This lesson explores the transformative power of a shepherd's heart in leadership. Drawing on the examples of David and Jesus, we learn to lead with love and humility, distinguishing true service from worldly control.

What kind of leader do we long for? One who rules with fear and authority, or one who draws hearts through love and service? From Moses to Paul, and ultimately in Jesus washing His disciples’ feet, Scripture shows us that greatness is found not in the crown but in the cross.

In both the Bible and history, we see the contrast between leaders and rulers: Moses prayed in humility, Pharaoh led with fear, Mandela led with forgiveness. Jesus taught that a true leader is a servant, not a ruler. This article invites you to reflect—are you building others, or only yourself?
