Lauren Luck, aka Loz, lives in Queensland and is a Student Leader with Power to Change, sharing her life, her faith, and the hope she has in Jesus.
We recently caught up with Lauren and she shared some thoughts on leadership, mission, and trusting in God’s strength.
She shared how God has been calling out of her comfort zone, growing her trust and reliance on Him, and blessing her through others as she steps out in faith.
What do you study Lauren, and why?
I study Secondary Education, majoring in HPE and Maths. I want to be a teacher so I can work with students in reaching their full, and often untapped potential. I had many teachers throughout my own schooling that inspired me, and I’d love to inspire the next generation.
You spent your summer in Japan on Mission Megumi. Why, and what were some of the highlights?
I went on mission to Japan because, last year, I felt the Lord was calling me out of my comfort zone. Going to Japan was exactly that, I didn’t know much about the language, culture, or people.
On arrival, I quickly fell in love with Japan, the university students we met were so wonderful and the Power to Change Team there were so welcoming. I certainly grew in my trust and reliance on God in the outreach space
What are some principles of leadership that inspire you?
I think the key principles for me are grace, love and fun. They’re super applicable for daily life, often reorienting me back to the mindset of, ‘What would Jesus do?’
What are you trusting God for this year?
I am trusting in God’s strength. I very easily slip into doing everything myself, and not always asking for help. This year I am leaning into weakness, simply so that there is less of me and more of God in the way I do life, throughout the highs, lows and challenges.
