SAMPLE DEVOTIONALWalking with Jesus Daily Journey - Day 16 The Sacred Trust of LeadershipIn both the church and marketplace, Christian leaders are called to a higher standard of leadership—one that reflects Christ's character and upholds biblical principles. Among these principles, trust stands as a cornerstone of godly leadership, echoing the faithful character of our Lord who remains "the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).
The Sacred Trust of Leadership
Leadership is a sacred trust bestowed by God. Whether leading a congregation or a corporation, Christian leaders are ultimately stewards of what God has entrusted to them. As the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 4:2, "Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful."
This biblical principle reveals a profound truth: while organizations may grant positions of authority, true leadership authority—what we might call "permissional authority"—comes from earning the trust of those we serve. Without this trust, even the most skilled leader will struggle to fulfill their God-given mission effectively.
The Trust-Authority Paradox in Ministry and Business
One of the greatest challenges in both church and business leadership occurs when a person holds positional authority but lacks the trust of their team. This disconnect creates a leadership vacuum where influence should flourish. Jesus himself modeled leadership based not on position but on trust and servant leadership, declaring, "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant" (Matthew 20:26).
This servant-leadership approach, grounded in trustworthiness, applies equally to:
- Pastors shepherding their congregations
- Ministry leaders directing their teams
- Christian business leaders managing their organizations
- Marketplace leaders influencing their corporate environments
Building Trust Through Biblical Consistency
Trust develops through a biblical equation that reflects God's own faithful nature: Consistency + Time = Trust. This formula manifests in three critical areas:
1. Your declarations: Your word as your bond (Matthew 5:37)
2. Your actions: Walking the talk (James 1:22)
3. Your timing: Fulfilling commitments when promised (Ecclesiastes 5:4-5)
The alignment of these elements reflects the character of Christ and builds lasting trust. However, when leaders over-promise and under-deliver, they not only damage their leadership effectiveness but also potentially harm their witness for Christ.
The Wisdom of Solomon
Solomon, the wisest leader in the Old Testament, understood the paramount importance of trust and reputation. As he wrote in Proverbs 22:1, "Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold." This wisdom serves as a powerful reminder that our testimony as Christian leaders—built on trust—carries eternal significance beyond temporal success.

- How Jesus modeled a Spirit-empowered life as a man anointed by the Holy Spirit.
- What it means to cultivate intimacy with God daily and carry His presence into every aspect of your life.
- Practical ways to be a light in the darkness, live in unity with the body of Christ, and step out in faith to reveal God’s glory.

In this powerful audio sermon, Glenn Bleakney delves into the concept of the fivefold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—using the imagery of Ezekiel 37's vision of resurrected bones to underscore the critical need for unity and collaboration within the church. Bleakney emphasizes that the fivefold ministry, which reflects the fullness of Christ, must operate synergistically rather than independently. He asserts that this unity is vital for revival and the complete manifestation of Christ's glory on earth, calling for healing, reconciliation, and reformation within the body of Christ. The ultimate vision he casts is for a unified church that effectively represents Christ to the world.

In this deep-dive episode, we explore the transformative concept of "listening leadership" as discussed in Glenn Bleakney's podcast episode. This leadership approach prioritises direct communion with God as the ultimate source of wisdom and guidance, challenging the tendency to rely solely on human intellect or artificial intelligence.
Drawing on biblical examples such as Adam and Eve's intimate connection with God, Solomon's divine wisdom, and Jesus' perfect alignment with the Father, we delve into how humanity was originally designed for this relationship. The episode highlights the vital role of cultivating sensitivity to the Holy Spirit to develop spiritual perception and discern God's will in leadership.
Whether you're a pastor, leader, or believer seeking to align decisions with heaven's agenda, this episode offers practical insights and encouragement to embrace "listening leadership" as a restoration of God's original design for humanity and an accessible path for every follower of Christ.

Join the Deep-dive team as they discuss Towards an Institutional or Apostolic Vision by Alejandro Rodríguez, a long-time member of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) since 1989. The book is addressed to fellow "warriors" in YWAM, encouraging them to reflect on the organization's vision and remove practices that are commonplace in ministry but do not align with God's expectations.

The book argues that YWAM is best understood not as a Christian organization but as an "apostolic mission.". This distinction is important because it impacts how the organization and its members see themselves. Rodríguez warns against falling into a "Para-church" mentality, where YWAMers view themselves as separate from or superior to the local church. Instead, YWAM should be "part of something greater" -- namely, the global church.
An apostolic vision, according to the sources, has several key characteristics:
It involves recognizing that God has already been at work and that YWAM has "a glorious inheritance" to build on and pass on to future generations It requires seeing YWAM as a family, not just a hotel where people come and go as they please It prioritizes discipleship, which is "a lifestyle," not just a six-month or one-year programIt calls for "passing on a legacy," not just delegating tasksIt means impacting society beyond just church activities, striving to be "relevant in society"It involves dependence on God, not moneyOne of the biggest threats to this apostolic vision is the tendency to become "institutionalized". Rodríguez draws contrasts between an institutional and an apostolic approach to various aspects of YWAM life and ministry:
Institutional vs. ApostolicChristian Organization vs. Apostolic Mission [4]Looking Out for One's Own Ministry vs. Being Part of Something Greater [7]Bases vs. Missionary Communities [17]Leaders vs. Pastors/Spiritual Parents [18]Training vs. Discipleship [19]Staff Members vs. Servants of God [20]Pastoral Care vs. Pastoral Life [21]Delegating a Task vs. Passing on a Legacy [22]Students vs. Disciples [23]Institutional Presence vs. A Mission that is Relevant in Society [14]Ministerial Activities vs. A Vision to Follow [24]Bound to Money vs. Depending on God [16]Rodríguez uses numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points. These range from personal experiences in YWAM Argentina to biblical stories. Notably, he emphasizes the role of families in YWAM, highlighting the challenges and opportunities they face [25, 26]. He also stresses the importance of recognizing "openings, opportunities, and urgency" in missions [27]. By responding to these, YWAM can truly make a difference in society and be part of God's work of transforming nations.
The sources conclude with a call to action, urging YWAMers to reflect on what they have read and to allow the Holy Spirit to renew their lives and ministries [28]. Rodríguez encourages...
