How Do I Know if I’m Called to Move from Sheep to Shepherd?

Question: How do I know if I’m called to move from sheep to shepherd?

Answer: You know you are called to leadership when your heart begins to break for the things that break God's heart and you feel a nudge to serve others beyond your own needs. Leadership isn't about being perfect; it's about a quiet, persistent ache in the soul that moves you from asking "Who will fix this?" to "Could I be the one to help?" Like David in the pastures, your calling is often forged in the small, unseen acts of care before you are ever given a platform.

Top 5 Life Hacks for Recognizing a Leadership Calling

• Audit your "pasture": Treat your current small responsibilities with excellence.

• Find a mentor: Look for someone 10 steps ahead in character, not just title.

• Prioritize Solitude: Hear the Great Shepherd's voice before leading others.

• Shift focus: Move from consumer to contributor.

• Embrace "Pasture Time": Character is grown in the quiet.
