“Leading Through Example, Not Force”

UGW Podcast by Benjamin Velasquez

Episode notes

In this episode, we dive deep into the true meaning of leadership—not just through words, but through action, character, and the example of one’s life.

Our discussion is centered on John 13:12–15 and 1 Peter 5:2–3.

In John 13, Jesus does something unheard of for His time—He washes the feet of His disciples. This simple yet powerful act flips cultural expectations and reveals what real leadership looks like: serving others with humility.

We’ll explore why Jesus chose to break that norm and what it means for us as leaders today to serve the way He did. Then, turning to 1 Peter 5:2–3, we’ll unpack how to lead not by control or force, but with patience, humility, and love.

What does leadership through example really look like? How can we guide others without pressure, and why is humility the foundation of true leadership?
