WOFOYO SHORT: The Private Process of Leadership

Ever notice how some Christian leaders present a polished façade while others overshare every struggle on social media? Both miss the mark of true servant leadership.

Drawing from Paul's letters to Timothy and Titus, we explore what genuine leadership in the body of Christ requires—character that stands up to scrutiny. The recent wave of ministry scandals reveals what happens when gifting outpaces maturity. Leaders face a unique challenge: their platforms magnify both their strengths and flaws. Some failures expose truly demonic behavior, while others simply reveal the character deficiencies that pressure and prominence bring to light.

Yet the solution isn't broadcasting every personal struggle for clicks and attention. Jesus himself underwent wilderness testing privately before public ministry. There's wisdom in processing certain challenges with God alone, building substance behind your gifting where nobody's watching. When you've gained victory or received clear direction to share, your testimony becomes powerful—not because you're perfect, but because you've been proven.

The wilderness process may not be comfortable, but it's essential. It addresses the gap between spiritual gifts and leadership maturity. If you're sensing a call to ministry or already serving in leadership, remember that effective discipleship requires having "your stuff together" in the areas where you lead. Not perfection—substance.
