"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" – Psalm 27:1


“In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33


Something to think about on this Monday morning. In a world that values accolades, how do we shift our focus to serving others and pointing them to the ultimate example of servanthood in Jesus Christ? 🤝


A healthy leader draws strength from the Gospel, nurtures their own soul, and then pours into the lives of others. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup – fill yours with God's grace. 🌿
