Agreed and bad/weird jokes or should I say attempts at humor

Hey Josh, I’ve been inspired to start/lead recently ...so I’m a rookie but these are my thoughts.I feel that this idea of discipleship is supposed to feel like a family and it’s for designed for life long study and growth..but the idea is to create leaders by being a leader, and then you have completed that ‘mission’ but then once you have that connection & bond, they would perhaps go on to lead others or maybe they have other gifts of the spirit. These small group members they will probably be foundations in your life at some point you support others just as they will support you. Just ask God & the Holy Spirit to guide you and communicate in a real way to you, amen! Good luck !

How I understood it was you should strive to become the leader you would want to be lead by. If you want to be lead by someone who is self-disciplined, bold, and compassionate; work on those things FIRST in your own life. If you don't show compassion to people, how are you going to LEAD other people to show compassion? A leader leads and a follower follows. If a leader goes right, the follower will go right. But, if you're going left and tell your follower to go right, you're no longer leading them, you're abandoning them.
