I don’t carry the title of “Founder” of Lazarus Restoration Ministries, but I’ve had the honor of serving alongside it for over 20 years, planting seeds of compassion, helping build structure, and pouring into people with a heart to see lives restored. Through this and other experiences, I’ve come to understand that leadership isn’t always about titles. It’s about presence, obedience, and faithfulness.
I’ve often questioned whether I was more of a follower than a leader, especially in seasons where I felt hidden, afraid, or inadequate. But looking back, I see how God has been shaping me all along. He’s called me to rise, not just to follow others, but to follow Him boldly, and in doing so, lead others into freedom, healing, and truth.
I lead by example. I lead through service. I lead when I teach, when I write, when I intercede, and when I show up for one soul at a time. I may not always be in front, but I carry the mantle of a leader, because I carry the heart of Christ.
Leadership for me is not about position; it’s about posture. And my posture is surrendered.
