Example

Have you ever thought about what it means to be an example?

A leader?

I do often. Years ago Pastor Brandon Berg would tell me about youth ministry - "You pastor who you are." This is kind of a chicken and egg type of conundrum for me.

What he meant was that your character shortcomings would be revealed in those who follow you, and your strengths will likely be theirs as well.

Well I can see that being created in those who follow you by virtue of their following you, I wonder how much of that is due to the fact that in many ways you are who you hang with. The people closest to you determine your future.

I've been wondering if I am who I want to see follow me.

I think it is time for a revolution in my soul.
