Servant Leadership

What does servant leadership mean to you? Secular literature has essentially redefined it by removing Christ’s name and teachings. The goal of BiblicalLeadership.com is to shine the spotlight back on Jesus, and point to the timeless wisdom found in all of Scripture, Old Testament to New. We pray the articles in this section will help you serve Jesus as you lead!
