Learning to be a Follower (SOMD ~ Wk3)

So this post is a bit early this week because we are going camping!!!! I am so excited to get off the base and get to know my SOMD family on a deeper level. I'll make sure to update everyone about it next week!

I had the opportunity to go home for Easter. It was so nice to get to spend time with my family as well as my church family for Easter at Fairplex! Love the crazy busy day!

Look how grown up my brothers look!
 I love watching them grow into young men!

This week was Spiritual Leadership week with Kenny Peavy. Kenny is an amazing speaker because he not only teaches you in a classroom setting, but you see him live out what he's teaching. I was honored to hear him speak during another school that I have done through YWAM. Kenny is very Holy Spirit lead and is a true example of what a leader looks like.


The main thing Kenny kept saying is that in order to be a good leader, you have to be a good follower. As Christians, we are called to be followers of Jesus, so becoming a healthy leader comes with that. Paul and David were both willing to live to follow in God's calling for their life. They weren't perfect but they were at a place of listening to what God said to them and acting on it. I want to live by this example. Sometimes, we end up like Judas or Saul, wanting all the glory for ourselves. We want to see how far up on the ladder of success we can get by ourselves or we expect God to reward us here on earth. That's not what our goal should be, it should be on how we can further the kingdom for God's glory. He freely gives to us so we can freely give it away. He gave us the best he could, Himself! Our goal is to become his disciples, so we can make disciples, so they can go out and make disciples, and keep it going till the end of time!

I really enjoyed the worship time Kenny lead our school in. He had us sing from what the Spirit was speaking to us to show us that we are all worship leaders. When we worship, it's not about who's watching but only what happens between us and the Lord.

This week was so good and I can't wait to continue to see how God speaks in the coming weeks! I'll see you guys next Saturday, and I'll update you on our camping trip!!!
