I recently returned from Thailand, a country of rich diversity, unique foods and unusual smells.  Never have I been so aware of the impact of worldview on a nation than during this visit.  Where more than 95% of the population consider themselves to be Buddhist, Thailand have entwined cultural Thai and Buddhism, which effects every part of their daily life.  It seemed as though the spectacles they were wearing were significantly different to mine, and it was obvious that the way they view life shaped the way they eat, sleep and drink (and everything else), which has resulted in a life very different to mine. 

What if everything we were looking for in our leaders was wrong? The 'born leader' is easily recognisable, but when Jesus chose the men who would start a worldwide movement... he didn't choose whom we might have expected. Who Jesus chose, actually made Jesus quite unimpressive. The other Rabbis had the most gifted young men begging to follow them, literally imitating their every move. Jesus however, had to pick his own disciples, who were anything but extraordinary (Matt 4:18-22). So what does the 'humbly confident' leader look like?
