We trust them to guide us, to teach us, and even to equip us for reaching a goal or accomplishing a vision. The Bible is full of leadership structures and examples. Moses was a reluctant leader, yet charged with the task of leading the Israelites out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. David was a strong leader, but whose weaknesses caused great turmoil in his family and eventually the nation.
