling is the moment when God initiates a relationship of responsibility with a person, inviting them to participate in His purposes. It is not self-assigned, self-generated, or self-sustained. It is received. God speaks, summons, and entrusts—often before a leader feels ready, recognized, or clear about the outcome.
This pattern is consistent across Scripture.
