KINDLE Servant Leaders

This is the second in a series of posts that will explore KINDLE’s definition of  "Servant Leadership”.

KINDLE has define Servant Leadership as the following:

A KINDLE Servant Leader helps others celebrate their Baptismal identity, become more Christ-like commit to the development of others as Christ-like servant leaders.

I love it that the first thing on “the list” for KINDLE Servant Leaders is helping others celebrate who Jesus had made them in their Baptism. This is a grace-place to begin. We are, by God’s action in our Baptism:

• His
• Free
• Saved

What a lovely place to begin! How can we help others connect with that Baptismal identity and celebrate it? Some ways to do so might be:

• To help Servant Leaders see feedback from others (positive and negative) through the lens of God’s total acceptance and love for them, as well as His desire to make them useful for Kingdom work.
• To connect them with Scriptures that point out their Baptismal identity (try Ephesians 2:8-10; Isaiah 43:1; Psalm 139:14; Romans 6:3-4).
• To help Servant Leaders know that Whose they are is the most important information and qualifying characteristic about them.
• What else??!?
