Since the beginning of time, God has implemented and executed His plan for managing change. God desires to relate to people and lead them on a path toward spiritual maturity and transformation. Stagnation is the antithesis of God's plan for transformation. As Christian leaders, especially those in ministry, we must continue to seek opportunities to place people on the path of God's transforming power (Rainer & Geiger, 2011). God longs to transform the lives of His people and that only happens through movement and change. The Bible is full of examples of leadership and change. Interestingly, when researching and studying biblical leadership and change, several common characteristics emerge. God called everyone specifically to make a difference, each was called to solve a problem and had their own mission and goals. Abraham, Joseph, Esther, David, Peter and Paul, all leaders chosen by God and all of their journeys included times of difficulty and trial, each experienced a crisis of belief and all experienced failure and grace of God (Hillman, 2011). Sometimes God chooses those least likely to lead. “As he approached Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? “Who are you, Lord?” » asked Saul. “I am Jesus, whom you persecute,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and they will tell you what you must do” (Acts 9:3-6). Paul's mission was to bring the gospel to the Gentiles, but it first required a huge transformation in his own life. Saul, persecutor of Christians, became Paul, the missionary. When God chooses people to be leaders and agents of change to defend His missions, He does not necessarily... middle of paper ...... encouraging leaders to remain true to our core values ​​while defending changes that keep individuals and organizations moving forward. God extends the same invitation to each of us. Jesus came to give us life in abundance, not simply to give our lives meaning (Hillman, 2011). “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). “Jesus didn’t come just to give us a ticket to heaven. He came to bring much more: the kingdom of God on earth” (Hillman, 2011, p. 41). God calls, invites each of us to enter into relationship with him and then to continue his work here on earth. As Christian leaders, we must bring God's kingdom with us into our families and homes, into our workplace, into our communities, and even to the ends of the earth. We must reflect His light and glory in everything we do, wherever we go..
