Leadership Minute: Following
I was asking the Lord to teach me more about leadership the other day, and I heard Him say, "Don't focus on leading; focus on following Me."
When He walked the earth, Jesus did not go out looking for leaders. He looked for disciples, for those who would follow Him. And He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.'(Matt. 4:19) In the Greek language, this was not a statement, but a command, an imperative. Jesus was not hoping or suggesting they would follow Him, but calling and commanding those who would be His disciples to follow Him. In order to be great leaders in the Kingdom of God, we must first become His followers-daily, moment by moment.
The foundation of godly leadership is found in following.
As you think about your own growth in leadership this month, start with these questions:
- What does it mean to follow Jesus?
- How well am I following His lead?
Before we can lead others, we MUST learn to follow His lead. Follow Him through the gospels. Watch what He does. This is Kingdom leadership. This is how we are to lead...
by following!

MY REVELATION WELLNESS JOURNEY
I grew up an overweight child. I would eat and eat some more. I had no boundaries on food nor did I realize the effect it had on my body. When I was in high school I unexpectedly got hip pain. It grew worse and worse until finally the doctors told me my only option was to stop playing basketball. They also advised me that I shouldn't gain any more weight. Not knowing how to control my weight I made an agreement with them to stop drinking pop and eating candy bars. Within one month I dropped 30 lbs. I was a sophomore in high school and I can still remember the moment I walked down the halls and felt seen for the first time. In that moment I became addicted to being skinny. I had friends who would yo-yo diet with me like it was a hobby. We would starve ourselves for weeks, take diet pills, laxatives, then plan binge nights where we would eat any and everything and start that cycle all over again.
When I went to college I feared nothing more than the "freshman fifteen". I would workout at midnight and often do two a days. It was then that I decided to get my degree in Exercise Physiology so I could be a "pro" at understanding how the body worked and ensure I never became one of those fat moms (my college self speaking).
My husband & I met in college and got married when I still had a year of school left to finish. I got pregnant in our first year of marriage and boy did a take the "eating for two" to a whole new level. Hello Krispy Kremes and blueberry muffins! I gained 65 lbs. and hated myself. I went into freak out mode after I had our daughter and was in the gym every waking moment. Because I was there so much and appeared to know what I was doing (boy did I have them fooled) the gym manager approached me and asked if I would teach group fitness classes. It sounded like a fun way to make some money and burn a few extra calories so I said yes.
My classes quickly became very popular for two reasons: -
I was terrified of public speaking so I purposefully wrote the classes tough so people would be more focused on staying alive than on me. ☺
-
Because I knew a little science behind how to exercise and fuel your body correctly the people who did attend my classes were shedding weight like crazy.
Again, this was another "I'm hooked" moment in life when I became addicted to being seen by the success of the classes rather than knowing I was seen by God.
Over the next several years I took every training and certification I could in an attempt to get better and do more. Because when your worth is not found in God you will never be good enough.
God intervened when I was pregnant with our second child and I was crying over how much weight I had gained (again). I finally submitted this area of my life to Him and the healing began. In my healing process I asked God if I could please stop teaching group fitness. I loved teaching but did not love how shallow it felt. It seemed everyone (including me) was more excited about burning calories and getting ripped abs then they were to chat with God or read His word. Shortly after I asked Him for permission to quit He placed me in a group with Alisa Keeton at a blogger conference. As I heard her share about Revelation Wellness I knew in my heart He was calling me there. I told my husband about it and He loved the idea. My husband told me we could personally pay for half the training but needed God to provide the other half. The last day for the registration for my platoon came and still no money so I told God, "okay not now." As soon as I said that to him I got a phone call from someone who said God told them to pay for half of my training. I scrambled to get my paperwork in and the rest is history!
I am so thankful that God brought me to this ministry/family and can't wait to see where else He takes me.
