Authority is a good thing. It is a gift from God and has a purpose. Used well, authority can provide needed leadership and structure to an organization, network, church, or community. But history shows how easily authority can be abused or wasted. The Bible is clear that ultimate authority belongs to Jesus. As leaders, we have a responsibility to steward the authority that has been entrusted to us. But what does that look like in everyday leadership? How can we steward our time, our legacy, our mission, and our goals in ways that complement the biblical view of authority and enable us to work in partnership and not in opposition to God’s plan for biblical leadership? In this session, we will look at what the Bible teaches about how we can steward authority, embrace accountability, and become the leaders God wants us to be.
