5 Leadership Lessons From The Christmas Story

It’s almost Christmastime. Wow, has this year flown by!

Christmastime always gives me pause. I find this time of year is an excellent time to reflect on what’s come and what is to come.

It doesn’t hurt that it’s also the end of the year. Only one more week until we’re in a new year.

But I’m getting ahead of myself here.

I want to talk about Christmas. There’s so much to unpack with Christmas, especially if you’re a Christian.

There’s also a lot to learn about leadership through the Christmas story…

King David is one of my favorite people from the Bible. I love his story because he went through it… and through it all he persevered. David was real, and his story is crazy sordid. I’ve written about him before, you can read more of his story over here… 

Ark of the Covenant

Despite David’s many ups and downs, he displayed a heart for God like few other people ever could claim. He unequivocally had faith in and loved our Heavenly Father, and, while David was far from perfect, his story is in many ways that of a genuine person that we can learn a lot from. David lived his life from the heart… and God loved David for that. In fact, God referred to David as “a man after my own heart” (Acts 13:22).
