As I Follow Christ

Whether you are leading a ministry, an organization, or a family, God has given you a special mission. To fulfill that God-given purpose, secular leadership principles won’t be enough: you need to know the biblical principles of leadership.

In As I Follow Christ, some of the most notable leaders in the Seventh-day Adventist Church share what they’ve learned about effective leadership. Drawing from the Bible, the writings of Ellen G. White, proven practices, and personal experience, each writer reveals a unique perspective on what it looks like to be a leader who follows God.
