Podcast Episode 7: Who is a leader? Its not what you think! | Show Notes

Today, we’re talking about leadership—more specifically, who qualifies as a leader.

You might think I’m talking about someone else: a woman with a title, a platform, or public influence. But friend, I’m talking to you.

If your words carry weight…
If your faith influences even one person…
You are leading.

🔑 Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode:

✅ Leadership Isn’t About Titles — It’s About Influence

  • Esther changed a nation without a crown of power.
  • Deborah led Israel to victory without military rank.
  • Mary Magdalene carried the news of Christ’s resurrection as the first evangelist.
  • Women like Katherine Johnson and Sister Mary Kenneth Keller shaped history through faith and brilliance—often behind the scenes.

✅ Good Leadership Creates Space for Others
True leadership makes others breathe deeper and believe bigger. It shifts the atmosphere and reflects the heart of Jesus.

✅ God Didn’t Light You Up to Keep You Small
Matthew 5:14 reminds us: “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.”

✅ Your Gifts and Story Are Meant to Lead
Your journey, including your scars and setbacks, equips you to help lead others through theirs. Nothing is wasted in God’s hands.

✅ Leadership Doesn’t Mean Burnout
Leading well doesn’t mean doing more—it means leading with intention and staying rooted in God. True leadership preserves peace and clarity.

✅ Limiting Beliefs Are Lies
Thoughts like “I’m not creative,” “I’m too old,” or “Who do I think I am?” are signals that you’re called—and the enemy knows it.

🌿 Reflection Questions:

  • Have you been resisting the idea that you’re a leader? Why?
  • Where has God placed you to be a light?
  • What gifts or experiences could God be asking you to use for influence?
  • How might you lead differently if you truly believed you’re called?

“Sometimes the most powerful shift begins when we finally agree with what God has already spoken over us.”

God doesn’t require you to have a title, a plan, or a platform. He simply needs a willing heart. Leadership starts when you say, “Here I am, Lord. Use me.”
