Summary

We explore one of the core traits of godly leadership: Brokenness. This chapter opens with a story about Jason, a fictional character embodying the struggles many leaders face when pride and self-sufficiency creep in. His journey shows how brokenness and dependence on God are essential for lasting influence.

Key Takeaways:

The Danger of Self-Sufficiency

Jason’s story highlights how pride can lead to isolation, even when outward success is evident. His struggles serve as a reminder that self-sufficiency is a subtle but dangerous trap.

What is Brokenness?

Brokenness is a conscious, ongoing awareness of your need for God in all things. It’s not a one-time event but a lifestyle that keeps you humble and dependent on Him.

Inadequacy as a Strength

Feeling inadequate is an opportunity to rely on God’s power. Leaders often face assignments bigger than their natural abilities, and that gap is where God shows up.

The Role of Humility in Leadership

Whether young or experienced, leaders must guard against pride. The author emphasizes that godly leadership requires character over competence and dependency over self-reliance.

Isaiah 57:15

This scripture beautifully captures God’s dual nature: His sovereignty and His closeness to the humble and brokenhearted. He revives those who acknowledge their need for Him.

Encouragement for Leaders:

If you’re facing an overwhelming task, remember: There is always a gap between what you have and what God wants done. Let this gap drive you to deeper dependence on Him. Your inadequacy is not a barrier but an invitation for God to work through you.

Next Steps:

We’ll cover Chapter 3 in the next episode, so stay tuned! If you haven’t already, grab your copy of Leadership as an Identity . This book will challenge and equip you to lead with humility and dependence on God. https://a.co/d/hcoWf8X
