Behind him is a grade school boy doing a nice somersault. And behind him is a little guy with his bottom up in the air, trying to get his body over the hump. Leaders are those who have followers. Being a leader is not about a title or a position. It's about influencing and modeling.
Leaders influence discipleship, and that's why being a godly leader is important.
Any leader, even unintentional ones, can lead in directions that either help or hinder others in their daily journeys toward Jesus. We never quite know who is watching. Recently while on an airplane, I watched a politician I recognized care humbly and gently for an older person on the flight. That politician didn't know I was watching. He didn't know that he was being a leader at that moment.
