How can leaders use God’s Word in the lives of those they lead?

2 Timothy 3:16All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

Scripture not only shapes leaders, but it also gives leaders the tools for shaping the lives of those they lead. God’s Word gives us guidance for our spiritual journey, reveals how we sin and stray, gives godly rebuke to return us to the right path, and teaches us how to remain faithful by the power of the Spirit. Leaders who intentionally teach, disclose, discipline, and disciple with clear direction from God’s Word will shape people in the most effective, meaningful ways.
