Lead Yourself Well

Have you ever wished you had more authority, more influence, or a greater opportunity to lead?

But here's a question: How well are you leading yourself?

Hello, I'm Pastor Marben Bland of Greater Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Athens, Georgia.

I invite you to join us tonight for Session Two of our exciting Bible study series, How to Lead When You're Not in Charge, based on the teachings of Clay Scroggins.

Our lesson tonight is titled "Lead Yourself Well."

We'll explore two powerful passages of Scripture: Psalm 26, where David invites God to examine his heart, and Luke 16:1–12, where Jesus teaches us about responsibility, wise decisions, and faithfulness.

Here's what I want you to remember: You don't have to be in charge to lead, but you must learn to lead yourself before you can effectively lead others.

Join us tonight Thursday, October 29, at 7:00 PM Eastern on Zoom.

Come ready to learn, reflect, and grow.

Remember, leadership begins with you!

Clay Scroggins’s How to Lead When You’re Not in Charge explains how anyone can exercise meaningful leadership through influence, regardless of position. Five key ideas summarize the book:

Cultivate influence: Build trust and relationships instead of depending on authority.
Lead yourself: Take responsibility for your character, growth, decisions, and actions.
Choose positivity: Support the shared mission and approach challenges with hope.
Think critically: Examine problems thoughtfully and offer constructive solutions without becoming critical of people.
Reject passivity: Take initiative, accept ownership, and contribute where you are.
