But do titles really matter?
When people introduce me at a lecture or seminar, I’m almost always asked what my title is. Without missing a beat, I respond with, Diva Extraordinaire. That’s a good one for today, right? [One day I will grow up. Promise.] I cringe when I’m introduced as Reverend or Bishop or Pastor. I’m neither of those.
I’m not a Minister, but I minister. I’m not a Counselor, but I counsel. I’m not a Saint, but I’m a saint. And with a simple change from a capital letter to a lowercase letter, the difference is made. Because really, titles are simply capitalized letters to clarify organizational structure. I get it. Really, I do.
When God calls us, He doesn’t give us titles. But since we’re a culture that loves hierarchy, I’ll play along.
You want to change your college? Here’s your desk placard: University Changer. You want to change your work? Here’s your door sign: Director of Life Influence. You want to change your family? Here’s your title: Chief Domestic Operator. There. Do you feel better? 😉
Now go make the change you’re suppose to. With or without a title. Because really, David wasn’t a King until he fought, Peter wasn’t a Water Walker until he stepped out of the boat, and Miriam wasn’t a Worship Leader until she began to worship.
