Lead, and it will bleed.

No matter who you are, you are leading. But what for, and who for? Today there are countless ideas about leadership, and much of it contradicts God's heart. And Scripture proclaims that authentic leadership is not about status or spotlight. It is about becoming a leader after God's own heart.

The Leader After His Own Heart is a 12-part devotional designed to form leaders who reflect the way of Jesus. This devotional is made for volunteers, interns, pastors, and anyone looking to grow in leadership.

Each chapter follows a simple rhythm:

• Silence Before God: taking time to listen to God
• Scripture: passages that anchor leadership in God's Word
• Teaching: reflections that are drawn from real ministry life and leadership
• Questions: prompts to reflect alone or in groups
• Put It Into Practice: an action step to go out and 'do'
• Prayer: a guided prayer to center your heart back to God

Across twelve chapters you will explore humility, servanthood, character, calling, teamwork, competency, shepherding, emotional intelligence, and more. This is not a book of quick tips but a journey of becoming a leader whose life and ministry flow from God's own heart.

Whether you are mentoring leaders, building a team, or seeking to deepen your own walk with God and leadership, this devotional offers a clear path forward.

Because in the end, the greatest mark of The Leader After His Own Heart is not what they do or how famous they are, but that they are formed into the likeness of the Good Shepherd.
