Leadership at Ground Level and the Towel Test | John 13:14

19:11

About This Video

When Jesus washed feet (John 13:14), He didn’t just perform a symbolic act—He redefined leadership. In this teaching, we break down a Foot-Washing Framework for life and business: identity over insecurity, serving the “Judas,” humility over hype, sacrifice as strategy, and repetition as revelation. You’ll see how choosing the towel over the title transforms culture, deepens trust, and turns influence into legacy—at home, in teams, and in the boardroom. Real leadership isn’t a title; it’s a towel. Takeaways Lead from identity, not insecurity—secure leaders give validation. Serve the hard relationships; integrity over image. Humility is a growth engine: it multiplies trust, creativity, and loyalty. Sacrifice is strategy: build around people, not ego. Repetition forms culture: small acts, done daily, create legacy. Subscribe for weekly teachings on the spiritual side of business and life, then pick one “towel move” to serve someone today. Where can you trade the title for the towel this week?
