A Tale of Two Hearts - Pastor Leanne Matthesius | Awaken Church
One can have a heart towards Godly leadership, and another could have a heart of worldly leadership. In this insightful message, Ps. Leanne helps us decipher between the two leadership styles.
In her powerful and thought-provoking message, Pastor Leanne Matthesius of Awaken Church dives deep into the concept of "A Tale of Two Hearts" - the stark contrast between a heart inclined towards Godly leadership versus one pulled by the allure of worldly leadership. With wisdom and insight, she illuminates the key differences that set these two leadership styles apart. A leader with a heart for God seeks to serve with humility, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to biblical principles. They lead by example, putting the needs of others before their own and striving to emulate the servant leadership modeled by Jesus Christ himself. In contrast, a worldly leader may be driven by selfish ambition, pride, and a hunger for power and recognition. Through vivid illustrations and scriptural truths, Pastor Leanne guides us in discerning between these two divergent paths, urging us to examine our own hearts and motives. She inspires us to cultivate a heart that beats in sync with God's will, one that seeks to lead with integrity, grace, and a unwavering dedication to building His kingdom rather than our own. As we navigate the challenges and responsibilities of leadership, may we be ever mindful of the tale of two hearts, and may we choose daily to align our own with the heart of the ultimate servant leader - our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Written By Ken Hulsey As most of you know, I am a certified comic book enthusiast. I have been collecting comic books as a hobby since the late 1970s and have been reading them since I was a child. Like many kids of my generation, I was drawn to titles featuring my favorite cartoon characters such as The Flintstones , Bugs Bunny , and Yogi Bear . My mother would buy them for me in packs at the Pick N Save, which helped me build quite a collection. While I often got some Richie Rich and Little Lulu comics that I didn't particularly care for, back then, you learned to take the good with the bad.
