Sometimes, without even realizing it, leaders can use their role as a form of self-protection.
➝Position
➝Title
➝Seniority
➝Biblical authority
All of it can become a shield if the heart underneath feels unsafe or unseen.
But Kingdom leadership looks different.
Jesus showed us that authority isn’t about control - it’s about care.
It isn’t a weapon. It’s a weight we carry with tenderness and responsibility.
If you’ve ever caught yourself leading from pressure instead of peace, or control instead of connection, pause and ask:
➝What fear am I trying to protect myself from?
➝How can I lead with strength and softness at the same time?
➝What would servant-hearted authority look like in this situation?
Healthy authority creates safety. It empowers others, builds trust, and reflects the Father’s heart.
As you grow, remember:
Your authority is not who you are - it’s what you’ve been entrusted with.
And God is shaping you into a leader who stewards it with wisdom, humility, and grace.
