Overview
Many leaders struggle with the insecurity of not feeling gifted enough or "worthy" to lead. The Bible and our church history is full of stories of people who shook in their boots when called to step up and lead, whose insecurities made them lean on God. This dependence on God is essential to being an effective leader in working for his Kingdom.
Insecurity can stem from any number of things, from fear to doubt to impatience to plain old confusion. And insecurities can seep into any area of life—not just in places we’re called to lead. These articles tackle those topics in ways we hope help you see your insecurity as an opportunity to lean on God.
