As stewards, Christian leaders cultivate the resources in their care for the glory of God and the good of others. Many Christians don’t think of themselves as leaders. Others may know that they have been assigned roles as leaders, but they aren’t clear on what that means. No wonder. Contemporary models and images of leadership usually include a dynamism and charisma that many of us just don’t feel we have. How does the Bible define leadership? I believe the main biblical model for leadership is the “steward leader.” The “steward” was both a ruler and a slave, and this model provides us with a unique way to think out what it means to lead others.
