¿Sabías que crecer como líder no se trata solo de habilidades, experiencias o títulos?

Did you know that growing as a leader is not just about skills, experiences or titles?

True leadership goes much further. It is about becoming better people, from the inside out. Yes, true leadership begins from within: with faith, awareness and dedication.

We often look for answers in strategies, books or external experiences, but we ignore the most important thing: working within ourselves and connecting with something bigger than ourselves.

Last night, I learned 4 fundamental principles that have helped thousands of people lead with purpose, maturity, and confidence. I am convinced that they can transform your life, too.

These principles are based on faith, but here’s the cool thing: you don’t need to fully understand them from the start to get started. Just take the first step, let go, and watch how these principles can change who you are and how you lead.

Last night, our pastor Richard Harding shared a Bible verse, 2 Chronicles 13:11, that describes how people worshipped God in ancient times. However, what was most impactful was how he connected it to our current reality, teaching us how to apply those principles to leadership in today’s world.

Aquí están los 4 principios clave.

1. Ora.

2. Adora ¡SI, adora!

Here are the 4 key principles.

1. Prayer.

Although it sounds spiritual, this principle is incredibly practical. Think of prayer as a path where you can always let go of what weighs you down and start over. We all make mistakes and carry burdens that hold us back: guilt, pride, fears... The first step to becoming a better leader is to recognize those flaws, let them go, and be willing to change.

Prayer is like a daily reset, an invitation to release what holds you back and start anew. It’s a reminder that we are not designed to carry everything alone. Through this act, you can let go of what doesn’t serve you and open yourself to transformative grace.

It may sound abstract, but here's the challenge: How about trying to let go of those burdens you've carried for so long? In that act of faith, you may find the freedom and renewal you've been seeking.

2. Worship. YES, worship!

Worship may sound like a very religious word, but it is actually about connecting with something bigger than ourselves and learning to be grateful. It is an act that transforms our inner self and opens us to a much deeper experience.

Did you know that practicing gratitude has the power to reduce stress, increase our happiness, and strengthen our relationships? But here’s something even more extraordinary: When we worship God, we open our hearts to His presence, and in that space we discover a peace that nothing and no one else can offer.

Taking a moment to acknowledge the good things we have changes everything. It's as if by focusing our mind on the positive, our soul also finds calm, clarity, and a new spirit to face life. By being thankful, we recognize that we are not alone, that there is something bigger and more powerful that sustains our existence.

In that act of humility, our perspective is transformed. We begin to see with new eyes, filled with hope and purpose.

1. Busca Sabiduría.

2. Sé flexible y deja que algo más grande te guíe.

Seek Wisdom.

I love this point because it gets straight to the point: if you want to grow, you need to spend time learning, nourishing your mind and your spirit..

You may have never read the Bible or think it's an old-fashioned book, but I assure you that it's full of principles that can transform your life. What would happen if you spent a few minutes a day looking for answers in it? The Bible is like a manual for the soul, full of stories, advice, and teachings that help you mature and become better every day.

The wisdom you need to lead with impact is closer than you think. Make it a habit, even if you only have 15 or 20 minutes a day. What matters is not how much you read, but how consistently you approach these teachings.

Remember: the wisdom you acquire today will be what transforms your life tomorrow.

2. Be flexible and let something bigger guide you

Sometimes, in order to grow, we have to let go of our pride, our fears, or those attitudes that hold us back. Growth involves being willing to be shaped, corrected, and guided by something bigger than ourselves.

Being a leader requires humility, accepting change, and working on those areas where we know we can improve. The pastor called it letting the Holy Spirit work in us. It's like having a personal trainer who helps you shape your character and bring out the best in you, but for that, you need to be willing to let Him work in your life.

Think about that inner voice that always pushes you to be better. Listen to it and take the step. You may think you don't need help or that you can do it alone, but what if there was a force capable of bringing out the best in you?

Opening your life to the Holy Spirit means allowing God to transform you from within. It means letting Him remove what hinders you and help you become a light for others.
