What is the true goal of leadership?

In the first teaching of Pastor Dan Carroll’s new Leadership 101 series, he challenges pastors, ministry leaders, small-group leaders, and anyone who teaches God’s Word to examine what is shaping their leadership.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 2:4–5, Pastor Dan explores the difference between leading through human wisdom and leading in the power of the Holy Spirit. While information, strategy, and preparation all have value, they cannot transform a human heart. Only the Spirit of God can produce lasting change.

This message is an invitation to return to the foundation of Spirit-led leadership: personal time with Jesus, prayer, humility, and a desire to see lives transformed—not simply impressed.

In this teaching, Pastor Dan addresses:
• The difference between information and transformation
• Why human wisdom alone cannot change lives
• How leaders can evaluate the fruit of their ministry
• The importance of intimacy with Jesus in leadership
• What it means to lead and preach in the power of the Holy Spirit

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:4–5, 12
