Re: Leadership is stewardship, not control


Hey everyone,

If your leadership disappeared tomorrow, would your team still stand strong.

If leadership cannot be passed down, it is not biblical leadership.

Today’s focus is the overlooked responsibility of building systems and leaders who can carry the weight when you step away.

What I Am Thinking

Leadership is stewardship. We are pillars that hold up and display the truth, not the truth itself. If everything in the business depends on you, you are not stewarding what God gave you. Build systems, structures, and leaders who can bear the load even when you are not in the room.

What I Am Using Daily

Simple repeatable systems. A system is wisdom made repeatable. Clarity is the first system. Managing households well requires structure and predictability, and so do teams.

Quick actions.

  • Define the standard before expecting the outcome
  • Write the top three weekly tasks only you know how to do
  • Turn each into step by step processes and let the team run them

What I Am Blabbing

Five practical biblical tips to multiply impact.

  1. Clarify the standard. Your team cannot hit a target they cannot see
  2. Build simple systems. Start small and make wisdom repeatable
  3. Teach and model. You cannot delegate what you have not demonstrated
  4. Create opportunities to lead. People grow by carrying real responsibility
  5. Multiply leaders. The greatest evidence of your leadership is who you raise up

What Resources I’m Sharing

Scripture to revisit from today’s talk.

  • 1 Timothy 3 on qualifications and order in leadership
  • Imitate me as I imitate Christ
  • Jesus sending disciples two by two
    Practice prompt. Define the win with your team this week and document the first simple system together.

What I Am Studying

1 Timothy 3 as a blueprint for leadership pillars. Above reproach. Self controlled. Hospitable. Able to teach. Not greedy. Managing the household well. These are not personality traits. They are standards that shape systems, culture, and succession.

What I Am Yoked To

Multiplication that outlasts the original. Build the engine. Teach others to maintain it. Then teach them to build a better engine. We are called to bear fruit and that our fruit bears fruit.

Thank you for leaning in. 1 Timothy 3 calls us to a higher way of leading that multiplies beyond us. Start by clarifying the standard, build simple repeatable systems, teach and model what you expect, create real opportunities for others to lead, and cultivate a culture where fruit bears fruit. Your role is not to be the engine. Your role is to build the engine and raise builders.

Next Step:

Leader challenge this week. Write the standard for one role, document one simple system, and assign one real leadership rep to a team member.

Hey Reader, Every leader feels the tension between running faster and running faithfully. We push, plan, and perform, yet sometimes it still feels off. This week, I've been reflecting on Hebrews 12:1–2 and the idea of Faith-Driven Leadership, reminding us that our best leadership happens when we run the race God set before us, not the one culture, family, or ambition demands. What I’m Thinking “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us...
