When I was first saved I already knew I had a longing to lead. I used that gift of God to lead a bunch of different ministries from teaching the Bible to healthy living.

I did not enjoy any of them until I started teaching effective Christian Living skills for Lady Leaders. That is when the fight began and the identity crisis went into full bloom.

I started doing that in 2005 and have been fighting for my life ever since.

Is it really about our identity?

Women gifted with leadership are well aware they long to lead. I was well aware of it but what I wasn’t aware of was the fight that would ensue to actually keep leading.

I don’t believe Lady Leaders are alone in this. I think Gentlemen Leaders are subject to this too. Is it really a crisis of identity or something more sinister.

I think it is something more sinister than our identity — it is the Devil trying to eliminate influential leaders; male and female.

When the Fight Starts

The minute you admit that you are gifted with leadership is the minute the fight begins. After you admit it, you begin aligning your whole life toward being an influential leader in the Kingdom of God.

When you ignore the gift of leadership and/or administration your effective Christian living goes to pot. You stop leading yourself and your family in the direction of God. The longing does not go away so you have to stuff it down. In that stuffing comes confusion and unhappiness.

Do You Desire to Live that Way?

Confused and unhappy cannot be from God therefore we need to understand that the Devil has a sinister plan to squelch all Christian Leaders, male and female.

So then the big question is – do you want to live this squelched lifestyle or do you desire to burst into leadership to join the fight with the rest of the Kingdom leaders?
