You Are a Leader (Part 2): Qualified by JesusYou do not need a degree or a perfect past to be used by God. In Part 2 of our You Are a Leader series, we look at Peter and Paul, two men with opposite disqualifiers, and discover that Jesus alone makes us qualified to lead.📖 IN THIS EPISODEWe continue our You Are a Leader series by asking what actually qualifies someone to lead. Using the stories of Peter (Matthew 4:19-20, Acts 4:13-14) and Paul (Acts 8-9), we see that neither education nor a clean past ever qualified anyone. Jesus does.—🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYSJesus is our qualification. Mark 3:13-14 shows Jesus appointing the twelve so they could simply be with Him, that closeness was and still is the training.Not disqualified by a lack of education. Peter was an uneducated fisherman, yet Acts 4:13-14 says people recognized his boldness because he had been with Jesus.Not disqualified by sin. Paul persecuted and killed God's people, yet Jesus met him on the road to Damascus and transformed him into history's greatest missionary (Acts 8-9).We step out, He calls us forward. God's preparation for your calling may look nothing like the preparation you think you need.Empowered and qualified by Jesus. Knowing Him, following Him, and abiding in Him is what qualifies you, not what the world calls credentials.—📜 SCRIPTURE REFERENCEDMark 3:13-14 · Matthew 4:19-20 · Acts 4:13-14 · Acts 8-9—💛 ONE LINE TO HOLD ONTO"You are not disqualified.
