Servant Leadership is the model but that is not all of the story. Another aspect of leadership we need to wrestle with is our gifting. How has God wired you? What talents are at your disposal? And you can’t say none because that’s a lie. Everyone has something to bring, something to give. Everyone. That’s the essence of the story of Jesus – from the woman at the well, tax collectors, zealots, and prostitutes – no matter who you are or what you’ve done, you have value and you’re needed in the Body of Christ.

How do you figure out your gift? There are some surveys out there but nothing beats experience. Just start trying stuff. You’ll discover a few things during that process. You’ll figure out what you’re not good at, you’ll figure out what you love but maybe need some training, you’ll find out things you never knew. So overall it’s a win-win-win all the way around.

Tomorrow: Matching that gift with passion
