The Heart of Being a Leader

Jack Miller writes to a missionary who is having some struggles on the field:

How blessed it is just to be a follower of Jesus! Really, isn’t being a good follower the very heart of being a leader? And isn’t our leadership often lacking just because we have weakened in followership? I know that is my experience repeatedly. I get overly concerned over how to be a better leader, but Jesus is concerned about making me a better, more humble follower. (p.218)
