Well, my husband and I stepped down from our church leadershop positions, but I think what is hard is taking false accusations and just bearing it while still trying to minister to some of the people who are doing it.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 KJV
Reminds me of the Maxwell maxim: "If you think you're leading but nobody is following then you're just taking a walk."

Because the leader always gets smacked in the face with the spider webs first while everyone else watches and laughs as they do the heebie jeebies dance.
Because while no one else is willing to lead, they all want to tell the leader how to lead.
Because its not just you who might fall into the trap, its also everyone who is following.
Because there is always someone breathing down your neck.
The leader doesnt always know just how deep that hole is, or cold that water is, or hard the climb may be, all the followers have to do is watch and listen.
