4 Leadership Lessons for Christians
What Christian leaders can learn — and avoid — from a polarizing return to power.
The Moment That Got Everyone Talking
Whether you support or oppose him, Donald Trump’s return to office sparked headlines — and leadership conversations. For Christ-centered leaders, the goal isn't imitation or condemnation. It's observation and discernment.
So, what can we learn from this moment? Let’s unpack four traits that surfaced during Trump’s return — and explore what Scripture calls us to emulate… or avoid.
4 Leadership Traits We Must Discern
🔥 Command Presence – Trump doesn’t shrink back. Leaders must project clarity and authority — but never arrogance.
📢 Message Discipline – He stays on brand. Leaders need consistency — but must ground it in truth and humility.
💥 Provocative Strategy – He commands attention. Leaders must engage boldly — but avoid stoking division for influence.
🧱 Resilience Under Fire – He absorbs criticism. Leaders must stay the course — but remain open to wise counsel.
A Servant Leader’s Filter
We’re not called to mimic worldly leaders. We’re called to follow Christ.
Here’s the filter every Christian leader needs to apply:
✅ Humility before God — not pride before men
✅ Truth in speech — not spin for gain
✅ Vision that serves others — not self-preservation
Leadership is influence. But Kingdom leadership is influence used to lift others up — not ourselves.
