From a place of yielding, surrendering, submitting, and understanding what a real relationship with God is truly about, and what repenting and developing an authentic relationship with God means in order to connect with others. I count it an honor and a privilege to know "God first," where relationships begin. As a servant in the kingdom of God, I count it an honor to serve in the many capacities I serve in ministry and the leaders I serve under. With the understanding that every leader needs a leader and a leader is always a student, teaching others is a privilege and an honor. As a teacher, I look forward to learning from others as well. According to Luke 6:40, Matthew 10:24-25, James 3:1, and Galatians 6:6-7, these verses emphasize that true discipleship is a two-way street. Teachers are called to model a love for learning, while students are encouraged to learn from and become like their teachers, recognizing that both are on a journey of growth and transformation in Christ, implying a process of learning and growth that continues throughout life.
