Showing Young People How to Lead
by Wanda Kidd, College Ministry Consultant
Leadership is something that
needs to be nurtured and
encouraged in young people
from the time they are young.
There are techniques that can
be taught and caught, but
leadership is most effective
when it is seen as a long-term
process that is called out by
people who help the young
person see their worth as a
child of God. Their appreciation
of their intrinsic worth then
helps them to connect their
God-given gifts to the needs
that surround us all.
We, as the church, need to take
seriously our role in teaching
young people how to lead with
courage and conviction. There
are many ways that we can do
that and many churches do an
excellent modeling of that.
