The gift of leadership is so crucial in our families, our homes, and in our churches. But it's often confused with controlling and managing, which are different. The Apostle Paul says that leadership is a spiritual gift because, like all spiritual gifts, they are given by God, through the Holy Spirit, for us to build up the community. Leadership takes effort, and can be frustrating and exhausting, but we don't do it under our own power, but with the Holy Spirit.
