📖 Lesson Summary:
In this lesson, Michael Brodeur highlights the importance of relational leadership. Many leaders focus on tasks and systems, but true Kingdom leadership starts with relationships.
Brodeur discusses how Saul led from his position, while David led from the heart. The difference? David cared deeply for his people, while Saul relied on authority alone. Leaders must develop trust, connection, and influence before they can effectively guide others.
📖 Scripture Focus:
“I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.” — Jeremiah 3:15
Key Takeaways:
✅ Leadership is about people, not just processes—relational leadership comes before organizational leadership.
✅ Leading from the heart creates lasting impact—people follow leaders who genuinely care.
✅ Jesus led relationally first—He invested in individuals before commissioning them to lead.
