Titles from the Tent

What if the path to true leadership runs directly through the valley of servanthood? This message from the series 'The Towel' challenges us to reconsider everything we think we know about titles, influence, and spiritual authority. Drawing from the life of Joshua, we discover that God's method of developing leaders is radically different from the culture around us. The world tells us to build our brand and claim our position, but Scripture reveals something far more powerful: before God puts us in front of people, He often places us behind somebody. Joshua did not stumble into leadership. He was forged in proximity to Moses, staying near the tent of meeting even when others wandered away. His story reminds us that the lessons we absorb while serving someone else become the very foundations we stand on when it is our turn to lead. If we find ourselves impatient with the process, eager for the platform before the preparation is complete, this message speaks directly to that tension and invites us to trust that God is doing something in us that cannot be rushed.
