What if the most powerful leadership tool you possess is not your strategy, skillset, or success, but your life? In "The Leader is the Lesson," you will discover a compelling call to lead, not just by what you do, but by who you are. With Biblical depth, pastoral insight, and practical wisdom, this book explores the essential virtues that form the foundation of lasting, transformative leadership-- virtues like character, courage, collaboration, creativity, and conviction. Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, or seek to become a disciple-maker, this book will challenge and equip you to embody the message and lesson you preach or teach. In the end, your people may forget your message, but they will not forget the lesson and example of your life.
