This is the first piece in our Leadership Development series. It explores the essential keys to healthy leadership through the lens of Scripture. In this study, we will look at what healthy leadership is, how we can access new, sustaining sources of power and strength, and how submission to authority is the key to unlocking our God-given purpose. We'll also look at how God operates in His authority - leading out of His love for us, not a desire to have power over us. This PSNL study shows us areas where we struggle with pride and how it may be hindering us from walking in real strength and wisdom. It's not an easy topic to address because we have to lay down defensiveness, pride and pain in order to grow. We have to be honest with ourselves about how these areas can hold us back. As we go through this study, we'll look at how understanding authority has everything to do with becoming a healthy leader and finding new strength that will help us live out our purpose well.

Jesus is genuinely interested in helping us experience real freedom, not bondage or control over us. Even if you're not ready to follow Jesus yet. We challenge you to go on a journey through this class to discover the freedom and strength that comes from Jesus that empowers us to be the leaders God created us to be.
