How do Dr. Ward’s definitions of leadership, ministry, and calling compare with your own?

I appreciate Dr. Ward’s clarification of what God’s calling actually is. So many times in churches, we’re made to believe that activities not related to church are not God’s calling or ministry.
-
Calling, is God-given conviction of your life direction. That helps define the understanding very well.

Leadership is the ability to use your influence people to work toward a common vision/ task. Ministry is a specific calling to fulfill a role in church or other organizations. A calling is a God given purpose to undertake
-
To me, Leadership is anyone who influences and guides. Ministry I thought of someone who studied Theology and has credentials to be appointed through a church to teach about God. A calling, to me is an inner sense of knowing. Or unsettling.

In the military, I was taught that leadership was defined at “Providing purpose, direction, and motivations to accomplish the mission.” . These kind of line up with Dr Wards definition.
