Change does not come to earth just because we believe – we must be willing to lead. Everything on the earth hinges on leadership. We are learning to live and lead from the throne of David – the heart and authority of God. The purpose of this book is to advance healthy leadership by understanding its value and purpose. Whatever we do not value we will discard misuse. Without leadership, great visions will never survive. Everyone who leads serves others, and everyone who serves is leading someone. Our lives were created to bring advancement to what already exists as well as pursuing that which has never been accomplished. David’s anointed worship as a shepherd boy did not change Israel until he became king. When we lead, who we are shifts the world or someone’s world. We must rule to bring change. Greater assignments are given when we address our current challenges. As long as we are alive – never stop leading, never stop dreaming and never stop loving – it’s God’s adventure for our life.
