Hebraic Leadership began with the first Hebrew, Abraham. Navigating himself between Spirit (the spoken word/wisdom/conversation) and Body (physical strength/coersion/war-like actions), he was able to navigate complex interpersonal and political situations with wisdom and ultimate success. Like Abraham, I am called to walk on The Way closely with God and community (local/state/national/worldwide) to temper evil in this world with good. Ultimately, Hebraic leaders know that final redemption and the setting of everything right will happen in a New Jerusalem, with the King of the Kingdom of God, ruling with those who have chosen to align their vision with His. In order to maintain healthy leadership positions, Hebraic leads are first called to seek a relationship with God and His kingdom first. From there, leaders can develop relationships, whether local or abroad, that exist for the betterment of society and the glory of God. One of my favorite examples of this dynamic is the team of Esther and Mordecai that delivered the Jews from destruction (celebrated annually as Purim) in Persia through a conglomeration of fasting, beauty, food, prayer, spying, hangings, and political edicts/rulings.
