There’s a leadership crisis in the Church today and it’s not burnout, strategy, or lack of gifting. It’s the absence of deep-rooted identity and love. God is moving powerfully across the earth right now, not just to mobilze leaders, but to baptise them afresh in love and belonging. This revival isn’t just about power; it’s about coming home.

Before we lead, we must belong. Before we build, we must be held. God is restoring His Church by calling us back to the foundation of Sonship. We are not first apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, or evangelists. We are first and always beloved sons and daughters.

Ephesians 4:1–16 reminds us that Jesus, after His ascension, gave gifts to His Church; expressions of His own ministry. But these gifts were never meant to function apart from intimacy. Jesus operated in the fullness of the fivefold because He was secure in the Father’s love. And if we want to lead like Him, we must live like Him: from love, not for it.

To recover healthy leadership, we must return to the life and posture of Jesus.
