Overview
Leadership has been defined simply as the influence one has in the lives of others. However a true spiritual leader is someone whose way of life and personal character motivates others to seek significance. Spiritual leadership seeks to motivate people from the inside, by an appeal to the heart, not by external pressure or coercion. Sadly, most of today's leaders have traded away the notion of leadership by character to leadership by celebrity.Spiritual leaders are not consumed with their own success, but with the success of others. They work hard to make everyone around them successful by focusing their passion on helping those they lead to envision, embrace and enjoy the opportunities set before them. Bernard Montgomery said, "Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose, and the character which inspires confidence."¹ Spiritual leaders of this kind therefore demonstrate to those around them that the interests of others are what most occupies their heart.This type of leadership is really found in the scriptures as fathering. Fathering empowers the person in the position of leadership to succeed because people trust him with their futures. If he issurrounded with gifted, capable, diligent, and effective people who are truly devoted to him and his leadership-it is because he has gained their trust.In this book we will seek to understand how Jesus took His pattern of "taking, blessing, breaking and giving bread" and used it as an example of how coaching, mentoring and fathering should be done. This pattern, I believe, is all about every believer being born a spiritual son, growing and maturing as a son and then becoming a spiritual father (1 John 2:13-14) and learning to be a father to others.
