In this episode of Reverberate, Pastors Jed and Isaias join Jason to discuss what Proverbs teaches about leadership and work. They highlight that leadership magnifies both wisdom and foolishness, making self-control, discernment, and just actions even more important for those in authority.
True biblical leadership is marked by love, humility, and service rather than efficiency or self-gain, reflecting Christ’s model of servant leadership. The conversation stresses that leaders are called to steward people, not just systems or profits, creating environments that reflect God’s character. Finally, they note Proverbs’ emphasis on seeking wise counsel, reminding leaders that humility and the perspective of others guard against pride and lead to decisions that bless those they serve.
