    I agree with Dr Ward’s definition of leadership. It doesn’t need to be with our faith. It can be secular as well. This is groundbreaking for me as I am starting to think whether I have more than one calling.

    Leadership is influence & a calling is a God-given conviction. I always thought of a leader as someone at the top who shepherds who is assigned to them and I never really had a clear definition of calling. Thank you Dr. Ward!

    Dr Ward gave clear and succinct definitions to leadership, ministry and calling. By her definition, calling is a God given conviction in my life’s direction. And as I response to God, whatever we do towards it is our ministry. And in the process of ministry, when we can have an impact on someone, we are a leader.

    I never really thought about what leadership, ministry, and calling meant to me. But I usually described leadership as someone who is put to a higher standard to help guide and lead people in the right direction. Ministry as something we just do for Christ, and calling being something God “called” us to do and we do it. And that’s basically what Dr. Ward has stated and I agree with her. Dr Ward’s definition of leadership is, “an influence on people to move them toward a vision.” Ministry, “anything that you do with an eye toward Christ and for the kingdom is ministry.” And calling, “a God-given conviction about your life’s direction.” I fully agree with her views on these things which is nice to see.

    When I was in corporate life, what not just sustain my motivation but kept me growing was this truth – God is my only employer

    Now I am no longer in active working life, we never retire from being an instrument of God’s love, the call is the same, only the platform has changed.
