Leadership isn't always a major decision or a noticeable achievement. It can seem like you're just being there, giving careful attention, sticking to your word, offering encouragement, and providing service even when nobody is looking.

At SLED, we are finding that loyal leadership is developed by the small decisions we make each day.

What small act of faithfulness might you decide on today?

Throughout the Bible, God constantly called people into new phases, new journeys, and new chances to grow.

The stories of Noah's covenant, Abraham's journey, and Ruth's new start serve to show us that growth usually starts with a step of faith.

The fact that we are constantly gaining knowledge and progressing as part of SLED reminds us that each new season offers the chance to learn, lead, and serve differently.
