Leadership can be lonely, hard, frustrating and messy. But it also can be amazingly fulfilling, beautiful and significant. Ultimately, a group is only as strong, as driven, as faithful and as fervent as its leader. It’s a ripple-effect of sorts that can make a ministry soar or send it plummeting to the ground.
