That may sound strange coming from someone who is seen as a leader, so let me explain. In my eyes, being a godly leader is all about following the Lord and cultivating a strong relationship with Him, which is what my heart is. It\u2019s what I\u2019ve invested in the most. So, even though I am a leader, I\u2019ve never pursued leadership roles or mentors in that area because I believe the closer I am to God, the better leader I am. Until two years ago, I had never even attended a leadership conference.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-071f108 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"071f108\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Despite that, I now lead a global team of 1,100 employees and oversee numerous schools and worldwide broadcasts in multiple languages.

There are a lot of people who learn their leadership principles from the world, but I tell you, Jesus said, \u201c<strong>he that is greatest among you shall be your servant<\/strong>\u201d (Matt. 23:11), and He demonstrated this by the way He served us and gave His life for us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9cb18e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9cb18e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I made a list of what I consider to be the top ten essentials of godly leadership.
