Lead by the Name

???Money & The Kingdom??? For a long time, talking about?money in the church?has been a taboo. Many believe that faith and finances should never mix. But is that really true? ?? ???The truth is: Nothing moves forward without resources. Missionaries need support. Churches need buildings. Ministries need materials. And yet, we talk about money with hesitation, as if it were something evil. But Jesus never said money was evil. He warned us that?“the love of money is the root of all evil”?(1 Timothy 6:10). Not money itself. The problem is when money?owns us, instead of serving the Kingdom. ???It’s time to break this mindset. It’s time to see money as a?tool?to advance God’s work,?not an idol to be worshiped. When you invest in the Kingdom, you’re not just donating—you’re?partnering with God’s mission. You’re making sure leaders are trained, churches are strengthened, and the Gospel reaches farther. ???Every dollar given with the right heart fuels transformation. ???Every gift builds something eternal. ???Would you pray about how you can be part of this? ???Join us today and sow into the future of the Church. #KingdomFinances #Stewardship #FaithAndMoney #GiveWithPurpose #BreakingBarriers #SupportMinistry

SHEPHERDING CAN BE TOUGH SOMETIMES! One of the greatest challenges of being a pastor/minister is to keep in mind that we are all sheep of the same Shepherd, Jesus Christ. And when a pastor is leading His congregation, he must remember he is taking care of something (actually, someone) that does not belong to him. Besides, as the people he is leading and pastoring, he is also an imperfect being that needs to be mentored and pastored like any other Christian person in the whole Body of Christ. Lead by the Name aims at helping pastors do the best they can to accomplish this tough mission. That is why we are here and that is what we love to do! However, we also understand we are not able to achieve that alone. We need others from the Body to help us. We need YOU to help us. Would you like to join us? Do you want to know how? Get in touch and help us help more pastors in their ministry!

There are moments in which the leader will need to be alone and figure things out. However, it is essential that he understand that if he’s leading by the Name, he’s got Someone with him. And these lonely moments will serve to make him closer to the Lord, remembering that it’s not on him or about him! Thus, don’t get dismayed when these moments come! All things work together for your good: to get more alike Jesus!

“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” (Mark 10:45) True leadership is not about being at the top but about lifting others. When leaders adopt a servant mindset, they build trust, foster growth, and inspire those around them to reach new heights. Are you leading to serve, or just to succeed?

As we enter 2025, let’s reflect on what it means to lead with purpose. Leadership isn’t about titles or power—it’s about service, influence, and impact. The best leaders are those who invest in others, inspire growth, and align their actions with values that endure. This year, let’s lead with integrity, wisdom, and compassion. How will you choose to grow as a leader in 2025?

The Birth of Jesus: Humanity, Divinity, and the Call to Trust and Worship The narrative in Luke 2:1-20 is more than a historical recounting; it is a profound call to reflect on Jesus’ humanity, divinity, and the transformative impact of His birth. Born in the humblest of circumstances, Jesus entered our reality fully human. Announced by a heavenly host, His divinity shines as the Savior of the world, inviting us to trust His promises. The response of the shepherds, who left their fields to worship Him, and Mary, who treasured these things in her heart, reminds us that the Christmas story is not just an annual tradition—it is a call to live daily with trust and worship. This Christmas, may we all respond to His birth with genuine faith, heartfelt gratitude, and a renewed commitment to His promises. #ChristmasReflection #FaithAndWorship #HopeInJesus
