Whether you realize it or not, you are participating in a succession process right now. Leadership changes are experienced in every ministry context. Every single one. At some point, you will eventually step out of your role. Succeeding in succession starts long before a change in leadership. Proper succession planning is a crucial aspect of your leadership. Effectively employed, it can help you and your ministry mature to become who and what God is shaping you to be and to accomplish what God has called you to do.
