You Are a Leader: The Identity God Already Gave YouBefore God ever asks you to lead anything, He already calls you one. In Part 1 of our new series "You Are a Leader", we unpack what the Bible really says about your identity, and why leadership starts with believing what God says about you before you ever do anything to prove it.📖 IN THIS EPISODEWe start a new series by asking one question: if God introduced you to a room, what would He say? We walk through Matthew 5:13-14, Matthew 16:18, Ephesians 2:10, and 1 Samuel 10:6-7 to see how Jesus redefines leadership around identity instead of performance, and what it means to let Him lead your life so fully that you become part of transforming the world around you.—🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYSYou are what God says you are, not what you've done. Like an apple tree that is still an apple tree before it grows a single apple, your identity was declared over you, not earned by you.You are salt of the earth. Matthew 5:13 shows salt heals, preserves, and brings flavor into the ordinary, dry places of everyday life.You are light of the world. Matthew 5:14 uses the word kosmos, meaning you were made to help transform culture, not just inspire a room.You are His workmanship, with a destiny already prepared. Ephesians 2:10 puts identity before purpose, the good works were already set in place for you to walk into.You are part of His ekklesia. Matthew 16:18 reminds us the church was built to be a launchpad, not a bunker, meant to shape culture with Heaven's humility.—📜 SCRIPTURE REFERENCEDMatthew 5:13-14Matthew 16:18Ephesians 2:102 Corinthians 5:171 Samuel 10:6-7—🏡 TAKE IT TO YOUR FAMILYRead the full blog for kid-friendly translations, dinner table prompts, and a family challenge:https://www.theriseupculture.com/blog—🌱 WANT TO GO DEEPERFreedom Coaching: https://www.theriseupculture.com/freedom-coachingKingdom Calling Assessment: https://www.theriseupculture.com/grow—CONNECT WITH RISE UP CULTURE🌐 Website: https://www.theriseupculture.com⛪ Rise Up Culture Church: https://www.riseupculture.church🕊️ Freedom Coaching: https://www.theriseupculture.com/freedom-coaching📚 Courses, Assessments & Resources: https://www.theriseupculture.com/growFOLLOW US▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@TheRiseUpCulture📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/theriseupculture👍 Facebook: https://facebook.com/theriseupculture—🙏 NEED PRAYER?We would love to pray with you.
