The Pathway to Christian School Leadership Has Many On-Ramps

 

Joseph saved God’s people from starvation as a high-ranking leader in Egypt. Moses led God’s people out of bondage in Egypt. David led God’s people both as military leader and king. Gideon led an army of God’s people into battle. Elisha relayed God’s words to His people. Peter, Andrew, James, and John led God’s people in the days of the early Church. What do all these men have in common? They each experienced a radical, God-ordained career change. Each of them was “unconventionally prepared” for their leadership roles. Consider David—he had no military experience when he fought Goliath, nor political experience when he was anointed king. Yet God took a humble shepherd and transformed him into a warrior and a king.
