You weren’t chosen because of perfection. You were chosen because of purpose.
Your story matters—every scar, every chapter, every silent battle. As an emerging female leader, it’s easy to believe that leadership means having it all figured out. But the truth? Leadership starts in the unseen places where faith is formed, courage is tested, and purpose is refined.
You are not defined by the detours of your past or the labels others have placed on you. You are being shaped by something greater: divine purpose.
Rahab’s story in Joshua 2 is a reminder that God doesn’t lead based on resumes—He leads based on faith. Though society labeled her and dismissed her, Rahab made one life-altering decision: she believed in a God bigger than her past.
And that choice? It changed everything. She moved from being marginalized to being memorizedbher name etched in history and even in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1).
Reflect:
What stories or labels are you still carrying that God never assigned to you?
What would shift if you stopped living from your past and started leading from your faith?
2. Choose Faith Over Fear
Leadership isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about moving even when you’re scared. Rahab risked her life to protect the Israelite spies. Why? Because she saw beyond the moment. She believed in a future she couldn’t fully see yet but she trusted the One who held it.
You don’t need all the answers to obey. You just need the faith to take the next step.
Challenge:
Where is fear keeping you quiet, small, or stuck?
What bold step should you take in faith today?
3. God Doesn’t Waste Your Story—He Repurposes It
Jericho fell, but Rahab didn’t. She wasn’t just rescued, she was redeemed. God used her story to fulfill a divine plan, and He can do the same with yours.
That heartbreak, detour, mistake, or breakdown you think disqualified you? It didn’t. It refined you. It made you more compassionate, more resilient, more real.
Invitation:
Think about what your past has taught you.
Let those lessons shape how you lead because someone is waiting for the wisdom you carry.
4. Lead Through Faith-Based Action
Faith without action is just a good intention. Leadership demands movement. Rahab didn’t just believe, she did something. She put her belief into motion, and that’s what made the difference.
You don’t need a title, a platform, or a perfect five-year plan. You just need the willingness to show up, speak up, and serve.
Leadership isn’t about being seen. It’s about being obedient, even when it’s uncomfortable, unpopular, or uncertain.
