Key Staff Message | Unusual Leadership: Moses Part 2 Show Notes 02:30 What made Moses unusual? 02:47 Naturally gifted - spiritually potent - genuinely humble. 03:00 what stands out about an unusual leader? 04:30 as long as were leading with a goal of proving something, we are never stepping into God's unusualness for our life. 05:15 Moses had a healthy awareness of his limitations. 06:30 walk into leadership, but it does not hurt for you to understand your weaknesses. it does not hurt for you to understand your humanity, it doesnt hurt to realize you need other people. what sets Moses apart is he knew he needed other people. He had a healthy awareness of his limitations. 7:20 "Believe that thing inside you, that God makes unusual, God planted it there because He wants to do something unusual in your life" -@BrianCHouston 8:40 when you talk of big game - it doesnt reflect the humility that God's called us to. 10:10 False humility is just pride. false humility does not build anything. 11:40 Moses is a reluctant leader - often reluctant leaders makes the best leaders. 12:05 usually, unusual leaders don't go chasing position. they dont go chasing leadership. leadership finds them. 13:30 a reluctant leader is not reluctant to take God given opportunity. A reluctant leader means that you're not chasing after something. 15:00 Moses is an unusual leader because of his ability not only to know his weaknesses, but to compensate for his weaknesses. 19:55 Moses did not fight his battles by himself. He knew that he can never do it alone.
