Spiritual maturity is revealed more by our relating than by our knowing or by our going. That’s an uncommon belief. Churches throughout the world pursue maturity through teaching and preaching that’s aimed at the head and feet, not the deepest parts of a person’s heart.

Kevin and his team spent a lot of time and money to host a large group leader training at the church. As the event started, he sat in the back and looked across a half-empty room and was disheartened by the light attendance. As the night finished, despite maximizing every minute of the event, there…
In J. Oswald Sanders classic work “Spiritual Leadership”, he called servanthood “the Master’s master principle.” He says, “Jesus was a revolutionary, not in the guerrilla warfare sense, but in His teaching on leadership.
