Winston Churchill was one of the most important leaders in modern British history -an influential politician statesman and author. But what really made him a good leader? Many admire his characteristic wit and wisdom. I’ve always appreciated his stubborn refusal to give up and his willingness to do the right thing (even when it was difficult.) Churchill had some significant flaws-but that’s how we are all. There’s always room to grow and improve, and we can’t wait until we get ourselves straightened out to try to make a difference. I believe God can use us even with our weaknesses.

Many believe Churchill had a mild stuttering problem when he was younger, which made public speaking hard for him. Yet he overcame whatever problems, he had with the stutter and became one of the most inspirational speakers in History. This is the type of leader we need to be. I also want to overcome my challenges with God’s help, so I can encourage others and avoid causing anyone else to stumble.
