Most of us have sat in a meeting where we saw something clearly and said nothing. Everyone else seemed smarter, more spiritual, better informed. So we kept quiet and told ourselves it was humility.
But you can’t lead, much less serve, if you can’t say out loud what you see.
In this episode, I tell you about meetings I sat in during the 1980s with nationally known leaders. Our culture was changing in ways I believed were harmful. But I’d look around the table and think, “He’s smarter by accident than I am on purpose. Who am I?” I’d shut down. Those meetings showed me that something had to change inside me before my leadership could change. That started a journey I’m still on.
Today’s practice: Before you lead today, notice the voice in your head that talks you out of speaking up. Then ask Jesus to begin renovating that place in you, by the power of the Spirit.
