What Does Spiritual Leadership Look Like?

True Biblical spiritual leadership doesn’t look like the world’s leadership. And when a spiritual leader fails, it’s because they’ve traded Jesus’ way of leading for a worldly way.

Understanding Spiritual Battles Through The Bible

It can be easy to forget that we are in the middle of an eternal struggle of good and evil every day. Ultimately, everything bad and destructive originates from Satan.
