Christian leadership is not proven by how long we hold power, but by how faithfully we steward it. Scripture honors age, wisdom, and experience, yet also calls leaders to prepare others, release control, and finish well. In Christ, stepping aside is not disappearance. Our worth does not come from a title, a platform, or being indispensable.

There's a way to grow a monster without ever laying a hand on the child. You just keep telling them, by your silence, that they're too precious to be corrected.
