Jesus calls us to be his witnesses and to disciple others (Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:18-20). This means that if you’re a follower of Jesus, you’re a leader. As a leader, you are entrusted with the responsibility to share the gospel, guide others in their faith journey, and live out the teachings of Jesus in your daily life. Your actions, words, and character become a testimony to God's love and grace, inspiring and encouraging others to grow in their relationship with him. By embracing this role, you become vital to God's mission to transform lives and spread his kingdom on earth. What a wonderful privilege and responsibility!

For this reason, we must continue to grow in our leadership skills and character development. Foraging the internet for useful leadership tips can be exhausting or time-consuming. So, I’d like to save you that time and energy with our Take 5 Newsletter.

Twice a month, Trochia Ministries curates five quick and thoughtful resources for your leadership journey and sends them in one email directly to your inbox. No searching or typing. Enjoying these leadership tips is just a click away. I have included a sample below of one of our Newsletters. I hope it blesses you!
