NOTE

The Importance of Spiritual Formation for Leaders

Spiritual formation is a crucial discipline for leaders to cultivate, as it shapes their character and soul. The emphasis is on personal development over professional achievements, as the main impact on others comes from the person the leader becomes. It is highlighted that outsourcing spiritual formation is not effective, and leaders need to personally experience deep joy, contentment, and confidence in everyday life with God to truly influence and transform their community. Failing to prioritize spiritual formation can lead to ministry becoming ego-driven and can diminish the value of people around the leader.
