When there is an ingredient missing
Do you ever feel like something’s missing?
Following that sense of “hang on, there is something not 100% right here” is a massive part of leading God’s people.
To me, that is what makes ministry leadership primarily spiritual in nature. It is not just training or skills or abilities or personality that we do this thing. It’s got to be something more. We’re talking supernatural, revelatory stuff. Seeing ahead of the seasons and making the necessary adjustments to keep pace with the Spirit of God.
