What makes you an influential leader? (80-4)

Sometimes very unlikely candidates can become influential leaders. People do not exclusively follow leaders because they have influential, attractive personality traits but because they have relevant gifts. Read Judges 11:1-31.

Jephthah was Israel’s ninth judge. He was born the son of a harlot, driven out of his home and stripped of his inheritance by his father’s wife’s sons and had to flee the land to escape from his brothers, yet, 11:1 calls him a “mighty warrior.”
