Three words connect spring to leadership.

Change: As the harshness of winter subsides, the change brought with the coming of spring is beautiful and necessary. Change can be good or bad. Change is necessary to reach our goals, and change is Biblical.

Instability: Instability generally results from changes winter ushers in with spring. Tornados, hail, lightening, and other unstable weather is common. Change does not come quickly, easily, or without resistance.

Life: The most beautiful part of spring is seeing all of nature regain life. After a dormant winter, spring rains and sunshine bring life. The change is amazing, even through the instability produced.

Our leadership should provide stability and assurance through the changes that produce spiritual life.
