  • Are you producing fruit—or looking for a throne?

    https://patrickryanlewis.com/2026/08/22/the-bramble-king-when-ambition-replaces-faithful-service/

    In Judges 9, Jotham tells one of the most striking parables in the Old Testament.

    The olive tree was producing something valuable.
The fig tree was producing fruit.
The vine was fulfilling its purpose.
    None of them were desperate to rule.
    Then came the bramble.
    It had little to offer but thorns, yet it was eager to become king.

    There is a powerful lesson here for every believer: faithfulness is more important than position, and character matters more than a title.

    We live in a world that encourages us to chase recognition, influence, platforms, and authority. But Scripture continually calls us back to something greater—faithfully serving God wherever He has planted us.

    Before seeking a bigger platform, be faithful with the one you already have.

    Before asking for more influence, steward the influence God has already given you.

    Before looking for recognition, ask whether your life is producing fruit.

    My latest blog takes a detailed look at Judges 9:7–21 and Jotham’s warning about the “Bramble King.”

    Read the full article and consider this question:

    Am I more concerned with being important—or being faithful?

  • Ambition is not always wrong—but when ambition becomes more important than obedience, it can quickly become an idol.

    https://patrickryanlewis.com/2026/08/18/when-ambition-becomes-idolatry-the-rise-of-abimelech/

    In Judges 9:1–6, Abimelech wanted power, and he was willing to manipulate relationships, compromise spiritually, surround himself with the wrong people, and ultimately destroy anyone standing between him and the position he desired.

    He got the crown.

    But getting what we want does not necessarily mean we have God’s approval.

    Abimelech’s story is a powerful warning about selfish ambition, pride, leadership, and the danger of trying to build a throne God never gave us.

    Godly leadership asks a very different question. Instead of asking, “How high can I rise?” we should be asking, “How faithfully can I serve?”

    Read the newest Bible study on Judges 9:1–6: “When Ambition Becomes Idolatry: The Rise of Abimelech.”

    Our responsibility is not to build our own throne. Our responsibility is to remain faithful to the King who already sits on His.

  • LEADERSHIP STARTS HERE.

    The world teaches that leadership is about titles, authority, recognition, and being served. But Jesus completely transformed the meaning of true leadership. Before He went to the cross, He knelt down, took a towel, poured water into a basin, and washed the feet of His disciples. The King of kings chose the position of a servant.

    True leadership is not proven by how many people follow you—it is proven by how willing you are to serve them. Anyone can wear a crown, but only a humble heart can carry a towel. Anyone can give orders, but only Christlike leaders are willing to kneel for others.

    God is not looking for proud leaders with impressive platforms. He is raising men and women whose hearts are filled with humility, compassion, and obedience. The greatest influence is not built by demanding respect but by earning it through sacrificial love and faithful service.

    If you desire to lead in your family, your church, your ministry, or your community, begin where Jesus began—with humility. Wash feet before seeking a throne. Serve before you speak. Love before you lead. Because in God's Kingdom, the path to greatness always passes through servanthood.

    The strongest leaders are those who are not afraid to bow their knees. The highest position in heaven belongs to those who have learned to humble themselves on earth.

    "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant." — Mark 10:43
