Leadership Faith-Part 4

Text: James 2:14-18    The third and probably the most vital charcteristic of leadership faith is that it is: Action Driven : Action gives full expression to leadership faith, no leadership can survive or even thrive without action. Your vision depends on your actions to succeed, the steps you take are more important then the things you say.
