Katara Washington Patton is a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. She is a writer, editor, teacher, youth leader and minister. As she put it, “God has allowed me to combine all of my passions with my career experience and education.”
She graduated from Dillard University in New Orleans Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Mass Communications then went on to earn a Master of Science in Journalism from Northwestern University and a Master of Divinity from Garrett Evangelical-Theological Seminary.
On Patton’s blog, she shares theological perspectives, cultural explorations, and her ideas on love, life, fitness, and health.
I learned about her work a few years back when I ran into her book entitled Successful Leaders of the Bible.
She writes, “Leaders are those who make a difference in someone else’s life (whether that’s a large group or just one person). If you look closely, you will see a leader within. We are all called to be leaders in one way or another, influencing, inspiring, and shaping one another’s lives.”
Let’s explore with Patton ten of the Bible’s successful leaders—how they met their goals and lived out their God-given mission to serve people:
- Joseph
- Moses
- Huldah
- King Saul & the Prophet Samuel
- King David & Nathan
- Tabitha
- Phoebe
- Peter
- Paul
- Jesus Christ
