LEADERS DRAW APART
Instead of relying just on others for their affirmation, Christian leaders have a source of power and inspiration that transcends human wisdom and thinking. Leaders must develop a capacity for handling loneliness when they are out in front. They may be respected, trusted, and followed but they are not always loved by their followers. For this reason, they are often lonely in human terms. But in Christ they have eternal fellowship and through Him access to God himself. In the Bible we have models for prayerful reflection, meditating and seeking God’s wisdom. Drawing apart is a natural part of the Christians’ renewal process as modeled by Jesus, Moses, Paul, etc. From “Three Basics for Leadership Development in Christian Colleges and Universities,” by Don Page, Vice President for Academic Affairs Trinity Western University
